However, the pronotum in the new species is flat and the labial and maxillary palpomeres are shorter than the antenna. Telegeusis cieloensis has a pronotum convex centrally, labial and maxillary palpomeres are longer than the antenna. Holotype. Size: length 4 mm; width 0.75 mm. Color: head, meso, metaventrite, and femora yellow; antennae, pronotum, elytra, tibiae, and tarsi brown; palpomeres brown. Head: flat, as long as wide at eye level; distance between outer margins of eyes slightly shorter than pronotum (Fig. 1 A). Interocular surface slightly convex (Fig. 1 A). Integument shiny, finely punctate; with an erect, yellow seta; setae longer behind eyes; with deep tentorial pits. Antennal tubercles prominent (Fig. 1 A). Inter-antennal area concave, twice as length of scape. Antennae longer than last maxillary palpomere (Fig. 1 B); scape widened. Eyes prominent, slightly longer (0.14 mm) than wide (0.11 mm); interocular distance twice the width of eyes. Frons concave, anterior margin concave. Clypeus with margin sinuous. Maxillary and labial palpi with 3 and 2 palpomeres, respectively (Fig. 1 B). Thorax: pronotum slightly wider (0.45 mm) than long (0.4 mm) (Fig. 1 A); anterior margin straight, posterior margin convex, sides paralles; disk convex centrally, with 1 gibbosity on each side; integument finely punctate, with erect, sparse yellow setae. Scutellum finely punctate, with sparse setae, posterior margin sinuate. Elytra 5 times as long as wide (Fig. 2 A), subparallel on basal half, then becoming narrower toward rounded apex; integument coarsely punctate; each puncture with an erect, yellow seta. Metathoracic wings more than twice as long as wide (Fig. 1 D), anterior radial vein sclerotized; radial cell and R 3 not fused; posterior radial and median posterior veins fused; cubital 1, cubital 2, and anal posterior vein not well defined. Legs finely punctate, with dense yellow setae. Coxae conical. Trochanters elongate. Femora fusiform, flattened; metafemora longer and wider (Fig. 2 B). Tibiae elongate, with 2 apical spines; metatibia longer and slightly widened toward apex. Tarsomere I is longer than II – IV; claws simple. Abdomen: shiny, integument shagreened with fine punctures, each puncture with an erect, yellow seta (Fig. 2 B). Aedeagus trilobate; basal piece (phallobase) covering dorsally basal half of lateral lobes, in ventral view, basal longitudinal margins of basal piece widely separated; lateral lobes oval, twisted near apex, bound on the ventral side by a median styliform blade, prolonged by a gutter guiding the apex of the median lobe, apex rounded, ganulate, with some long semierect setae; median lobe narrowing from base to apex, projected ventrally, erect, weakly widenning apically (Fig. 1 C).	en	López-Pérez, Sara, Zaragoza-Caballero, Santiago (2026): Description of two new species of Telegeusis, including the first species of Telegeusinae from Guatemala (Coleoptera: Omethidae).
