sp. nov. |
Scolytocis furieriae Lopes-Andrade sp. nov. ( Figs 10 View FIGURES 9–12 , 85–87 View FIGURES 85–87 , 92 View FIGURES 91–93 , 94B, 95B View FIGURES 94–95 , 98 View FIGURES 98–100 , 101 View FIGURE 101 )
Etymology
The species is named after the ecologist, entomologist and great collector of Ciidae, Karina Schimdt Furieri.
Diagnosis
The species belongs to the fritzplaumanni species-group and so it is distinguishable from the other Scolytocis by the biconcave prosternum without longitudinal carina at midline, and the smooth border of the posterior pronotal margin. It differs from Scol. fritzplaumanni sp. nov. by the fine and sparse pronotal punctation, and from Scol. paschoali sp. nov. by the smaller body (usually less than 1.5mm) and smaller antennal-club (around 1.6X longer than funicle).
Description
Holotype. ( Figs 85–87 View FIGURES 85–87 ) Measurements in mm: TL 1.32; PL 0.53; PW 0.63; EL 0.74; EW 0.68; GD 0.63. Ratios: PL/PW 0.84; EL/EW 1.09; EL/PL 1.40; GD/EW 0.93; TL/EW 1.94. Body dark brown; antennae, mouthparts and legs dark yellowish brown. Dorsum of head with small, shallow and sparse punctures; interstice between punctures distinctly microreticulate. Each antenna ( Fig. 94B View FIGURES 94–95 ) with nine antennomeres (FL 0.088mm; CL 0.125mm; CL/FL 1.43); length of the antennomeres (in mm) as follows: 0.080; 0.035; 0.043; 0.015; 0.015; 0.015; 0.035; 0.035; 0.055. Eyes with greatest width 1.25X the basal width of scutellum. Pronotum finely and sparsely punctate; puncture small, shallow, separate by a distance of two to three puncture widths; anterolateral margins straight; posterolateral angles broadly rounded; posterior margin without a rugose border. Scutellum slightly rugose, basal width 0.17X the EW. Elytra with punctation confused, coarser and denser than that of pronotum; punctures irregular, deep, coalescent near the margin; interstice between punctures smooth to finely rugose; elytral apex truncate, bearing sparse and small cuticular globules, with weak concavity when seen from above. Each hindwing ( Fig. 92 View FIGURES 91–93 ) with apical area bearing two distinct pigmented lines, one near the anterior margin and the other almost reaching the posterior margin. Prosternum biconcave, without conspicuous longitudinal carina at midline; surface shiny, slightly rugose. Metaventrite glabrous, finely granulose at disc; either side bearing some large obsolescent punctures, with rugose to striated interstice; discrimen half the length of the metaventrite at midline. Abdominal ventrites bearing some small and sparse setae; surface finely granulose. Each metatibia ( Fig. 95B View FIGURES 94–95 ) broadly rounded, around 3X as long as broad; outer apical and outer lateral edges forming an obtuse rounded angle; outer edge with spines (around 20) closer to each other at apical one-fourth, then getting sparser. Male genitalia (in paratypes). ( Figs 98 View FIGURES 98–100 ) Apical portion of tegmen subpentagonal; median lobe around 1.3X longer than tegmen.

Distribution
Known from various localities in the states of Pará (North Region), Bahia (Northeast Region), and Espírito Santo ( Southeast Region ) ( Fig. 101 View FIGURE 101 ) .
Host fungi Unknown.
Comments
Scol. furieriae sp. nov. was first collected by Gumier-Costa (2004), who found it only in a primary forest of the Amazon Basin. The type locality is Serra do Teimoso (Jussari, BA), a small forest remnant (around 200ha) maintained as a “Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural” (RPPN, Private Reserve of Natural Patrimony). The species is sympatric to Falsocis brasiliensis Lopes-Andrade (an endangered ciid species; Lopes- Andrade 2007b).
