Pyticeroides desodes OPITZ nov.sp. ( Figs 92 View Figs 92-100 , 111 View Figs 101-117 , 305 View Figs 302-305 )
Holotype: ♀. Type locality: GUYANE (French Guiana) (Régina), Montagne de Kaw Pk 36, 11.VIII.2003, J. a. CERDa. A second label reads: piège malaise ( FSCA).
D i a g n o s i s: The genus Pyticeroides KUWERT was revised in 2007 ( OPITZ 2007). That work included a key to Pyticeroides species. The available Pyticeroides desodes specimen keys out to I. ichnopsis OPITZ, from which the P. desodes holotype differs by showing a significantly more oblong capitular antennomere 7.
D e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 6.5 mm; width 2.2 mm. Form: As in Fig. 305 View Figs 302-305 . Color: Clypeus and lower frons testaceous, upper frons black; epicranium mostly black, with narrow testaceous line at middle; antenna black; prothorax mostly black, broadly testaceous at sides; pterothorax brown; elytra black; legs bicolorous, mostly black, femoral bases testaceous. Head: Frons deeply concave; antenna ( Fig. 92 View Figs 92-100 ) capitate, funicular antennomeres transverse, compacted, and densely setose, capitular antennomeres 7 and 8 rectangulate, antennomere 9 narrow oblong; eyes large, finely facetted, eye wider than frons (EW/FW 32/15). Thorax: Pronotum ( Fig. 111 View Figs 101-117 ) transverse (PW/PL 72/50), sides without tubercle, disc concave paralaterally near pronotal collar; discal and lateral trichobothria well developed; elytral asetiferous punctures small, mostly striate, punctures less striate near sutural margin (EL/EW 315/70); epipleuron well developed, extended to elytral apex; anterior margin of protibia with 6 spines. Abdomen: Pygidium scutiform.
N a t u r a l H i s t o r y: The available specimen was collected during August.
D i s t r i b u t i o n: This species is known from French Guiana.
E t y m o l o g y: Thetrivialname, dasodes, is a Greek name that stems from dasos (= bushy); with reference to the densely setose funicle.
