( Figures 1 View Figure 1 (a–d), 7)
Type locality
Brazil, Goiás, Minaçu, Serra da Mesa.
Type material examined
Holotype, male at MNRJ labelled ‘ BRASIL. Goias Mun. Minaçu Serra da Mesa X. 1985 L. C. Alvarenga / Museu Nacional Rio de Janeiro / Paraegidium sp. Vaz-de-Mello det 2003’.
Diagnosis
P. monneorum sp. nov. can be separated from the other species of the genus by having relatively long parameres (ratio phallobase length/paramere length 1.9, Figure 1 View Figure 1 (c)) and truncated lobes of the anterior frontoclypeal process ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (a)).
Description
Holotype, male ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (a–d)).
Body length 7.9 mm. Colour uniformly brown.
Anterior frontoclypeal process long and wide, as wide as head, sinuate medially, with symmetric lateral lobes; the lobes truncated apically, in lateral view their lateral angles not directed caudally.
Pronotum narrower than elytra, deeply excavated in middle. Lateral pronotal processes depressed, somewhat ridge-shaped, their hind margins with carinae reaching base of pronotum. Pronotum coarsely punctate to rugose except for very apices of lateral pronotal processes and a narrow area near anterior margin.
Aedeagus with long parameres: ratio phallobase width/paramere width 1.9 ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (c)). Endophallus with a group of spinules ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (b)). Apices of parameres acute in lateral view ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (d)).
Female. unknown.
Distribution
The species is known from one locality in the Brazilian state of Goiás ( Figure 7 View Figure 7 ). Etymology
The species is named after Miguel and Marcela Monné, Coleoptera curators at the National Museum, Rio de Janeiro, responsible in great part for the present Brazilian Coleoptera taxonomy school.
