2. Cyrea ida Canepari and Gordon , new species

Description. Male holotype. Length 3.8 mm, width 2.8 mm; body oval, elongate, convex. Dorsal surface with head weakly alutaceous, slightly shiny, pronotum and elytron smooth, shiny. Color yellow except head with black vertex; pronotum with black basomedian macula extended slightly more than 1/2 distance to anterior pronotal margin, macula deeply emarginate with yellow medially; elytron with sutural margin narrowly bordered with black, with 4 elongate black spots, humeral spot elongate oval, extended posteriorly from humeral callus, discal spot elongate oval, posterolateral spot on lateral margin somewhat triangular, posteromedian spot slightly oblique with anterolateral angle truncate ( Fig. 7 ); ventral surface with head, prosternal process, meso and metaventrites black; abdomen brownish yellow except median 1/3 of ventrites 1-4 brown. Head punctures small, separated by a diameter or less, each puncture slightly larger than an eye facet; pronotal punctures larger than head punctures, separated by about a diameter, elytral punctures larger than on pronotum, separated by 1 to 2 times a diameter; metaventral punctures larger than on elytron, separated by about a diameter, larger in lateral 1/3. Clypeus emarginate apically, lateral angle rounded, surface with sparse, long pubescence. Eye canthus about 6 eye facets long, angled forward, apically rounded, yellow. Pronotum narrowed from base to apex, basal and anterior angles abrupt, lateral margin curved, basal margin with trace of bordering line medially. Epipleuron narrow, grooved, not descending externally, deeply emarginate for reception of femoral apices. Protibia with oblique angle as wide as remainder of protibia, outer margin slightly arcuate, smooth, sponda not extended beyond oblique angle. Carinae on prosternal process narrowly separated at apex, convergent, joined at basal 1/3 of prosternum, connected to prosternal base by single carina. Metaventrite without setal tuft. Basal abdominal ventrite without setal tuft. Abdomen with postcoxal line on basal abdominal ventrite rounded throughout, extended forward at apex, ventrite with sparse, long pubescence and small punctures medially becoming smaller and denser laterally; ventrites 2-6 pubescent throughout, punctures fine, sparse medially, becoming denser laterally; 5th ventrite depressed in median 1/3, apex shallowly emarginate; 6th ventrite medially depressed, apex emarginate with lateral angle rounded. Apical tergite finely, densely punctured, apex weakly emarginate. Genitalia with basal lobe 3/4 as long as paramere, asymmetrical, sides convergent from base to abruptly rounded apex,; paramere Psc, narrow at base, widened in median 1/3, narrowed to rounded apex in apical 1/3 ( Fig. 8, 9 ); sipho strongly curved in basal 1/2, without visible alae, basal capsule with inner arm short, widened to rounded apex in apical 1/2, outer arm short, about as long as inner arm, with accessory piece, basal border shallowly, widely emarginate ( Fig. 10, 11 ).

Female. Unknown.

Variation. Length 3.4 to 3.8 mm, width 2.3 to. 2.8 mm.

Type material. Holotype male; ( Brazil), Vila Monte Verde , Minas Gerais, 13.XI 1970, J. Halik, 10435. ( MZSP) . Paratypes; 3, 1, same data as holotype ; 2, same data as holotype except dates 29.X 1970, 30.XI 1971 ( MZSP) .

Remarks. Cyrea ida is similar to C. renee in size and dorsal color pattern, but differs by having all spots on elytron distinctly separated, and paramere of male genitalia narrowed apically rather than widened as in C. renee .
