( Figs. 1–4 View FIGURE 1 – 4 )
1923 Tagalis inornata cubensis McAtee & Malloch , 16: 253.
Description: (male). Total length 5.30. General color testaceous, except apex of first antennal segment, remaining antennal segments, subapical band on femora, subbasal band on tibiae, mark on lateral hind lobe of pronotum at humeral angle, scutellum spine, and metanotum spine fuscous ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 – 4 ).
Head. Length: 0.70, width: 0.68, anterior lobe 0.39, posterior lobe 0.33, width of eye 0.28, vertex width 0.16. Posterior region globose with a longitudinal furrow more prominent posteriorly. Anterior margin, genae and gula each with a pair of setiferous tubercles. Rostrum: segment I, length 0.35; II, 0.27, swollen; III, 0.24. Segments I and II with a pair of setiferous tubercles and decumbent setae. Antenna: segment I, length 1.85; II, 1.16; III and IV, too deformed to measure; clothed with pale pilose setae, setae longer than width of segment, more prominent on antennal segment I.
Thorax. Prothorax: Divided by deep furrow between anterior and posterior lobes. Anterior lobe length, 0.52; width, 0.52; posterior lobe length, 0.52; width, 0.81. Anterior lateral process of pronotum rounded. Anterior lobe with paired prominent rounded anterior and less prominent posterior swellings, lateral area between anterior and posterior swellings raised and crescent shaped, posterior swellings nearly congruent leaving pit in between; disc of anterior lobe flat, lateral margins raised. Posterior lobe subtrapezoidal, lateral margins rounded. Prosternal process with a setiferous tubercle. Mesothorax: Scutellum with a long erect spine, post-scutellum with a short erect tubercle. Metathorax: Metanotum with a long erect spine. Legs: procoxa with one basal inner setiferous tubercle, two outer setiferous tubercles, one subbasal and one apical; protrochanter with four setiferous tubercles; profemur slightly swollen, with six setiferous tubercles increasing in size distally on inner surfaces and a row of small spines on ventral surface with one setiferous tubercle at base; protibia slightly curved and clavate distally, with three setiferous tubercles. Proleg clothed with abundant short decumbent setae and with long pilose setae, more abundant on profemur. Mid- and hind legs long and slender, femur slightly clavate, with abundant short decumbent setae, hind tibia with long pilose setae.
Genitalia. Pygophore median spine triangular not exceeding apices of parameres ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 1 – 4 ); parameres slender, apical region curved strongly dorsad, apex acute ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 1 – 4 ).
Female. Similar to male in structure and coloration. Total length: 5.60–5.70. Head. Length: 0.72–0.74, width: 0.61– 0.65, anterior lobe 0.37, posterior lobe 0.30–0.32, width of eye 0.23–0.24, vertex width 0.14–0.15. Rostrum: segment I, 0.38–0.39; II, 0.25–0.28; III, 0.25–0.26. Antenna: segment I, 1.68–1.73; II, 1.08–1.14; III, 0.86–0.89; IV, 0.60–0.63; lacking pilose setae. Pronotum. Anterior lobe length, 0.54; width, 0.52–0.54; posterior lobe length, 0.54–0.57; width, 0.86–0.90.
