Camptocerus coccoformus Smith and Cognato , new species

(Fig. 27, 58)

Elytral sides parallel, narrowing to a smooth apex; base never tumid from interstriae 7-9. Disk with shallow rugosities extending from striae 1 to interstriae 4 and from the base to just beyond the scutellum, the remaining elytral surface minutely granulate. Declivital interstriae bearing uniseriate rows of yellow-brown scales. Tenth interstriae with a carina encompassing elytra. Metepisternum shape type C ( Fig. 9c ); setae palmately divided into 4 or more filaments. Mesosternum shape type D ( Fig. 10d ). Second sternite convex, scarcely protuberant below level of sternite 1.

Male genitalia. Median lobe strongly arcuate, lateral and apical margins with more sclerotization, apex broad; apical orifice membranous with sclerotized veins; lateral folds on basal third contiguous, folds forming an acute point. Median struts half of body length. Internal sac central area lightly sclerotized, seminal trough lightly sclerotized, sinuous ( Fig. 58). Tegmen semi-circular, ventral side elongated proximally. Spicule nearly longer then aedeagus, sickle-shaped.

Female. Similar to male except epistoma less impressed, less than a quarter length of head and unarmed; a row of hair-like setae on apical margin. Frons flat, with medial area slightly impressed and joining with the impressed area of the epistoma. Each gena with a circular mycangium (Fig. 4c). Segments 3-7 of funicle bearing setae on dorsal margin less than the length of 3 segments. Second sternite ventrally convex and distally distended, noticeably smaller than that of the male.

Specimens examined. (1M, 3F)
