Camptocerus annectens Wood

(Fig. 16)

Camptocerus annectens Wood 2007: 210 . Holotype: female, BRAZIL: Serra de Baturite : Ceara, (L. Gounelle), Strohmeyer Collection (SDEI).

Diagnosis. This species is characterized by the strigulate anterior third of the pronotum, by the basal two thirds of the pronotum shining with small punctures, by the declivital interstriae bearing uniseriate stout scales, by the discal interstrial punctures as large as those in striae, and by the discal interstrial punctures with their bases weakly to moderately elevated.

Redescription (female). 3.5 mm long (mean = 3.5 mm; n = 1); 2.2 times as long as wide. Head, antennae, thorax, abdomen, elytra black legs dark brown.

Epistoma impressed, less than a quarter length of head, unarmed; surface shagreened; punctures large, deeply impressed, separated by a distance 1-3 times diameter of punctures; 2-5 rows of setae lateral to the median line (sometimes abraded). Frons weakly convex, slightly impressed medially; unarmed; surface glabrous, surface shagreened, with large, deeply impressed punctures similar to those on epistoma. Each gena with a circular mycangium (Fig. 4c). Antennal scape elongate and narrowly rounded distally; segments 5-7 of funicle bearing setae on dorsal margin, these less than length of 4 funicular segments; anterior face of the club setose with a partial septum.

Apical pronotal margin broadly rounded (Fig. 6a), area between eyes bearing scales; apical third strigulate; basal two-thirds smooth, shining with minute, shallow punctures; apical fourth bearing stout setae (sometimes abraded); base weakly bisinuate (Fig. 8c); carina on lateral margin type E (Fig. 7e).

Scutellum shape type E ( Fig. 12e ).

Elytral sides parallel, narrowing to a serrate apex; base tumid from interstriae 7-9; discal interstriae with punctures as large as strial punctures, bases of punctures weakly to moderately elevated. Declivity with each interstriae bearing a row of uniseriate, stout, yellow-brown scales (sometimes abraded). Tenth interstriae with a carina shorter than metepisternum. Metepisternum shape type D ( Fig. 9d ); setae palmately divided into 4 or more filaments.
