Agrilaxia (Agrilaxia) sp. B
( Figs 16 View Figs 9–16 , 39 View Figs 30–39 )
Specimen studied. FRENCH GUIANA: COMMUNITE DE ROURA: “Guyane Fr., 12.iv.2010, Mont. des Chevaux, Comm. de Roura, RN2 PK22, 75 m, 4°44′56′′N 52°26′28′′W, P.-H. Dalens leg.” (1 J, NMPC).
The poorly preserved specimen without the abdomen except for the part of terminal ventrites with the aedeagus ( Fig. 39 View Figs 30–39 ).
Small (4.9 mm), completely black, slender (1.1 mm), matt species with dark green frons, scutellum and lateral pronotal margins; very narrow, medial, pronotal stripe dark blue-green ( Fig. 16 View Figs 9–16 ); preserved part of ventral side lustrous, dark bronze.
This species belongs most probably to the Agrilaxia opima species-group (see above) which is characterised by the convex frons, deeply emarginate lateral pronotal margins and well defined “agriloid” and posthumeral carinae. Unfortunately this very badly preserved specimen is not suitable for the description of a new species.
