Tarsostenodes cribripennis SCHENKLING, 1916 ( Figs 1 View Fig , 19 View Figs 2-21 , 23 View Figs 22-40 , 76 View Figs 71-82 , 89 View Fig )
Tarsostenodes cribripennis SCHENKLING, 1916: 155 . Lectotype, ♀. Herein designated. Australia, Qld., Kuranda, (SDEI). CORPORAAL, 1950: 303. WINKLER. 1961: Tafel 1 ( Fig. 8 View Figs 2-21 misidentified as T. guttulus ). KOLIBÁČ, 2003: 46 (Photo 2 misidentified as T. guttulus ). SCHENKLING noted that his nominal species was based on 9 specimens. He did not designate a holotype. Therefore, I invoke Article 72.4 of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype for this nominal species.
Paralectotypes. Eight specimens. Australia: Queensland: Kurunda, F. T. Dodd ( SDEI, 3) ; Kurunda, Hacker (NBCN, 1; SDEI, 2); Herberton, Dodd, II-1911, 3700 Ft. ( SDEI, 2) .
D i a g n o s i s: The members of this species resemble superficially those of T. guttulus (WHITE) from which they may be distinguished by having asetiferous punctations extend to the elytral apex. Such punctation diminishes behind the oblique-transverse elytral white bullule.
D e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 6.0 mm; width 2.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 1 View Fig . Integument: Forebody dark blue, elytra tricolored, mostly dark blue, with testaceous transverse fascia at middle that traversed sutural margin but does not reach epipleural margin, elytral disc with 3 white bullules, legs and first visible abdominal sternite testaceous, remainder of abdomen black. Head: Cranium coarsely punctate, frons much wider than width of eye (FW/EW-45/20); antennal funicular antennomeres subfiliform, 9 th and 10 th antennomeres short triagonal, 11 th antennomere ovoid ( Fig. 19 View Figs 2-21 ). Thorax: Pronotum obovate, constricted posteriorly ( Fig.23 View Figs 22-40 ) (PL/PW-103/87), coarsely punctated, midbase of disc carinose, without tubercle at sides; elytral disc with shallow subbasal umbo, with anterior, epipleural, and posterior bullules, asetiferous punctations extended to elytral apex (EL/EW- 250/60); disc slightly constricted and compressed at middle. Abdomen: Male pygidium not incised at middle of anterior margin; phallobase slightly sclerotized ventrally, lobes fimbriate, delineated basally by a transverse sclerotic line, phallobasic rod extended laterally, phallobasic struts contiguous with phallobasic apodeme, phallic apex with uncus, phallic plates wide ( Fig. 76 View Figs 71-82 ).
V a r i a t i o n: Size: Length 6.0-8.0 mm; width 1.3-2.0 mm. The anterior bullule varies in expression; it may be expressed in form as a spot, line or is divided.
N a t u r a l H i s t o r y: Specimens were collected in December and January and February.
D i s t r i b u t i o n ( Fig. 89 View Fig ): In addition to the types, I examined 8 specimens. Australia: Queensland: Stanthorpe , 14-April 1929, E. Sutton ; N. Queensland, Kuranda , I- 1950, J. G. Brooks ; idem, 7.Jan.62, Carne & Britton ; idem, Jan-1950, J. G. Brooks ; idem, Kuranda , Haker ; idem, Kuranda, Q. Jan. 1953, G. Brooks. Specimens are deposited in AMSA, ANIC, BMNH, MVMA, SDEI, and WOPC .
