Tarsostenodes gibbus OPITZ , nov.sp. ( Figs 12 View Figs 2-21 , 31 View Figs 22-40 , 57, 77, 89)
Holotype: Ƌ. Australia: n. Qld., Davies Ck., 22 km WSW of Mareeba, Malaise T., 2.xii.1984 - 7.i.1985, Storey & Titmarsh ( QPIM).
Paratypes: Three. Australia: n. Qld., Davies Ck., 22 km WSW of Mareeba, Malaise T., 6.xi.- 2.xii.1984, Storey & Halfpapp ( WOPC, 1) ; 17 km up Mt. Lewis Rd , 1.xi.1990. S. DeFaveri & R. Storey ( QPIM, 1) ; Queensland, Cairns, P. P. Dodd ( BMNH, 1) .
D i a g n o s i s: The glabrous condition of the posterior half of the elytral disc, and the strong constricted condition of the elytral middle, will distinguish the members of the species from congeners.
D e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 4.0 mm; width 1.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 57. Integument: Body brown, elytron with 3 white bullules. Head: Cranium coarsely punctate, frons wider than width of eye (FW/EW-30/18); antennal funicular antennomeres subfiliform, 9 th and 10 th antennomeres triagonal, 11 th globose ( Fig. 12 View Figs 2-21 ). Thorax: Pronotum obovate, constricted posteriorly ( Fig. 31 View Figs 22-40 ) ( PL /PW- 75/58), coarsely punctated, with a longitudinal glabrous plate, without tubercle at sides; elytral disc with prominent subbasal umbo, with anterior, epipleural, and posterior bullules, with large asetiferous punctations that end at posterior bullule ( EL /EW-195/40); disc strongly constricted and compressed at middle. Abdomen: Male pygidium not incised at middle of anterior margin; phallobase extended anteriorly ventrally, lobes particularly elongate, fimbriate, delineated basally by a transverse sclerotic line, phallobasic rod extended laterally, phallobasic struts contiguous with phallobasic apodeme, phallic apex triagonal, apex curvate, phallic plates wide ( Fig. 77 View Figs 71-82 ).
V a r i a t i o n: The four specimens before me are quite homogeneous.
N a t u r a l H i s t o r y. The holotype was collected in November, December, and January; two others with a Malaise trap.
D i s t r i b u t i o n ( Fig. 89 View Fig ): This species is known only from northeastern Australia.
E t y m o l o g y: The specific epithet gibbus (= swollen) is a Latin adjective. The name refers to the well-developed umbo at the elytral base.
