Paulipalpina coatepec View in CoL , new species
( Figs. 250–255 View FIGURES 250–255 )
Adelopsis simoni ; Szymczakowski, 1968: 14 [and Fig. 4 View FIGURES 4–16 ] (misidentification—Gnaspini, 1996: 540, and see Notes under P. simoni , above).
Holotype, male ( ZMHB). Type locality and data: Mexico: Veracruz State: Coatepec 6, Flohr coll. Note: specimen misidentified as Paulipalpina simoni ( Portevin, 1923) in Szymczakowski (1968: 14) —Gnaspini, 1996: 540, and see Notes under P. simoni , above). Specimen here illustrated.
Length: 1.95 mm (our measurement).
Short Description. Eyes normal. Winged. Right lobe of the aedeagus slightly longer and thicker than left lobe ( Figs. 250, 251 View FIGURES 250–255 ). Right lobe pointy, with apex enlarged, slightly curved and shortly projected ventrad, in lateral view ( Fig. 250 View FIGURES 250–255 ). Dorsal opening of the aedeaus round and taking about 1/7 of aedeagus length ( Fig. 251 View FIGURES 250–255 ). Flagellum shorter (about 3/ 4 in length) than aedeagus ( Fig. 251 View FIGURES 250–255 ). Proportion aedeagus/elytron = 0.39. Spiculum gastrale of the genital segment short and straight ( Fig. 253 View FIGURES 250–255 ). Male mesotibia medially bent internally ( Fig. 255 View FIGURES 250–255 ). Female unknown.
Etymology. The name is given as a noun in apposition, referring to the type locality.
Distribution. Mexico: Veracruz State: known only from type locality.
Taxonomic Remarks. In lateral view, the tip of the aedeagus of P. coatepec sp. n. resembles that of P. consuelo sp. n., from Peru, and, slightly, that of P. claudicans (Szymczakowski, 1980) , from Brazil. However, in frontal view, it markedly differs from that of the remaining species described so far in the genus, except for its slight resemblance to that of P. arcuata Salgado, 2014 , from Peru, from which it differs in lateral view.
