(CNC).  Description. Body small, compact and oval in outline;length 1.6-1.8 mm; body dark brown with legs, maxillary palpi and 2-3 basal antennomeres yellowish-brown, or body darkbrown with pronotum and elytra slightly paler, and appendages and basal part of abdomen yellowish-brown (Fig. 24); forebody with strong meshed microsculpture, punctation coarse, sparse and flatly impressed, pubescence sparse and approximately evenly distributed on forebody; head transverse and produced anteriad, eyes large and longer than postocular area, pubescence directed posteriad and obliquely mediad; ligula narrowly elongate and divided almost to base; antennae slightly incrassate, basal 3 antennomeres elongate, 4 subquadrate, 5-10 increasingly broadening apically, 11 oval and elongate; maxillary palpi with 4 articles, penultimate article expanded apically, and apical article acicular; pronotum strongly transverse, base strongly sinuate, converging apicad, disc with pubescence directed posteriad except for some setae at base directed laterad; elytra at suture distinctly longer than pronotum, pubescence directed straight posteriad; abdomen gradually but weakly tapering apicad, tergites II and III impressed basally, and with elevated punctures. Male. Tergite VIII transverse, shallowly emarginate medially at the apical margin and with short medio-apical carinate protuberance (Fig. 104); sternite VIII broadly rounded apically (Fig. 105); median lobe of aedeagus in lateral view with large bulbus and U-shaped, narrow tubus with broad and angular swelling subapically; flagellum long, thin, everted and about 3 times as long as tubus (difficult to see in Fig. 103). Female. Tergite VIII strongly transverse and similar to that of male but lacking median carina; sternite VIII transverse and arcuate apically; spermatheca with spherical capsule and inconspicuous short stem, in general similar to those of Gyrophaenaand Eumicrota.  Distribution. Known from Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Agaricomorpha websteriis probably broadly distributed in northeastern North America, south of the boreal forest zone.  Bionomics. Little is known about the natural history of this species but all specimens were collected in deciduous forests, mostly by passive, above-ground traps indicating high flight capability. Other species of the genus are found on woody and leathery polypore fungi (Ashe in Newton et al. 2000), which commonly grow on dead or dying standing trees. Interestingly, several individuals were captured by Lindgren funnel traps, which typically attract species associated with this type of coarse woody debris.  Etymology. This species is dedicated to our colleague Reginald P. Webster of Charters Settlement, New Brunswick, who collected the holotype and whose material has contributed much to the knowledge of Canadian biodiversity.  Comments.  Agaricomorpha websteriis the only known species of the genus in eastern North America. This genus was erected by Ashe (1984)to accommodate Agaricomorpha apacheana(Seevers), which occurs in the southwestern United States and is not related to species of the Palaearctic genus AgaricocharaKraatz where it was originally described ( Ashe 1984). The genus Agaricomorphais distinctive among the North American Gyrophaeninafor its divided ligula (Ashe in Newton et al. 2000) and strongly transverse pronotum with a distinctly sinuate base. Ashe (1984)listed Agaricomorpha'undescr. sp. 3' as occurring in 'Canada'and Agaricomorpha websterilikely represents this taxon.
