Notes about types.

This species was described from a single specimen labelled “Ill[inois]”. It has a red square label with "Type 5316" and a handwritten label " Eurhoptus pyriformis Lec.". It is not dissected but appears to be a male based on the more coarsely punctate rostral apex. The type was not examined although high resolution images posted on the MCZC Online Type Database (http://140.247.96.247/mcz/Species_record.php?id=5050) were examined. There is little doubt as to the identity of this species.

Redescription.

Body length (exclusive of head and rostrum) 2.1-2.9 mm, cuticle largely bare, variously covered with short, fine recurved seta-like scales, most specimens lacking other scales but some with head and base of rostrum scaly and with a few broad, flat pale imbricate scales variously arranged in irregular oblique band across elytra in apical one-half on intervals 2-7 and at bases of intervals 3-4 and 7. Pronotum with lateral margins straight, margins tapered more or less evenly from base to apex with greatest width at base, not medially carinate but may be medially impunctate in some specimens. Elytra strongly rounded dorsally and laterally, striae distinct, of large punctures, especially in posthumeral region; all elytral intervals evenly elevated, slightly rounded, each with single row of fine recurved seta-like scales. Metaventrite medially deeply impressed behind mesoventral cup. Abdomen with ventrite 1 with large median deep glabrous shining pit, area around pit with dense, fine golden inwardly directed scales encircling depression. Legs with femora and tibiae at most fringed with a few erect scales especially along outer margin of tibiae, hind tibiae subequal in width throughout most of length. Aedeagus about as long as one-half length of aedeagal apodemes, in lateral view slightly ventrally curved, in dorsal view with margins subparallel but abruptly strongly tapered towards apex at about apical one-quarter to one-fifth, apex produced medially as narrow extension, broadly rounded at tip, extension slightly narrower or more acuminate in some (scaly) specimens. Internal sac with large distinct cruciform apical sclerite complex, anterior bars longer than posterior bars, bars well defined, subparallel.

Distribution

(Figure 3). This species is widely distributed in the eastern U.S.A. from Illinois, Pennsylvania and Michigan in the north, to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Louisiana in the south, and from Arkansas in the west, east to the Carolinas. Any literature records of this species from Texas are of E. cariniventris . Salsbury (2000) records a single specimen of this species from Kansas without further details; Ciegler (2010) records it from South Carolina. Blatchley and Leng (1916), followed by O’Brien and Wibmer (1982) include Colorado in the distribution but this seems in error.

Notes about variation.

Some specimens examined have a few broad, flat pale imbricate scales variously arranged in an irregular oblique band across the elytra in the apical one-half on intervals 2-7 and at bases of intervals 3-4 and 7 (Figures 2 A–B). These specimens also possess a slightly narrowed apex of the aedeagus but otherwise do not seem to be different from unscaled specimens and the two forms appear to be broadly sympatric. Sequences available to date are predominantly from southern Appalachia, the majority of which represent the unscaled form (Figures 2 C–D). However, the scaled form is in fact more widespread, ranging from Arkansas in the west to South Carolina, and north to Michigan, and the molecular data suggest that this form is paraphyletic with respect to those unscaled populations in Appalachia. Similar scaling and the structure of abdominal ventrite 1 in E. cariniventris lead us to suggest its relationship as sister to E. pyriformis .
