Pinodytes garibaldi Peck & Cook View in CoL , new species

( Figs. 37 View FIGURES 37–43 , 310 View FIGURE 310 , 335–342 View FIGURES 335–342 )

Type material. Holotype: male ( OSAC). UNITED STATES. Oregon: Garibaldi , 2 mi. N., duff, rotting wood, Mar. 15, 1955, V. Roth . Paratypes (5). UNITED STATES. Oregon: with same data as holotype, 3 ( OSAC); with same data except ex moss, 2 ( OSAC) .

Material examined. We have examined 6 specimens.

Distribution. Specimens ( Fig. 310 View FIGURE 310 ) are known only from Tillamook County, in northwestern Washington.

Diagnostic description. Total length 2.48–2.80 mm; greatest width 1.04–1.24 mm. Reddish brown; elongate in shape ( Fig. 37 View FIGURES 37–43 ). Head. Finely punctate, punctures separated by 2–4 diameters; with faint reticulate and substriate microsculpture. Eyes absent. Antenna ( Fig. 335 View FIGURES 335–342 ) with antennomere 3 slightly larger than 2; antennomere 5 larger than 4 and 6; antennomere 7 clearly larger than 8; antennomeres 9 and 10 lack visible sensory vesicles. Pronotum. Finely punctate, punctures separated by 2–5 diameters; a few large punctures subapically and subbasally; with reticulate microsculpture. Sides subparallel in basal one-half, narrowing apically; apical margin emarginate, basal margin straight; apical angles rounded, basal angles subrectangular. Elytra. Strial punctures moderately coarse; striae impressed in basal one-half; interstrial punctures smaller; punctures joined by fine transverse strioles forming a weak imbricate pattern. Joined elytra slightly wider than pronotum; sides subparallel in basal one-half, narrowing apically. Legs. Protibia ( Fig. 336 View FIGURES 335–342 ) broad at apex in male, slightly narrower in female; two curved spines at apex of outer margin; apical one-half of inner margin with fine, dense spines. Mesotibia ( Fig. 337 View FIGURES 335–342 ) evenly widened from base to apex; with strong spines on outer margin and apically; fine spines on apical one-half of inner margin. Metatibia ( Fig. 338 View FIGURES 335–342 ) slender basally, widened in apical two-fifths; apical two-fifths spinose. Metafemur ( Fig. 338 View FIGURES 335–342 ) slender. Male protarsomeres ( Fig. 336 View FIGURES 335–342 ) weakly expanded; protarsomere 1 as long as 2–4 combined; bearing elongate setae laterally and two rows of thin, broad, colorless phanerae ventrally. Mesotarsomeres without phanerae.

Venter. Mesoventrite ( Fig. 342 View FIGURES 335–342 ) carinate; longitudinal carina with a median tooth; depressed anterior to median tooth; excavation behind transverse carina. Male genitalia. Median lobe of aedeagus ( Figs. 339, 340 View FIGURES 335–342 ) elongate, broad, dorsoventrally curved near middle; asymmetrically, sharply declivous before short, narrow apex. Inverted internal sac ( Fig. 340 View FIGURES 335–342 ) with three curved spines. Parameres ( Figs. 339, 340 View FIGURES 335–342 ) slender, about two-thirds length of median lobe; each paramere bearing one apical and one subapical seta. Spermatheca. Tubular ( Fig. 341 View FIGURES 335–342 ), angulate near middle.

Etymology. The name garibaldi , a noun in apposition, refers to the type locality of this species.
