11. Pentilia ernestine Gordon and González, new species

Description. Male holotype. Length 2.8 mm, width 2.6 mm; dorsal surface shiny with faint trace of microsculpture. Color reddish yellow; head yellow; pronotum with lateral 1/3 yellow, median 1/3 dark brown with faint reddish median vitta; elytron reddish yellow with dark brown vitta in lateral 1/4, sutural margin narrowly dark brown (Fig. 56); venter yellow. Head punctures small, separated by less than a diameter; pronotal punctures as large as on head, separated by less than to 3 times a diameter; elytral punctures as large as on pronotum, separated by less than to twice a diameter, becoming larger, denser toward lateral margin; prosternum with small punctures separated by less than a diameter; mesosternum with punctures as large as on prosternum, separated by a diameter or less; metasternum with punctures slightly larger than on prosternum, separated by less than to twice a diameter in median 2/3, punctures becoming sparse or absent in lateral 1/3; abdominal ventrites 1, 2 with coarse punctures separated by less than to 3 or 4 times a diameter; ventrites 3–4 finely, densely punctured medially; ventrite 5 finely, densely punctured. Head with frons parallel sided, 1.5 times as wide as eye, clypeal apex widely emarginate, lateral angle abruptly curved (Fig. 57); eye canthus long, about 3/4 width of eye. Prosternum with lateral carina on each side straight, extended from apex of intercoxal process less than 1/2 distance to apex of prosternum. Epipleuron strongly descending externally. Postcoxal line on basal abdominal ventrite curved, extended 3/4 distance to rear margin of ventrite. Genitalia with basal lobe slightly longer than paramere, sides weakly widened from base to broadly rounded apex, apex slightly indented medially; paramere slender, weakly curved, apex rounded (Fig. 58, 59); penis long, slender, shortly attenuate apically; basal capsule slender, inner arm short, weakly curved, apex rounded, outer arm short, apex rounded (Fig. 60).

Female. Similar to male except spermathecal capsule as in Fig. 61.

Variation. None observed.

Type material. Holotype male; COLOMBIA, Caldas, Neira, Trocaderos, 3-XII-2009, leg. J. Monsalve, Coccideos. (CTNI) . Paratypes 2, same data as for holotype (CTNI).

Remarks. Pentilia ernestine has male genitalia very similar to those of P. chelsea, but both are maintained as valid based on differences in the dorsal color pattern.
