2. Pentilia bernadette Gordon and González, new species

Description. Male holotype. Length 2.1 mm, width 2.0 mm; dorsal surface with faint microsculpture. Color brownish black; head yellow; pronotum with lateral 1/3 yellow; elytron with narrow yellow lateral margin (Fig. 7); venter yellow; abdomen yellow. Head punctures coarse, separated by a diameter or less; pronotal punctures small, separated by a diameter or less; elytral punctures larger than on pronotum, separated by less than to twice a diameter; prosternum with small punctures separated by less than a diameter; mesosternum with coarse punctures separated by less than to twice a diameter; metasternum impunctate or nearly so; abdominal ventrites 1, 2 with distinct punctures separated by less than to twice 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. 8); eye canthus long, about 3/4 width of eye. Prosternum with lateral carina on each side short, straight, extended from apex of intercoxal process about 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 longer than paramere, sides parallel in basal 4/5, apical 1/5 narrowed to broadly rounded apex; paramere slender, nearly straight, apex rounded (Fig. 9, 10); penis short, robust, basal capsule slender, inner arm long, apically widened, outer arm short, apex truncate (Fig. 11).

Female. Similar to male except genitalia with ramus of spermathecal capsule wide, cornu weakly curved, apex acute (Fig. 12).

Variation. Length 2.0 to 2.6 mm, width 1.9 to 2.4 mm.

Remarks. The black elytra with a narrow, lateral, yellow border distinguish this species from all other species of Pentilia except P. traci . The latter species is Brazilian with a wider lateral border on each elytron and has different male genitalia; see description under P. traci .
