Onychotillus cinctipennis ( Chevrolat, 1874)

Figures 13 View Figures 11–14 , 22 View Figures 21–23 .

Type material. Type: Gender unknown. Type locality: Cuba ( MNHN). Chevrolat did not specify as to the number of specimens that were involved in his description. A lectotype will need to be designated when materials are available for study.

Diagnosis. The elytral margins are yellow, the elytral disk is black. These characteristics will distinguish the members of this species from congeners.

Redescription. Size. Length 5.0 mm; width 2.0 mm. Form. As in Fig. 13 View Figures 11–14 . Color. Cranium and antenna black, prothorax yellow, but slightly infuscated, elytra outlined in yellow, elytral disc black, legs bicolorous, abdomen black. Head. Cranium finely punctate, eyes prominent, frons much wider than length of pedicel; EW/FW 15/35. Thorax. Pronotum glabrous, oblong, minimally expanded at middle 1/2; subapical depression faintly expressed; collar narrow; PW/PL 60/60; elytra punctations striate, striae reduced near elytral apex; EL/EW 230/100; short elytral setae decumbent, long elytral setae recumbent. Abdomen. Aedeagus feebly sclerotized, phallobasic apodeme rectangular, phallobase not lobed, phallobasic rod present, phallic apex adorned with cluster of spines ( Fig. 22 View Figures 21–23 ).

Variation. Size. Length 4.8–5.0 mm; width 1.6–1.8 mm. Other than body size, the available specimens are quite homogenous.

Distribution. This species is known from Cuba. I examined three specimens from Buenos Aires, Trinidad Mountains, 14-VIII-1936, 2,500 –3,500 feet, Darlington (MCZC).
