Tarsostenodes albonotatus (PIC), 1941a ( Figs 11 View Figs 2-21 , 25 View Figs 22-40 , 56, 75, 89)

Mimopallenis albonotatus PIC, 1941a: 3 . Lectotype, gender unknown, herein designated (MNHN). [ Australia] Kuranda, Hacker. CORPORAAL, 1950: 292. KOLIBÁČ, 2003: 45. Pic did not indicate in his description whether his nominal species is based on more than one specimen. Therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN and designate a lectotype for this nominal species.

D i a g n o s i s: There are three species in Tarsostenodes whose specimens have the body and legs mostly black, T. albonotatus , T. gibbus , and T. morulus . From the latter two species, T. albonotatus is distinguished by having asetiferous punctation behind the posterior bullule.

D e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 5.0 mm; width 1.2 mm. Form: As in Fig. 56. Integument: Body and legs black, with blue shine, with 3 white bullules, elytral posterior third dark brown. Head: Cranium coarsely punctate, frons wider than width of eye (FW/EW-27/17); antennal funicular antennomeres subfiliform, 9 th and 10 th antennomeres long triagonal, 11 th antennomere ovoid ( Fig. 11 View Figs 2-21 ). Thorax: Pronotum oblong, constricted posteriorly ( Fig. 25 View Figs 22-40 ) (PL/PW-80/60), coarsely punctated, with a longitudinal glabrous plate, without tubercle at sides; elytral disc with subbasal shallow umbo, with anterior, epipleural, and posterior bullules, with large asetiferous punctations that extend posteriorly beyond posterior bullule, but do not reach elytral apex (EL/EW- 170/40). Abdomen ( Fig. 75 View Figs 71-82 ): Male pygidium not incised at middle of anterior margin; phallobase slightly sclerotized ventrally, lobes fimbriate and delineated basally by a transverse sclerotic line, phallobasic rod extended laterally, phallobasic struts contiguous with phallobasic apodeme, phallic apex triangular, phallic plates wide.

V a r i a t i o n: The 2 specimens before me are quite homogeneous.

N a t u r a l H i s t o r y: The non-type specimen was collected at 335 m, between the 3 rd of May and the 20 th of June.

D i s t r i b u t i o n ( Fig. 89 View Fig ): In addition to the type, I examined 2 specimens. Australia: Queensland: N. Queensland, Kuranda , 335 m, 3-V-20-VI-1913, R. E. Turner ; idem, Kuranda, Qld., April, 1905, F. P. Dodd. Specimens are deposited in MNHN, MVMA, and SAMA .
