5. Tomoglossa floridana Gusarov, sp. nov. (Figs. 33, 43­46)

Type material: holotype,, UNITED STATES: Florida: Highlands Co., W Archbold Biological Station, [27º11'N 81º20'W], “ sphagnum ex pond ”, 21.i.1975 (W. Suter) (FMNH) .

Diagnosis. Compared to all other Nearctic species of Tomoglossa, T. floridana is the smallest and has shorter antennae with more transverse articles 4­10 (Figs. 29­33). Tomoglossa floridana also differs from T. decora and T. ornatella in having different shape of spermatheca (especially the umbiculus) (Figs. 45, 27, 36) and smaller female accessory sclerite (Figs. 46, 28, 37).

Description. Length 1.6 mm. Body and appendages reddish yellow; head and abdominal tergum VI dark brown; elytra brownish yellow with apical third yellow.

Head transverse, surface on disk glossy, with weak reticulate microsculpture, with strong punctures, distance between them equal to their diameter. Antennal article 2 longer than article 3, 4­10 transverse, last article shorter than 9 and 10 combined (Fig. 33).

Pronotum transverse, width to length ratio 0.37 mm: 0.27 mm, wider than head (pronotum width to head width ratio 0.37 mm: 0.30 mm); surface glossy, with weak reticulate microsculpture, puncturation finer than on head, distance between punctures equals their diameter. Elytra measured from humeral angle shorter than wide (0.33 mm: 0.37 mm), surface glossy, with weak reticulate microsculpture, puncturation finer and denser than on pronotum, distance between punctures equals ½­1 their diameter.

Abdominal terga glossy, without microsculpture, and with fine and sparse puncturation, puncturation becoming finer towards abdominal apex, on terga III­V distance between punctures within rows equal to their diameter and between rows 2­3 times their diameter, on tergum VI distance between punctures within rows equal to 1­2 times their diameter and between rows 2­4 times their diameter, on tergum VII distance between punctures within rows equal to 2­3 times their diameter and between rows equal to 4­6 times their diameter. Tergum VII with white edge.

Spermatheca with wide umbilicus (Fig. 45). Female accessory sclerite small (Fig. 46). Distribution. Known only from Florida (Fig. 47).

Natural History. According to the label, the holotype specimen was collected in moss (Sphagnum) from a pond.
