Material examined. We have examined 21 specimens.

Distribution. Specimens ( Fig. 359 View FIGURE 359 ) are known from Del Norte County, northwestern California, and Curry County, southwestern Oregon.

Diagnostic description. Total length 1.54–1.96 mm; greatest width 0.68–0.86 mm. Dark reddish brown; elongate in shape ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 37–43 ). Head. Finely, sparsely punctate, shining, with reticulate microsculpture. Eyes absent. Antenna ( Fig. 368 View FIGURES 368–375 ) with antennomere 2 slightly longer than 3; antennomere 5 larger than 4 and 6; antennomere 7 clearly larger than 8; antennomeres 9 and 10 lack visible sensory vesicles. Pronotum. Punctures slightly larger than on head, separated by 2–5 diameters; a few scattered large punctures; shining, with reticulate microsculpture. Widest at basal one-third; slightly narrower than elytra; sides weakly rounded, converging in apical two-thirds; apical margin emarginate, basal margin nearly straight; anterior angles broadly rounded, posterior angles weakly obtuse, narrowly rounded. Elytra. Punctation fine to coarse, confused; punctures joined by transverse strioles; subbasally with an impressed transverse striole connecting a row of punctures. Slightly wider than pronotum; sides parallel in basal one-third, then converging to apex. Legs. Protibia ( Fig. 369 View FIGURES 368–375 ) narrow at base, broad at apex in both sexes; two curved spines near apex of outer margin; apical one-half of inner margin with fine, dense spines. Mesotibia ( Fig. 370 View FIGURES 368–375 ) in both sexes narrower than protibia; with strong spines on outer margin, apical one-half of inner margin and apically. Metatibia ( Fig. 371 View FIGURES 368–375 ) in both sexes slender in basal one-half, slightly swollen apically; apex with strong spines. Metafemur ( Fig. 371 View FIGURES 368–375 ) moderately slender in both sexes. Male protarsomeres ( Fig. 369 View FIGURES 368–375 ) weakly expanded; protarsomere 1 as long as 2 and 3 combined; bearing elongate setae laterally and a double row of overlapping thin colorless phanerae ventrally. Mesotarsomeres without phanerae. Venter. Mesoventrite ( Fig. 375 View FIGURES 368–375 ) carinate; longitudinal carina with median tooth; excavation behind transverse carina; with patches of dense white setae lateral to longitudinal carina. Male genitalia. Median lobe of aedeagus ( Figs. 372, 373 View FIGURES 368–375 ) elongate, broad, apex broadly rounded and dorsoventrally flattened. Inverted internal sac ( Fig. 373 View FIGURES 368–375 ) with several sclerites. Parameres ( Figs. 372, 373 View FIGURES 368–375 ) slender; not reaching apex of median lobe; each bearing two apical setae. Spermatheca. Tubular ( Fig. 374 View FIGURES 368–375 ), angulate near middle.

Etymology. The name setosus, Latin , setose, refers to the characteristic patches of dense white setae on the mesoventrite of this species.
