Choriphyllum bahamensis Perez-Gelabert and Otte, 1999

Fig. 3–5

Emended description. Body surface granulated; pronotum leaf-like with crest uniformly elevated throughout its length, without undulations, slightly higher at its midpoint; antennae shorter than length of hind femur; antennal groove situated below lower margin of compound eyes; eyes globose with flat- tened dorsal base; fascial carinae arcuate; interocular width of vertex between eyes (dorsal view) from above is wider than vertical width of one compound eye; median carina anteriorly rounded, arcuated, with hook-like shape over the head and posteriorly truncated; pronotum ornamented with small black spots; pronotum with radiating veins throughout the pronotum, but more densely concentrated on the foliaceous part of pronotum; lateral lobes directed downwards, close to the body.

Comments. C. bahamensis was the last species described in 1999 and in the original description the authors provide a type series composed of holotype, allotype, and one paratype. However, the material housed at the Florida State Collection of Arthropods ( Table 1 ) labeled as C. bahamensis includes only the holotype and two paratypes (one male and one female). One of the two paratypes is apparently erroneously labelled, and the female is the allotype mentioned in the description ( Fig. 3–5 ).
