(Map fig. 41)

Anillinus virginiae Jeannel, 1963 a:76 . Holotype female glued on triangle and labeled / ‘white rectangle’/ Ernest Shoemaker Collection 1956/ 783/ Skyland , Virginia / A.Nicolay IX-16-1933 / TYPE/ TYPE No 69546 USNM/ Anillinus virginiae n. R. Jeannel det., 19 /. Deposited USNM. Cotype-female labeled / Skyland, Virginia / A.Nicolay IX-16-1933 / deposited LSAM.

Holotype examined. Specimen is in good condition, not damaged or dissected.

Description. Medium-sized for genus (ABL, 1.70 mm). Habitus moderately convex, ovoid (WE/ABL, 0.40), with maximum width behind middle of elytra, head of moderate size (WH/ WPm, 0.74), elytra relatively wide (WPm/WE, 0.78). Color of body brunneorufous, appendages testaceous. Dorsal microsculpture distinct across head and pronotum.

Pronotum moderately convex and transverse (WPm/LP, 1.28), margins slightly and rectilinearly constricted posteriad (WPm/WPp, 1.24), not sinuate before posterior angles. Anterior angles evident, slightly prominent. Posterior angles obtuse. Width between posterior angles greater than between anterior angles (WPa/WPp, 0.93).

Elytra moderately convex, slightly depressed along suture, relatively long (LE/ABL, 0.61), with traces of only 2 interneurs. Humeri prominent, slightly rounded. Vestiture of elytra short.

Genitalia not examined.

Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Virginia ( Fig. 41).

Habitat. No data.

Differential Diagnosis. Anillinus virginiae is ovoid in form with distinct microsculpture on forebody ( Table 2, group I of litter species). From other species in this group it may be distinguished only by its limited distribution. Additional specimens and aedeagal examination are required for further diagnosis.
