Diagnosis. This species has metallic elytra and closely resembles C. aeneipennis . The male is distinguished by the larger size, the smooth elytral disk, by the shallow strial punctures and by the apical pronotal margin with lateral declivities extending to the median line (Fig. 5b). The female is distinguished from that of C. aeneipennis by the larger size and by the unimpressed discal striae.

Figure 47. Camptocerus noel , 6.0- 7.1 mm, male. Lateral Description (male). 6.0- 7.1 mm long (mean = (A), dorsal (B); male head anterior (C), anterior oblique

(D); female head anterior (E), anterior oblique (F). 6.6 mm; n = 20); 1.8-2.0 times as long as wide. Head, thorax, antennae and legs red-brown; pronotum commonly crimson, but may also be black; abdomen black; elytral color, ranging from metallic bronze to metallic green; rarely metallic blue in Bolivia and Peru. Epistoma strongly excavated, expanded to greater than a quarter length of head; surface shagreened; bearing few short setae; each lateral margin with a sub-acute, arcuate costa pointing distally; apical margin unarmed; basal margin armed with a transverse, concave carina (Fig. 2a). Frons strongly excavated; surface shagreened; bearing dense long white to yellow hair-like setae; margin of excavation bearing a single row of long hair-like setae. Antennal scape elongate and narrow, glabrous on proximal quarter, ventral half bearing setae, these equal to 1/3 length of scape; segments 2-7 of funicle bearing brushes of setae, these equal to the length of scape; segments 2-7 of funicle bearing setae on dorsal margin, these less than length of 3 segments; anterior face of the club setose, with a partial septum.

Apical pronotal margin with a lateral declivity extending to median line (Fig. 5b), area between eyes lined with fine bifid setae; glabrous, smooth, shining, minutely punctured; basal half deeply rugose creating a wrinkled appearance; base straight (Fig. 8a), without a transverse medial groove; carina on lateral margin type B (Fig. 7b).

Scutellum shape type A ( Fig. 12a View Figure 12 ).

Elytral sides parallel, narrowing to a smooth apex; base never tumid from interstriae 7-9. Elytra glabrous, smooth, shining; interstrial punctures strongly confused; interstrial and strial punctures minute. Tenth interstriae with a carina shorter than metepisternum. Metepisternum shape type B ( Fig. 9b View Figure 9 ); setae bifid. Mesosternum shape type A ( Fig. 10a View Figure 10 ).

Male genitalia. Median lobe arcuate, lateral and apical margins with heavy sclerotization; lateral folds thick, uniformly arcuate; apex rounded with flat lateral margins, entire surface bearing fine, pale and long hair-like setae except apical margin; lateral margins of median lobe folded dorsally, thick, broadly arcuate from apex to median struts. Median struts stout, laterally compressed and wider basally, slightly less than a third of body length. Internal sac central area membranous; seminal valve on apical quarter moderately sclerotized, lightly sclerotized below base of sensory claspers; sensory claspers heavily sclerotized, dorsoventrally flattened, bilobed, smaller lobe lateral, larger lobe medial; larger left lobe narrower, strongly ventrally curved, subducted under right, larger right lobe less strongly curved, broad, nearly occupying width of median lobe ( Fig. 74). Tegmen semi-circular, ventral side elongated proximally, spatulate and weakly emarginate. Spicule nearly longer then aedeagus, sickle-shaped.

Female. Similar to male except epistoma less than a quarter length of head, bearing a small median tubercle. Frons weakly convex, bearing sparse short setae; rugose, with moderately sized, deep punctures; a triangular impressed area originating between the eyes and terminating at the distal and lateral epistomal margins, the triangle is bisected by a shallow carina on the median line. Each gena with a crescent-shaped mycangium (Fig. 4b). Segments 1-7 of funicle bearing setae on both dorsal and ventral margins, those less than the length of 2 segments. Apical pronotal declivity weakly sulcate (Fig. 6b), margin between eyes lined with scales; disk smooth, shining.

Specimens examined. (84M, 103F)
