Paralectotypes : One specimen. Brazil : Amazonas: Pará , Sieber. (ZMHB). Diagnosis: From superficially similar specimens of I . humeralis , beetles of I . sericeus may be distinguished by the concolorous (yellow) condition of the pronotum and concolorous (dark brown) elytra. Description: Length 7. 0 mm; width 2.2 mm . Form : Oblong subrectangulate. Integument : Cranium and pronotum yellow, elytra and legs dark brown. Head : Eyes large, very convex; vertex between eyes narrow. Thorax : Side margins slightly convex, anterior transverse depression not prominent, disc with slightly elevated and depressed regions, punctations very small; elytral side margins slightly broadened at middle, then broadly rounded to apex, disc punctations very small and profusely distributed; Abdomen : Aedeagus as in figure 24. Male Mesodermal Reproductive Organs (fig. 23): Two pairs of accessory glands; testis comprised of about 40 follicles. Female Mesodermal Reproductive Organs (fig. 22): Spermathecal capsule not heavily sclerotized; spermathecal gland attached to subapex of spermatheca capsule; bursa copulatrix saccular. Variation: Length 7.0–8.0 mm; width 1.8–2.2 mm . The amount of yellow on the humerus and the extent of yellow streaking posteriorly from the yellow humerus varies. Natural history: Specimens have been collected throughout the year at altitudes ranging from 160–450 m ; some in a Malaise trap and at night on tree bark. FIGURES 22–26. Various organs. 22–24.
