Roth, 1 (EMEC). <b>Material examined</b>. We have examined 21 specimens. <b>Distribution.</b> Specimens (Fig. 359) are known from Del Norte County, northwestern California, and Curry County, southwestern Oregon. <b>Diagnostic description</b>. Total length 1.54–1.96 mm; greatest width 0.68–0.86 mm. Dark reddish brown; elongate in shape (Fig. 41). <b>Head</b>. Finely, sparsely punctate, shining, with reticulate microsculpture. Eyes absent. Antenna (Fig. 368) 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. <b>Pronotum</b>. 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. <b>Elytra</b>. 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. <b>Legs</b>. Protibia (Fig. 369) 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) in both sexes narrower than protibia; with strong spines on outer margin, apical one-half of inner margin and apically. Metatibia (Fig. 371) in both sexes slender in basal one-half, slightly swollen apically; apex with strong spines. Metafemur (Fig. 371) moderately slender in both sexes. Male protarsomeres (Fig. 369) 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. <b>Venter</b>. Mesoventrite (Fig. 375) carinate; longitudinal carina with median tooth; excavation behind transverse carina; with patches of dense white setae lateral to longitudinal carina. <b>Male genitalia</b>. Median lobe of aedeagus (Figs. 372, 373) elongate, broad, apex broadly rounded and dorsoventrally flattened. Inverted internal sac (Fig. 373) with several sclerites. Parameres (Figs. 372, 373) slender; not reaching apex of median lobe; each bearing two apical setae. <b>Spermatheca</b>. Tubular (Fig. 374), angulate near middle. <b>Etymology.</b> The name <i>setosus</i>, Latin, setose, refers to the characteristic patches of dense white setae on the mesoventrite of this species.
