description: Pinodytes garibaldi Peck & Cook, new species   
(Figs. 37, 310, 335–342)  
 Type material. Holotype: male (OSAC). UNITED STATES. Oregon: Garibaldi, 2 mi. N., duff, rotting wood, Mar. 15, 1955, V. Roth. Paratypes (5). UNITED STATES. Oregon: with same data as holotype, 3 (OSAC); with same data except ex moss, 2 (OSAC).   
 Material examined. We have examined 6 specimens.   
 Distribution. Specimens (Fig. 310) are known only from Tillamook County, in northwestern Washington.   
 Diagnostic description. Total length 2.48–2.80 mm; greatest width 1.04–1.24 mm. Reddish brown; elongate in shape (Fig. 37). Head. Finely punctate, punctures separated by 2–4 diameters; with faint reticulate and substriate microsculpture. Eyes absent. Antenna (Fig. 335) with antennomere 3 slightly larger than 2; antennomere 5 larger than 4 and 6; antennomere 7 clearly larger than 8; antennomeres 9 and 10 lack visible sensory vesicles. Pronotum. Finely punctate, punctures separated by 2–5 diameters; a few large punctures subapically and subbasally; with reticulate microsculpture. Sides subparallel in basal one-half, narrowing apically; apical margin emarginate, basal margin straight; apical angles rounded, basal angles subrectangular. Elytra. Strial punctures moderately coarse; striae impressed in basal one-half; interstrial punctures smaller; punctures joined by fine transverse strioles forming a weak imbricate pattern. Joined elytra slightly wider than pronotum; sides subparallel in basal one-half, narrowing apically. Legs. Protibia (Fig. 336) broad at apex in male, slightly narrower in female; two curved spines at apex of outer margin; apical one-half of inner margin with fine, dense spines. Mesotibia (Fig. 337) evenly widened from base to apex; with strong spines on outer margin and apically; fine spines on apical one-half of inner margin. Metatibia (Fig. 338) slender basally, widened in apical two-fifths; apical two-fifths spinose. Metafemur (Fig. 338) slender. Male protarsomeres (Fig. 336) weakly expanded; protarsomere 1 as long as 2–4 combined; bearing elongate setae laterally and two rows of thin, broad, colorless phanerae ventrally. Mesotarsomeres without phanerae.   
 Venter. Mesoventrite (Fig. 342) carinate; longitudinal carina with a median tooth; depressed anterior to median tooth; excavation behind transverse carina. Male genitalia. Median lobe of aedeagus (Figs. 339, 340) elongate, broad, dorsoventrally curved near middle; asymmetrically, sharply declivous before short, narrow apex. Inverted internal sac (Fig. 340) with three curved spines. Parameres (Figs. 339, 340) slender, about two-thirds length of median lobe; each paramere bearing one apical and one subapical seta. Spermatheca. Tubular (Fig. 341), angulate near middle.   
 Etymology. The name garibaldi, a noun in apposition, refers to the type locality of this species.
