description: Rhinocylapus redeii sp. nov.
(Fig. 1, 2 K, 3B, 4D, 12)
Diagnosis. Recognized by the following combination of characters: dorsal surface moderately densely covered with long, semidecumbent, dark setae (Fig. 3 B); head greatly polished (Fig. 2 K); frons with transverse incision, bordering vertex; labral spines present (Fig. 3 A); incision between pronotal collar and anterior lobe distinctly marked, dark; pronotal collar covered with long, protruding setae; anterior lobe distinctly raised (Fig. 3 B); humeral angles elevated; scutellum distinctly convex (Fig. 3 B); endosoma with long sclerite, its proximal portion widened and folded, remainder of the sclerite membranous, distal portion sharply pointed (Fig. 12 A). Rh. redeii shares a convex pronotal calli and scutellum with Rh. acutangulus, but can be readily distinguished by a smaller body and by having dense, long, protruding, dark setae entirely covering the dorsal surface.
Description. Male. COLORATION (Figs. 2 K). Dorsal surface dark castaneous. Head. Clypeus slightly darker than remainder of head; antennal segment I brown, paler basally, with pale ring above base, apex dark; segment II brownish with pale, yellowish ring somewhat above medial part; segment III dark brown, slightly yellowish apically; segment IV dark brown, apical part of the segment broken in the specimen examined. Thorax. Mesoscutum and scutellum. Medial part of mesoscutum and sides of scutellum brown blackish; scutellum dark brown medially, apex yellow. Thoracic pleura. Proepimeron dark brown, slightly darker than posterior lobe of pronotum; mesepimeron and metepisternum dark grayish; scent-gland evaporatory areas paler than metepisternum. Hemelytron. Apex of clavus and corium near apex of clavus with small, yellowish spot; cuneus with inner angle yellowish. Legs. Brown, slightly tinged with red; procoxa pale, yellowish basally, then dark, brownish red; meso- and metacoxa pale yellow; trochanter of foreleg brownish red, trochanter of meso- and metaleg brown; femur brownish red, slightly paler, yellowish apically; tibiae dark brown blackish except of extreme, yellow brownish apices; foretibia entirely dark; tarsus dark yellowish. Abdomen. Dark brown. STRUCTURE AND VESTITURE (Figs. 1, 2 K, 3B, 4D). Dorsal surface mixed with relatively dense, erect and semidecumbent, dark setae. Head. Heavily polished, mixed with long, erect, and semidecumbent, relatively dense setae; frons with indistinct, transverse incision medially (well visible in lateral view); clypeus sparsely covered with decumbent and erect setae; labrum with two pairs of thick, protruding, relatively long setae; buccula covered with fine, pale setae; gula covered with decumbent setae, slightly punctate behind eye and between antenniferous tubercle and margin of eye; antennal segment II covered with relatively long, sparse, semidecumbent, dark setae, pale on yellowish ring, inner surface covered with very dense, minute, erect, apically curved setae; segment III sparsely covered with semidecumbent setae basally, remainder of the segment covered with setae denser than those basally; segment IV covered with dense, semidecumbent setae; rostrum long, reaching slightly beyond genital capsule. Thorax. Pronotal collar matte, covered with dense, long, protruding, dark setae; anterior lobe impunctate; pronotal calli covered with relatively dense, dark setae, strongly polished, greatly convex, with distinct, thin, and shallow longitudinal sulcus; posterior lobe covered with relatively dense, long, dark setae, irregularly covered with dense and deep punctation. Mesoscutum and scutellum. Mesoscutum somewhat shining, slightly rugose on sides; scutellum strongly convex medially, flattened apically, covered with long, protruding, relatively dense, dark setae. Thoracic pleura. Proepimeron impunctate anteriorly. Hemelytron. Cuneus covered with moderately dense setae. Legs. Forecoxa more shining than meso- and metacoxa, without setae; meso- and metacoxa matte, covered with semidecumbent setae; femur covered with very long, erect and semidecumbent setae; tibia shining basally, here covered with sparse setae, remainder of tibiae more matte, covered with dense, protruding setae, these becoming semidecumbent apically; pretarsal claw not toothed subapically.
Male genitalia (Fig. 12). Right paramere: margins of paramere nearly parallel; paramere body with bundle of several, relatively short setae; apical process rounded; left paramere: extreme apex of apical process with process relatively long; endosoma with long sclerite, its proximal portion widened and folded, remainder of sclerite membranous, distal portion sharply pointed.
Female. Unknown.
