Zeadolopus atratus Peck and Cook 2014, new species
No full text<i>Zeadolopus atratus</i> Peck and Cook, new species <p>Figure 39</p> <p> <b>Diagnostic description</b>. Body strongly convex. Length 1.6–2.3 mm; greatest width 1.1–1.6 mm. Dark reddish brown to black, appendages dark reddish brown; shining, with faint reticulate microsculpture. Head with moderately fine, irregularly spaced punctation. Antennal club robust. Eyes large. Pronotum finely, sparsely punctate; sides rounded, posterior angles roundly obtuse. Elytral striae weakly impressed; strial punctures coarse, dense; interstriae minutely, sparsely punctate. Flight wings fully developed. Vertical face of mesosternum broad, convex, not medially carinate. Metasternum finely, irregularly punctate medially; coarsely, densely punctate laterally. In both sexes, posterior margins of meso- and metafemur concave, not expanded; mesotibia evenly widened from base to apex, strongly spinose; metatibia narrower, strongly spinose. Pale setae of ventral face of pro- and mesotarsi more conspicuous in males. Median lobe of aedeagus (Fig. 39) broad, parallel-sided, curved dorsoventrally; paired apices with acute tips inwardly curved. Parameres moderately slender, reaching apex of median lobe, each bearing 2 apical setae. Inverted internal sac with median tube subtended apically by paired shorter rods that are recurved basally. Spermatheca of two connected spheres.</p> <p> <b>Type material</b>. Holotype, male, with the following label data: “ CUBA: Santiago Prov. / Gran Piedra, Isabelica / 7–17.XII.95, 1100m / elfin forest FITs/ S. Peck, 95-84” (SBPC). Paratypes (20) have the following label data: same data as holotype (19, SBPC); same data as holotype except: Met. Radar, 6–17.XII.95, 95-76 (1, SBPC).</p> <p> <b>Distribution</b>. Known only from Cuba.</p> <p> <b>Remarks</b>. Because of the geographic proximity of south Florida and Cuba, it might be expected that the species of the two areas might be closely related. However, comparison of <i>Z. atratus</i> n. sp. of Cuba with the species of <i>Zeadolopus</i> of south Florida (Peck and Cook 2013b) showed no close affinity.</p> <p> <b>Etymology</b>. The epithet <i>atratus</i> (Latin, dressed in black) refers to the dark coloration of this species.</p>Published as part of <i>Peck, Stewart B. & Cook, Joyce, 2014, A review of the small carrion beetles and the round fungus beetles of the West Indies (Coleoptera: Leiodidae), with descriptions of two new genera and 61 new species., pp. 1-76 in Insecta Mundi 2014 (397)</i> on pages 23-24, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5184089">10.5281/zenodo.5184089</a>
