F0470A41FFF7FFDCFD4C8DDFFEAEFF5F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Falsoceratoprion pecki is remarkably similar to F. fumagalliae; however, it can be readily separated by the terminal maxillary palpomere acuminate (see arrow in Fig. 2 A) (vs. terminal maxillary palpomere elongate and spatulate in F. fumagalliae).	en	Ferreira, Vinicius S., Ivie, Michael A.

F0470A41FFF7FFDCFD4C8DDFFEAEFF5F.taxon	description	Description. Length (head + pronotum + elytra): 3.0 – 3.2 mm. Width (across humeri): 0.6 – 0.7 mm. General coloration and setation: Thorax, sides of head and coxae, and basal half of elytra yellow, remainder of the body brown; body densely setose throughout (Figs. 1 A, B, 2 A). Head: As long as wide, widest at eyes (Fig. 1 A), posterior half covered by pronotum (Fig. 1 A); hypognathous (Fig. 1 B), frons immediately posterior to antennal insertion strongly gibbose (Fig. 1 A), concave behind eyes (Fig. 1 A). Eyes hemispherical, projecting anterolaterally, coarsely granulate (Figs. 1 A, B, 2 A). Mouthparts: Maxillary palp 4 - segmented, bearing short sparsely distributed setae throughout (Fig. 2 A); palpomere I short, half the length II; palpomere III subequal to I; terminal maxillary palpomere subequal in length to II, acuminate (Fig. 2 A); lacinia densely setose. Labial palp 3 - segmented; terminal palpomere as long as I + II combined, acuminate (Fig. 2 A). Posterior margin of clypeus clearly emarginate; labrum distinct from clypeus, transverse and freely movable, setose. Mandibles small, hooked, as long as labrum, coadapted to labrum (Fig. 2 A). Antenna: 11 - segmented, inserted on gibbous prominence at anterior portion of head, in resting position reaching apical third of elytra (Figs. 1 A, B); densely setose, dorsoventrally flattened; scape pyriform, approximate at base; antennomere 2 ca. one-fourth length of scape; antennomeres 4 – 10 subequal, slightly increasing in length towards apex; antennomeres 3 – 10 distinctly serrate, more strongly so in 6 – 10, approaching pectinate, branches of 6 – 10 increasing in size (Fig. 1 B); antennomere 11 round apically (Fig. 1 A). ThoraX: Pronotum trapezoidal, transverse, margins moderately developed (Figs. 1 A, B), posteriorly bearing weakly developed median fovea, median longitudinal carina absent (Fig. 1 A). Prosternum triangular (Fig. 2 A). Mesoventrite trapezoidal (Fig. 2 A); mesospiracle elongate, protuberant, distinctly visible (Figs. 1 B). Scutellar shield rectangular, elongate, shallowly notched apically (Fig. 1 A). Metaventrite convex, posterolateral angles moderately acute, metadiscrimen complete (Fig. 2 A); metanepisternum acuminate, crescent shaped in lateral view, anteriorly round, tapering towards apex. Elytra: Dehiscent, 3 - costate, with short, bristle-like setae throughout (Fig. 1 A); costae weakly developed, subparallel; costa I discontinued medially, costae II + III subapically fused (Fig. 1 A). Abdomen: With eight ventrites; ventrite 7 shallowly notched medially; ventrite 8 lanceolate, apically blunt, ca. 4 × longer than ventrite 7, one-third longer than tergite IX. Genitalia distinctly trilobate (Figs. 2 B, C), symmetrical. Median lobe elongate, fusiform, twice the length of parameres (Figs. 2 B, C), apically in ventral view bearing a distinct genital opening (Fig. 2 C). Parameres rounded apically; phallobase posteriorly round, median suture absent (Figs. 2 B, C).	en	Ferreira, Vinicius S., Ivie, Michael A.
