Surface of pronotum: irregular, moderately convex; disrupted by moderately deep, transverse depression dominating pronotal disc; and to each side of disc with broad pair of wide, arced calli (these not well delimited), the anterior one almost evanescent, the posterior one rounded behind (and sufficiently tumid to overhang sides of pronotum and basal constriction); pronotal disc further disrupted by irregular shaped swelling between tumid, posterior calli; apical constriction almost absent; basal constriction narrow, strongly abrupt towards sides, and not fossate. Prosternum flat to apical border, at midline planar with its process process; the latter not at all arced, laminate in male (17 times narrower than width of procoxal cavity), sublaminate in female (9 times narrower than width of procoxal cavity). Apex of prosternal process small and golf-tee shaped. Procoxal cavity broadly plugged laterally; widely open behind, the gap between apex of post coxal process and apex of prosternal process 0.30 mm in male, 0.25 in female. Scutellum: small, scutate (but dense pubescence hiding details). Elytra: short and cuneate; 1.40 longer than width across humeri in male, 1.32 longer in female; sides weakly arced; apices hardly divergent (but elytra well separated by moderately strongly gape for slightly more than apical third), reaching apex of metacoxae; humeri not hiding mesepimera, broad and prominent, but only weakly projecting (more strongly in female). Each elytron gradually and strongly narrowed to rounded, unarmed apex (the latter somewhat lobate in appearance); on middle half with cleaver-shaped translucent panel (in E. scoparia), or fusiform-shaped panel (in E. rufiventris); surface surrounding translucent panel irregular, slightly raised adjacent to, and posterior to scutellum. Translucent panel depressed towards apex, and abruptly separated from side of elytron by short, well-defined carina (which may represent remnants of the humero-apical costa); and at apex reaching sutural border. Mesosternum: flat at center; deeply, but well inclined (with about 60º slope) to mesosternal process. Base of mesosternal process nearly flat, and moderately wide (coxal cavity 1.44 wider than base of process in male, 1.29 wider in female); apex of process lanceolate, deeply excavate and abruptly depressed, the sides pointed and weakly diverging. Mesocoxal cavity: moderately open to mesepimerum. Lengths of mesosternum/metasternum 0.87-0.92. Metathorax: wide, in male body length/width metathorax 3.59, in female 3.77-4.00; sides rounded from base to middle of hind margin; metasternum moderately tumid, and weakly flattened for apical half in male (more so in most females), its surface level with mesocoxae; metepisternum widest at base, distinctly tapering to subacuminate apex. Abdomen in male: convex, narrow, weakly annulated, and almost cylindrical (widest at base, weakly tapering to apex); urosternites moderately transverse; II- IV subequal in length. Urosternite I: widest, almost quadrate (with rather rounded sides); II: weakly trapezoidal (with straight converging sides); III and IV: cylindrical (with weakly rounded sides). Urosternite V: trapezoidal (with rounded sides and broadly emarginate apex), surface weakly differentiated (soleate depression limited to a slightly depressed U-shaped area occupying apical half); sides of apex moderately winged, but rounded at apex (when viewed laterally). Abdominal process a narrow isosceles triangle, well inclined to abdomen (slope about 60 o). Abdomen in female wider; flatter, widest at base, tapering to apex (in E. scoparia), more convex, fusiform, widest towards middle (in E. rufiventris); weakly annulated; urosternites transverse; I-IV sequentially shorter towards apex of abdomen; urosternite I: broadly conical and convex (with rounded sides); II and III cylindrical (with sub-parallel, almost straight sides), IV trapezoidal (with rounded sides). Urosternite V subconical, slightly longer than IV, weakly constricted and down-turned for apical third; apical margin truncate. Abdominal process a broad equilateral triangle, almost planar with abdomen. Legs (in E. scoparia, unless otherwise noted): in both sexes ratio lengths front/middle/hind leg 1.0:1.1-1.2:2.3. Front and middle legs rather short, body length/length of legs 2.8-3.0 and 2.5-2.6 respectively. Front leg: femur slightly shorter than tibia, length femur/tibia 0.94- 0.97; tibia robust; rather wide (including base), gradually widening to apex; when viewed dorsally apical margin oblique (not lanceolate); apico-lateral angle dentate. Middle leg: femur moderately long, 1.28-1.33 longer than length of tibia; femoral clave robust (but not at all tumid when viewed from above), in both sexes length of femur/lateral width of femoral clave 2.50-2.59 (the clave wider in female); tibia rather robust and almost parallel-sided to apex. Hind leg: robust, body length/length of leg in both sexes 1.3; femur strongly pedunculate-clavate; relatively short, apex reaching apical third of urosternite III in male, in female reaching base of IV (in E. scoparia), or apex of IV (in E. rufiventris); femoral clave subcylindrical, not much longer than peduncle, the latter not flattened (in E. rufiventris), or clave characteristic, strongly fusiform with well rounded sides (especially viewed from the side); 2.83-2.90 longer than peduncle, the latter moderately narrow and flattened (in E. scoparia). Metatibiae robust; with moderately large brushes (in E. scoparia), large brushes (in E. rufiventris); brushes not centered on slight swellings of tibial surface. When viewed dorsally tibia somewhat bisinuate; apex bifurcate, with long spur mesally, shorter one laterally. When viewed laterally tibia slightly curved and bisinuate, uniformly wide to pre-apex; at apex abruptly widened, with both mesal and lateral surfaces produced into short, spatula-like extension. Metatarsus robust, but distinctly narrower than apex of metatibia; tarsomere I subclylindrical (in male more strongly widened at apex); II hardly pediculate, almost quadrate and trapezoidal; III slightly longer than II, the lobes divergent, moderately wide, rounded at sides (less so in female); in male first tarsomere 0.93 length of II+III, in female 1.06 longer than II+III.</p> <p>Genitalia (Fig. 49). In E. scoparia markedly different from other epimelittids. Median lobe of aedeagus: moderately long (about 2.4 mm), slender, modestly arced,with acuminate apex; and small dark bodies present. Tegmen: apical part slightly longer than basal part. Apical part divided into two finger-shaped lobes, these moderately divergent, and long (length/width 4.0); each lobe almost straight, at apex hardly wider, asymmetrical and subacuminate. Y-piece long and broad, the stem shorter than the fork.</p> <p>General pubescence. Less amplified. Notable pubescence (dense tufts of long, suberect, rufous-orange or black setae) present on upperside of body and elytra, the setae predominantly rufous (in E. scoparia), or black or grey hair (in E. rufiventris) as follows: sides and transverse depression of pronotum; oblique patch on basal half of elytra (especially well developed in female E. scoparia). Notable pubescence on underside of body as follows: below inferior lobes of eyes; towards sides on apical margin of prosternum; covering all of metasternum and most of metepisternum; but abdomen lacking dense tufts. Less notable pubescence consisting of whitish, recumbent hairs across base of metasternum (especially dense in male); on urosternite I (and usually II) of abdomen entire side and hind margins clothed with grey (in female) or creamy yellow (in male) pubescence. Notable pubescence on legs as follows (especially notable in female): ventral surface of profemoral clave (dense, long tufts); mesofemoral clave (single tuft on ventral and mesal surfaces); metafemoral clave near middle of dorsal surface (in E. scoparia), and towards apex of ventral surface (in both species). Metatibia with large, untidy brushes, the setae rather short, and somewhat spirally arranged between dorsal and ventral surfaces (in E. scoparia), or the setae longer and rather uniformly distributed on dorsal and ventral surfaces (in E. rufiventris); color of brushes black and rufous in male, almost entirely rufous in female (in E. scoparia), or grey (in E. rufiventris). Lateral surface of metafemoral claves with small, white patch of recumbent hairs in male; in female the patch more extensive, but greyer and sparser.</p> <p>General puncturation. Upperside: generally very dense, rather small, and alveolate or subalveolate. On pronotum punctures of transverse depression not smaller than those on rest of surface, and smooth areas of surface absent (in E. scoparia), or smooth areas present (in E. rufiventris). On elytra smooth, impunctate areas restricted to translucent panels (these not invaded by denser punctures), the panels almost impunctate (in E. scoparia), or with rather sparse, large punctures (in E. rufiventris). Underside puncturation: mirrors the state of its pubescence; the punctures generally dense and small; simple and deeper (on prosternum); microscopic (on mesosternum), shallow and beveled (on metasternum). On abdomen punctures small shallow and somewhat beveled; rather sparse, especially towards sides and apex (in E. scoparia), or more uniform and denser (in E. rufiventris).</p> <p>Species included in this genus.

Head: comparatively narrow (widths prothorax/head with eyes 1.11- 1.26 in male, 1.23-1.42 in female); rostrum shortest in male Exepimelitta nigerrima (width/length 3.67), longest in female E. windsori sp. nov. (width/length 2.45). Labrum transverse, about two times wider than long and rounded laterally. Apex of clypeus hardly wider than labrum, its base separated from frons by moderate declivity (more so in male than female). Apical palpomeres of maxilla and labium short (longer in E. nigerrima), subcylindrical, truncate at apex. Galea long and narrow. Inferior lobes of eyes subcontiguous in male, least so in E. lestradei, width of one lobe/interocular distance 3.34-5.33, in female far apart 1.00-1.15; strongly convex (in male of E. consobrina and E. nigerrima), or less convex (in male of E. lestradei, E. mimica and E. windsori, and all females). Superior lobes of eyes almost parallel-sided, with 9-11 rows of moderately large ommatidia; laterally narrowed by one half of their mesal width; and in male separated by 2.25-2.86 the width of one lobe, in female 3.50-4.33. Antennal tubercles weakly raised, rounded at apex, in male separated by 2.40-3.00 width of scape, in female 3.00-3.60 width of scape. Antennae: robust (more so in female); short, apex in male reaching from base to middle of metacoxae (in E. windsori just passing metacoxae), in female usually slightly shorter. Scape subpyriform (in E. nigerrima), or subcylindrical (in the remaining species), and narrow (width 0.2-0.3 mm); antennomeres III filiform; IV subfiliform; V elongate, and subserrate (hardly so in E. windsori, almost serrate in E. mimica); VI-X serrate and incrementally more quadrate. Antennomere III short, 0.93 length scape (in male E. lestradei and female E. nigerrima), or as long as scape (in male E. nigerrima and female E. lestradei), or 1.06-1.08 longer than scape (in E. mimica and E. windsori); about 1.5 longer than IV (in both sexes of E. lestradei and E. windsori), or about twice as long as IV (in the remaining species); V-VII, or V-VIII (in some species) subequal, and usually longer than IX-X; XI ovate (in both sexes of most species), or more elongate and less rounded (in male E. windsori); with moderately long to very small apical cone, and nearly always longer than VIII-X. Prothorax: distinctly transverse, in male length/width 0.80-0.85, strongly transverse in female 0.73-0.81; in male somewhat trapezoidal, the sides contracted and almost straight from widest point to apical margin; in female obovate, the sides well-rounded, strongly so towards base; usually widest well behind middle in male (prothoracic quotient 1.68-1.94), in female widest near middle (prothoracic quotient 1.91-2.14). Basal margin of prothorax strongly rounded and juxtaposed between elytral humeri; its width equal to width of apex, or slightly narrower (widths apex/base 0.95-0.97). Surface of pronotum irregular, moderately convex (slightly more so in female); disrupted by moderately deep, transverse depression dominating pronotal disc; and to each side of disc with broad pair of wide, arced calli (these not well delimited in all species), a smaller anterior one closer to midline on apical third (almost evanescent in smaller specimens), a large posterior one more prominent, and rounded behind (and sufficiently tumid to overhang sides of pronotum and basal constriction). Pronotal disc further disrupted by smooth callosities at midline (sometimes absent), as follows: narrow callosity adjacent to apical margin; and an irregularly shaped swelling between the tumid, posterior calli. Apical constriction usually weak or absent; basal constriction strongly abrupt towards sides, and not fossate. Prosternum: flat to apical border, at midline usually planar with its process; but base of latter somewhat raised in E. nigerrima, or below level of prosternum in female E. mimica; not at all arced, sublaminate, either narrow, 10-14 times narrower than width of procoxal cavity (in E. windsori and E. mimica), or 6-9 times narrower than width of procoxal cavity (in the remaining species). Apex of prosternal process small and golf-tee shaped. Procoxal cavity rather broadly plugged laterally; moderately widely open behind, the gap between apex of post coxal process and apex of prosternal process 0.2-0.3 mm. Scutellum: rather small, scutate, or trapezoidal (in E. nigerrima) but pubescence usually hiding details. Elytra: short and cuneate; irrespective of sex 1.20-1.40 longer than width across humeri; sides weakly arced; apices hardly divergent (but elytra well separated by moderately strongly gape for slightly more than apical third); apex reaching apex of metacoxae, or just passing its apex in some specimens. Each elytron gradually and strongly narrowed to blunt, unarmed apex (the latter somewhat lobate in appearance); on basal twothirds (or less) with rather narrow, irregular translucent panel of variable size (its shape and size depending upon the extent of encroaching dense puncturation); but cleaver-shaped in E. lestradei. Surface surrounding translucent panel irregular, usually raised adjacent to scutellum; and at humeri hiding mesepimera; humeri usually rounded, yet strongly projecting, and towards sides somewhat abruptly depressed (to leave them narrow and prominent); towards apex translucent panel depressed, and abruptly separated from side of elytron by short, well defined carina (which may represent remnants of the humeroapical costa); and at apex separated from sutural border by dense puncturation. Mesosternum: at center hardly more prominent than sides; mesosternal declivity deep and abrupt (in E. consobrina, E. lestradei and female E. windsori), not as deep and well inclined, about 60º slope (in E. nigerrima, E. mimica and male E. windsori). Mesocoxal cavity: hardly wider than base of mesosternal process (in E. consobrina and E. nigerrima), or 1.3-1.6 wider than base of process (in the remaining species). Base of mesosternal process nearly flat or with moderately raised sides; apex lanceolate or nearly so, or subcordiform (in E. mimica), sides diverging and acuminate at apex (bluntly to sharply pointed), apical margin somewhat projecting, and abruptly depressed. Mesoxal cavity rather narrowly, to moderately widely open to mesepimerum. Lengths of mesosternum/metasternum 0.85-0.92. Metathorax: wide, usually wider in male (but see E. windsori), body length/width metathorax 3.46-3.87, in female 3.65-4.03; sides rounded from base to middle of hind margin; metasternum moderately tumid, and weakly flattened for apical half in male (more flattened in most females), its surface more or less level with mesocoxae. Metepisternum widest at base, strongly tapering to subacuminate apex. Abdomen in male: cylindrical; almost parallel-sided; somewhat flattened; weakly annulated; rather wide (widest near apex of urosternite II in E. consobrina and E. windsori), or apex of III (in E. mimica and E. nigerrima); urosternites II-IV strongly transverse; I-IV sequentially shorter towards apex of abdomen, or II and III equal in length. Urosternite V subtrapezoidal; surface weakly differentiated, with flat, U or V-shaped area often demarcated by slightly raised sides; apical margin broadly emarginate, or hardly so (in E. lestradei and E. mimica) between acutely pointed sides (in most species); when viewed laterally urosternite V winged, with somewhat acute apical angles, or rounded apical angles (in E. consobrina). Abdominal process a rather narrow isosceles triangle, moderately to rather strongly inclined to abdomen (slope about 30-75º). Abdomen in female: characteristically broad and ovate; flattened; weakly annulated; widest near base of urosternite II (in E. mimica) or near apex of II (in the remaining species); urosternite I subconical; II-IV strongly transverse (III about three times wider than long); I-IV sequentially shorter towards apex of abdomen. Urosternite V trapezoidal; surface undifferentiated; sides weakly constricted across apical half, the latter moderately down-turned; apical margin weakly rounded, and sometimes minutely angled at sides. Abdominal process large, broad and blunt; almost planar with abdomen. Legs: in both sexes ratio lengths front/middle/hind leg 1.0:1.1-1.2:2.3-2.5. Front and middle legs: body length/length of legs 2.3-3.0 and 2.1-2.5 respectively. Front leg: femur about as long as tibia (in most species), or 1.15-1.21 longer (in E. consobrina and E. nigerrima); tibia moderately robust; narrow at base, rather abruptly widening and almost parallel-sided to apex; when viewed dorsally apical margin oblique, somewhat lanceolate; apico-lateral angle dentate. Middle leg: femur moderately long (longest in male), 1.35-1.50 longer than length of tibia; femoral clave robust (but hardly tumid when viewed from above), in both sexes length of femur/lateral width of femoral clave 2.54-2.90 (the clave wider in male); tibia rather robust and almost parallel-sided to apex (in most species), or less robust and gradually widening to apex (in E. lestradei and E. windsori). Hind leg: robust, body length/length of leg in both sexes 1.0-1.3; femur strongly pedunculate-clavate; clave characteristic, when viewed laterally sides almost parallel-sided for middle half, and tumid (when viewed from above), or hardly tumid (in E. windsori); femoral apex reaching from middle of urosternite IV to near apex of V; clave long; peduncle short, moderately narrow, and usually flattened (length clave/peduncle 2.40-3.16). Metatibiae robust and uniformly wide to preapex; with large brushes, these emanating from slight swellings of tibial surface; (less obviously in E. lestradei and E. windsori). When viewed dorsally tibia almost straight (in E. lestradei, E. windsori and female E. mimica), or somewhat bisinuate (in both sexes of E. consobrina and E. nigerrima, and in male E. mimica); apex bifurcate, with long spur on mesal side. When viewed laterally tibia slightly curved and bisinuate (in both sexes of most species), or straight and bisinuate (in E. mimica); preapex with distinct spur; apex abruptly widened, both mesal and lateral surfaces produced into short, spatula-like extension, laterally this extension with truncate apical margin (in E. consobrina and E. nigerrima), or rounded apical margin (in E. lestradei, E. windsori and E. mimica). Metatarsus rather robust, but distinctly narrower than apex of metatibia; tarsomere I cylindrical; II not pediculate, almost quadrate; III as long as or slightly longer than II, the lobes narrow, rounded at sides, and weakly divergent. In both sexes: first tarsomere 0.89-0.93 length of II+III.</p> <p>Genitalia. The description of the genitalia is based on two species, Exepimelitta nigerrima (Fig. 50) and E. windsori (Fig 51). Median lobe of aedeagus: moderately short (about 1.8 mm), slender, modestly arced, with acuminate apex; and small dark bodies present. Tegmen: similar to species of Charisia; markedly different from Epimelitta. Apical part long, basal part shorter and broader. Apical part divided into two finger-shaped lobes, these moderately divergent, and long (length/width 3.2-3.7). Each lobe with moderately curved lateral and mesal margins, at apex hardly wider, slightly asymmetrical and subacuminate. Y-piece long and narrow, the stem about as long as the fork.</p> <p>General pubescence. Pubescence greatly amplified in both sexes; the setae black or chestnut. Notable pubescence (very dense tufts of long, suberect setae) present on upperside of body and elytra as follows: sides and transverse depression of pronotum; arced patch on basal half of elytra (especially well developed in female). Notable pubescence on underside of body as follows: below inferior lobes of eyes (less notable in Exepimelitta windsori); towards sides on apical margin of prosternum; between mesocoxae and hind margin of metasternum; covering most of metepisternum; towards sides of urosternites II-IV (in most species), or only sides of II and III (in E. windsori, and E. lestradei with those on III reduced). Less notable pubescence consisting of whitish, recumbent hairs on meso- and metasterna (at least in male); on urosternite I of abdomen narrow arced fascia laterally (in E. consobrina, E. lestradei, E. nigerrima and E. windsori), or lateral fascia replaced with scattered flecks (in female E. mimica), or entirely absent (in male E. mimica); and hind margin of urosternite I with narrow fascia medially (in female E. lestradei). Notable pubescence on legs as follows: ventral surface of profemoral clave (very dense, long tufts); mesofemoral clave; metafemoral clave (near middle of dorsal surface and towards apex of ventral surface). Metatibia with large, untidy brushes (their arrangement differing interspecifically, and sometimes between the sexes, sometimes spirally arranged, sometimes not, sometimes covering most of the tibial surface, or shorter on one side than the other, or each brush may be interrupted in the middle, or not); and the color of the brushes variable (some bicolored, others not, some sexually dichromatic, others not); and the variation would seem to be too much to be a useful taxonomic tool (but see key to the species, where it is used to separate E. consobrina from E. nigerrima). All species with oblique, small, white patch of recumbent hairs towards the apex of metafemoral claves, on both mesal and lateral surfaces.</p> <p>General puncturation. Upperside (including elytra): generally very dense, rather small, and alveolate or subalveolate. On pronotum: almost micropunctate in transverse depression; and very small areas of surface usually smooth and impunctate on posterior calli and towards distal margins of midline (in Exepimelitta mimica and E. nigerrima), or smooth impunctate areas absent (in E. lestradei and E. windsori). On elytra: smooth, relatively impunctate areas restricted to apex, or mesal half of translucent panels, elsewhere invaded by small dense punctures, or larger, sparser punctures (in E. nigerrima). Underside puncturation mirrors the state of its pubescence: the punctures generally very dense and small; simple and deeper (on prosternum); microscopic (on mesosternum), shallow and beveled (on metasternum). On abdomen: punctures shallow and usually somewhat beveled, small (larger in E. lestradei); and dense (less so towards sides and apex), or relatively sparse (in female in E. nigerrima).</p> <p>Species included in this genus.

Rather slender, moderately small (total length 10.4 mm) and broad (total length/width metasterna 4.33). Forebody (f): slightly longer than abdomen (a), f/a 1.05. Color: tegument almost entirely shining black; with rufous infusion (rufous darkening to chestnut with ageing) on the following: apical margin of clypeus; antennal scape; apical third of elytra; hind margins of urosternites (and more extensively on IV and V); mesal surface of metafemora; tibiae and tarsi (especially of front leg, less so on hind leg). The following entirely paler: mouthparts (pale chestnut); antennomeres (brownish); apex of elytra’s translucent panels (semi-vitreous); and onychium of hind leg (pale chestnut). Surface ornamentation: amplified, but setae may be somewhat shorter, and black or sepia in color; and on metatibia brushes brown, and their arrangement as follows: not untidy; on basal third rather sparser dorsally, and long (especially mesally), with a row of short tufts ventrally, on apical twothirds dense and tufted, more so laterally (but this brush interrupted at middle). The less notable, recumbent pubescence with silver color; with presence of dense patch ventrally at apex of metatibia. Puncturation: the following noteworthy: translucent panels of elytra only smooth at apex, the rest very densely punctured; on abdomen very small, almost contiguous, becoming less dense laterally, and absent from broad apical margins of each urosternite. Structure: head comparatively narrow (widths prothorax/head with eyes 1.26); rostrum rather long (width/length 2.75). Inferior lobes of eyes moderately contiguous, width of one lobe/interocular distance 4.67. Superior lobes of eyes separated by 2.86 the width of one lobe. Antennal tubercles separated by 2.40 width of scape. Antennae: comparatively long. Antennomere III short (0.7 mm), 1.07 longer than scape; 1.55 longer than IV; V and VI (0.50 mm); VII and VIII (0.45 mm); IX (0.40 mm); X (0.35 mm); XI (0.50 mm) with moderately long apical cone. Prothorax: length/width 0.85; sides slightly sinuate from widest point to apical margin (apical constriction weak); widest well behind middle (prothoracic quotient 1.74); apical and basal margins equal in width (1.55 mm); pair of arced calli well delimited; but small anterior callosities adjacent to midline weakly defined. Prosternum: base of prosternal process narrow, 14 times narrower than width of procoxal cavity; the gap between apex of post coxal process and apex of prosternal process 0.2 mm. Elytra: rather narrow and long; 1.40 longer than width across humeri; translucent panels almost obliterated by dense puncturation (reduced to a small area at apex); surface posterior to scutellum not raised; apices almost truncate. Mesosternum: mesosternal process comparatively narrow (coxal cavity 1.63 wider than base of process); base of mesosternal process with moderately raised sides; apex of process sublanceolate, hardly excavate, and lateral angles rather pointed. Mesocoxal cavity moderately widely open to mesepimerum. Lengths of mesosternum/metasternum 0.86. Abdomen: urosternite I distinctly longer than II-IV; Urosternites II and III equally long (1.00 mm) and wide (1.85 mm), almost parallel-sided, only slightly wider than base of IV, the latter rather strongly contracted to apex. V slightly shorter (0.60 mm) than IV (0.70 mm), apical margin broadly excavate, lateral angles formed by ill-defined ridge running from sides of disc to apex of angles, leaving the latter characteristically prominent and projecting (when viewed from directly above), but the sides only slightly “winged” (when viewed from the side). Abdominal process moderately inclined to abdomen (slope about 30º). Legs: ratio lengths front/middle/hind leg 1.0:1.2:2.3. Front and middle legs rather long: body length/length of legs 2.8 and 2.4 respectively. Front leg: femur 1.07 longer than tibia; tibia hardly robust; and apical margin weakly oblique. Middle leg: femur 1.46 longer than length of tibia; length of femur/lateral width of femoral clave 2.73. Hind leg: robust, body length/length of leg in both sexes 1.2; femur 1.10 longer than tibia; femoral apex reaching apical third of urosternite IV; length clave/peduncle 2.94. First metatarsomere 0.93 longer than II+III; II and III equal in length (0.35 mm).</p> <p>Male variation. Color and surface ornamentation of paratypes show little variation; but tibiae and tarsi almost black in some of them, and antennae and metatibial brushes duskier in few. Structural differences limited to minor ones, as follows: in smaller paratypes apical antennal segments less serrate; inferior lobes of eyes less convex in two paratypes; pronotal disc flatter in three; apices of elytra less truncate in some paratypes, and in one subacuminate.</p> <p>Description of female (Fig. 20). Larger than male and more robust (total length/width metasterna 3.53). Forebody (f): distinctly longer than abdomen (a), f/a 1.21. Head: comparatively narrow (widths prothorax/head with eyes 1.36). Rostrum: slightly longer (width/length 2.45). Inferior lobes of eyes: widely separated (width of one lobe/interocular distance 1.00). Superior lobes of eyes: separated by 2.5 times the width of one lobe. Antennae: reach apex of metacoxae. Prothorax: length/width 0.78, widest near middle (prothoracic quotient 1.95). Prosternum: not depressed across middle; base of process slightly wider than in male (coxal cavity about ten times wider than base of process); apex of process with bisinuate apical margin (giving it a slightly bilobed appearance). Elytra: broad (length/width across humeri 1.26), almost hiding mesepimerum; gape wider than in male. Mesosternum: mesosternal declivity moderately deep and more abrupt than in male; coxal cavity 1.45 wider than width of mesosternal process. Abdomen: with abdominal process very large and wide, much larger than found in any other genus of Rhinotragini among the many that have been examined. Legs: similar to male, the following noteworthy: mesofemora longer, but wider (when viewed laterally) than in male; hind leg longer, 2.5 longer than front leg, apex of femur reaching middle of urosternite V; metatarsus longer, but tarsal formula the same. Surface ornamentation: very similar to male, but frons less densely punctured, these simple and deeper; metasternal pubescence much reduced, and punctures rather sparse and beveled.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Exepimelitta windsori sp. nov. is close to Exepimelitta lestradei; but can be separated by the following characters: in E. windsori elytra gape from middle; translucent panels shorter and narrower, not cleaver-shaped, almost obliterated by dense puncturation, impunctate surface reduced to small area at apex (in E. lestradei elytra gape from apical third; translucent panels longer and broader, cleavershaped, less densely punctured, impunctate area more extensive); in female of E. windsori abdomen more ovate, and urosternite V trapezoidal; and in both sexes tufts of setae on urosternite III well developed (in female E. lestradei abdomen somewhat conical, and urosternite V subconical; and in both sexes tufts on urosternite III reduced); in male of E. windsori metatibial brushes black in color (in male E. lestradei brushes are yellow).</p> <p>Both species may be separated from other species of the genus by the abdominal tufts: in E. lestradei and E. windsori only found towards sides of urosternites II and III (in the remaining species these tufts are present on urosternites II-IV).</p> <p>Measurements (mm) 20 males / 3 females: total length, 8.00-11.25/10.60-11.90; length of pronotum, 1.50- 1.95/1.95-2.00; width of pronotum, 1.75-2.25/2.45-2.55; length of elytra, 2.65-3.00/3.35-3.40; width at humeri, 1.95-2.40/2.65-2.70.</p> <p>Type material.

In male inferior lobes of eyes convex, almost contiguous to moderately far apart, width of one lobe/interocular distance 6.0-7.0 (in C. durantoni and C. mneme), 4.20 (in C. bleuzeni and C. melanaria); in female weakly convex and further apart, width of one lobe/interocular distance 1.2-1.3 (in C. bleuzeni, C. euphrosyne and C. melanaria), about 1.7 (in C. durantoni and C. mneme). Superior lobes of eyes (based on few specimens, as usually hidden) subparallel-sided, with 9-15 rows of moderately large ommatidia; laterally narrowed by about half their mesal width (in most species, including male C. melanaria), or narrowed by two-thirds their mesal width (in female C. melanaria); and separated by 2.3-2.8 the width of one lobe in male, in female 2.7-3.0. Antennal tubercles weakly raised (especially in female), rounded at apex and separated by 2.6-3.3 width of scape. Antennae: moderately robust (slightly more so in male), subcrassate, with most segments elongate, and apical ones narrow at base (in most species), or robust, crassate, with only basal antennomeres elongate, and apical ones hardly narrower at base (in C. melanaria); short to relatively long (without apparent sexual differences); apex reaching from middle of metepisternum to middle of metacoxae, or just passing metacoxae (in C. mneme); scape usually subcylindrical, but somewhat pyriform (in C. melanaria); and moderately narrow (width 0.25-0.35 mm); antennomeres V-X (in C. durantoni), or VI-X (in most species) serrate, or subserrate (in C. melanaria). Antennomere III very short to short, 0.67-0.93 length of scape (shortest in female C. durantoni, longest in male C. mneme), 1.1-1.25 longer than IV-IX (in female C. durantoni), or about 1.1-1.6 longer than IV-IX (in most species), or 1.6-1.8 longer than IV-IX (in male C. melanaria); IV slightly shorter than V (in female C. euphrosyne, male C. melanaria and both sexes of C. mneme), or equal to V (in females of C. durantoni and C. melanaria); V- IX nearly subequal; but VIII and IX nearly always shorter than V-VII; X nearly always shorter than IX. Antennomere XI ovate, or somewhat elongate (in female of C. euphrosyne and C. mneme, and both sexes of C. bleuzeni) with moderately small apical cone (in females of C. durantoni and C. euphrosyne), or rather large apical cone (in both sexes of C. bleuzeni, C. melanaria and C. mneme), as long as IV, or slightly longer (in female C. melanaria). Prothorax: variable in shape (but without marked sexual differences); strongly transverse, length/width 0.80 (in female C. durantoni), or less strongly transverse, length/width 0.85-0.97 (in most species); obovate and strongly convex (in C. bleuzeni and C. melanaria); somewhat trapezoidal with rounded hind angles, and less convex (in female C. euphrosyne); more cylindrical with weakly rounded sides (in C. mneme); and more rectangular with weakly rounded sides, and flatter on disc (in C. durantoni); in male widest in front of middle, prothoracic quotient in male 2.12-2.35; in female variable: in front of middle, prothoracic quotient 2.25 (in C. melanaria), or at middle, prothoracic quotient about 2.1 (in C. bleuzeni and C. euphrosyne), or behind middle, prothoracic quotient 1.71- 1.85 (in C. durantoni and C. mneme respectively); width of basal and apical margins of prothorax subequal (widths apex/base 0.91-1.05); basal margin moderately rounded and somewhat juxtaposed between elytral humeri. Pronotal surface only moderately irregular, with weakly raised pair of wide calli to either side of disc (the anterior one evanescent in some species, the posterior one tumid in C. bleuzeni and C. durantoni), even so calli do not overhang profile of sides in any of the species; disc lacking callosities at midline. Apical constriction weak or absent; basal constriction strongly abrupt towards sides, and not fossate. Prosternum: flat, its surface often below level of prosternal process; the latter weakly arced (in C. durantoni), or not at all arced (in the remaining species); base of process wide, 4 times narrower than width of procoxal cavity (in C. euphrosyne), or 6-10 times narrower than width of procoxal cavity (in most species). Apex of prosternal process small and short; variable in shape: somewhat triangular (in most species), trapezoidal (in female C. melanaria), bilobed (in C. bleuzeni and male C. melanaria). Procoxal cavity rather broadly plugged laterally; behind narrowly open, the gap between apex of post coxal process and apex of prosternal process 0.1 mm (in most females), or the gap 0.15 mm (in male C. mneme), or the gap wide, 0.40 mm (in both sexes of C. bleuzeni and C. melanaria). Scutellum: small, trapezoidal; sparsely pubescent, or with dense, recumbent, brassy pubescence (in C. euphrosyne). Elytra: cuneate; and, irrespective of sex, 1.14-1.22 longer than width across humeri (in most species, or maybe shorter in C. bleuzeni), or 1.31-1.35 (in C. mneme); apex nearly reaching to middle, or just passing metacoxae; laterally weakly arced (in most species), or not at all arced (in C. melanaria), and hardly divergent apically; but strongly gaping for apical half (in C. bleuzeni, C. euphrosyne and C. melanaria), or for slightly more than apical third (in C. durantoni and C. mneme). Humeri hiding mesepimera; rounded, projecting and prominent. Each elytron gradually and strongly narrowed to rounded, unarmed apex. Without distinct translucent panel (in C. melanaria); or with distinct translucent panel (in most species), these depressed (abruptly so towards apex) and variable in size, rather broad towards apex, reaching sutural margin (in C. durantoni), or separated from sutural margin by narrow band of dense punctures (in the remaining species). Surface surrounding translucent panel irregular: raised adjacent to, and posterior to scutellum, and at sides (somewhat abruptly at humeri, to leave these narrow and prominent); towards apex (the panels separated from the sides by a short, well defined carina, which may represent remnants of the humero-apical costa); and at apex (giving the elytra a lobe-like appearance). Mesosternum: at center hardly more prominent than sides; mesosternal declivity deep and abrupt (in both sexes of C. durantoni, in male C. bleuzeni and females of C. euphrosyne and C. mneme), or subabrupt (in females of C. bleuzeni and C. melanaria, and male C. mneme), or deep and well inclined, about 60º slope (in male C. melanaria). Base of process nearly flat; coxal cavity 1.00-1.20 wider than base of process (in female), or 1.38 wider than base of process (in male); apex of process V-shaped (in male C. mneme), or hardly excavate (in the remaining species), the sides weakly diverging, and sharply pointed (in most species), or the sides weakly bilobed (in C. euphrosyne). Mesocoxal cavity moderately widely open to mesepimerum. Lengths of mesosternum/metasternum 0.76-0.85. Metathorax: wide, usually relatively wider in male, body length/width metasternum 3.82-4.32, in female 4.24-4.67; sides usually weakly rounded, leaving apical margin of metasternum weakly oblique (in most species); metasternum tumid, and somewhat flattened for apical half (more so in most female), its surface more prominent than mesocoxae. Metepisternum widest at base, distinctly tapering to subacuminate apex. Abdomen: moderately robust, rather narrow (in male C. bleuzeni), or wide (in most species), and weakly annulated; in male almost cylindrical and convex; in female slightly flattened and general shape variable: either conical, with urosternite I conical and rounded at sides (in female C. durantoni), or fusiform, with urosternite I subconical and straight-sided (in other females); urosternite I the longest; urosternites II-IV transverse, variable in length, subequal (in both sexes of C. melanaria), or sequentially shorter towards apex of abdomen (in most species). Urosternite V trapezoidal; in male hardly differentiated, slightly flattened on disc, apical margin excavate, and sharply pointed at sides (in C. mneme), or truncate, and blunt at sides (in C. melanaria); in female apical half bent downwards (weakly in C. melanaria), apical margin truncate to excavate (in C. mneme and C. euphrosyne respectively), or acuminate to weakly acuminate (in C. durantoni and C. melanaria respectively). Abdominal process almost planar with abdomen in female; inclined in male (slope about 30º). Legs: in both sexes ratio lengths front/middle/hind leg 1.0:1.1-1.2:2.1- 2.3.

Front leg: femur about as long as tibia, or somewhat longer (in female C. mneme); tibia moderately robust; narrow at base, rather abruptly widening and almost parallel-sided to apex; when viewed dorsally apical margin oblique, somewhat lanceolate; apico-lateral angle looks strongly dentate. Middle leg: femur moderately long, 1.1-1.5 longer than length of tibia; femoral clave moderately robust (but not tumid when viewed from above), in both sexes length of femur/lateral width of femoral clave 3.1-3.5; tibia rather slender and almost parallel-sided to apex (in most species), or gradually widening to apex (in C. mneme). Hind leg: robust, body length/length of leg in both sexes 1.2-1.4; femur strongly pedunculate-clavate; clave fusiform, with sides hardly parallel-sided (when viewed laterally), and weakly tumid (when viewed from above); apex reaching from basal third of urosternite III to middle of IV; clave long, peduncle short, moderately narrow, and flattened; length clave/peduncle 2.1-2.5 (in most species), or 3.1 (in C. durantoni). Metatibia, when viewed laterally, slightly curved and bisinuate (in C. euphrosyne,), or almost straight (in most species); moderately robust, and uniformly wide when viewed dorsally. Metatarsus: distinctly narrower than apex of metatibia, robust in male, less robust in female. Metatarsomere I cylindrical (in C. melanaria), subcylindrical (in the remaining species); II not pediculate, trapezoidal; II slightly shorter or slightly longer than III; lobes of III usually narrow, rounded at sides, and weakly divergent. In both sexes first metatarsomere 1.00-1.27 length of II+III.</p> <p>Genitalia. The description of the genitalia is based on two species, C. melanaria (Fig. 52) and C. mneme (Fig. 53). Tegmen similar to Exepimelitta windsori; rather different from other epimelittids. Median lobe of aedeagus: moderately long (about 2.0- 3.2 mm), slender, modestly arced, with acuminate apex; and with small dark bodies present. Tegmen: apical part longer than basal part. Apical part divided into two relatively long, finger-shaped lobes, these strongly divergent and narrow in C. mneme, less divergent and broader in C. melanaria (length/width of lobe 3.9-6.0). Each lobe with moderately curved lateral and mesal margins, at apex abruptly wider, slightly asymmetrical and subacuminate. Basal part moderately broad and short (more so in C. mneme). Y-piece long and narrow, the stem about as long as the fork.</p> <p>General pubescence. Pubescence of pronotum, elytra and abdomen much reduced in both sexes (especially in C. mneme); the setae usually black, rufous or chestnut; but somewhat golden on elytra (in C. euphrosyne). Notable pubescence (tufts of long, suberect setae): generally absent on upperside of body and elytra, but can be present as diagonal patch of dense, short setae on elytra (in C. bleuzeni, C. euphrosyne and C. melanaria); on underside of body as follows: below inferior lobes of eyes; towards sides on apical margin of prosternum; and markedly dense tufts adjacent to front margin of procoxae (in males of C. bleuzeni and C. melanaria); sides of meso- and metasternum (or covering most of metasternum in male C. melanaria), and metepisternum; dense rufous hair covering sides of abdomen (in male C. melanaria). Less notable pubescence consisting of whitish or golden, recumbent hairs on: mesepimera; and sides of metasternum (in males of C. bleuzeni and C. mneme); abdominal urosternite I liberally clothed with silver pubescence (in male C. bleuzeni); and urosternites I and II with dense, narrow band of yellow pubescence on hind margins (in C. durantoni). Notable pubescence on legs as follows: ventral and dorsal surfaces of pro- and mesofemora (hardly notable in C. euphrosyne and C. mneme); aggregating in to dense tufts (in C. bleuzeni and C. melanaria); almost uniformly clothing metafemoral clave (not especially dense, but notable suberect stiff setae in most species; denser and longer in C. bleuzeni); metatibiae with dense brushes (in C. bleuzeni), or bunching into denser patches, but not quite dense enough to be called brushes (in female C. euphrosyne and male C. mneme), or adorned with long setae, only moderately dense, and somewhat more uniformly distributed (in C. durantoni, C. melanaria, and female C. mneme); and not emanating from swellings on tibial surface.</p> <p>General puncturation. On upperside: generally very dense, rather small, and alveolate on head, pronotum and elytra; on head and pronotum uniformly distributed, without smooth, impunctate areas, except on frons (in most species); or sides of pronotum smooth between large, subalveolate punctures (in C. durantoni); on elytra smooth, impunctate areas restricted to translucent panels, these sparsely impunctate (in most species), or entire elytral surface almost uniformly densely punctate, obliterating vestiges of translucent panels (in C. melanaria). Underside puncturation mirrors the state of its pubescence; the punctures generally very dense and small: on prosternum confused and contiguous; micropunctate on mesosternum; on metasternum beveled (in C. melanaria and C. mneme), or less dense, not beveled, and larger on metasternum (in C. durantoni and C. euphrosyne); on abdomen punctures small; dense and beveled (in C. melanaria), or less so (in male C. mneme); micropunctate (in C. euphrosyne and female C. mneme); or sparsely and shallowly punctate (in C. durantoni).</p> <p>Species included in this genus: Charisia durantoni (Peñaherrera-Leiva and Tavakilian, 2003), comb. nov.: Charisia euphrosyne (Newman, 1840), comb. nov.; Charisia melanaria Gounelle, 1911; Charisia mneme (Newman, 1841), comb. nov.; Charisia bleuzeni (Peñaherrera-Leiva and Tavakilian, 2003), comb. nov.; and on a provisional basis Charisia ornaticollis Zajciw, 1973. The holotype of the latter, deposited in National Museum, Rio de Janeiro, has not been examined, as they will not lend specimens to nonmuseum personnel (pers. comm. M.A. Monné, MNRJ); and the original description, with figure, together with a rather poor photograph of the holotype (available on the internet) do not supply the information needed to determine its true status. Zajciw (1973) suggests his species to be near to Charisia bicolor; and it may be better placed in Erratamelitta.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AD04CD4F5C4EAC26F8E3FCCD35E9FC54	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Unfortunately specimens of Charisia bleuzeni (originally described from a single female) were not available for study (but excellent photographs of both sexes provided enough detail for those characters mentioned in the text). The species could probably be placed in a genus of its own. It has a general resemblance to Charisia melanaria, but differs from all the species of Charisia by the well developed tufts of setae on the metatibia, and the shape of the male’s abdomen. It cannot be placed in Epimelitta s. str. because the forebody is distinctly shorter than abdomen; the prothorax is widest near middle; the integument is black; and the body pubescence is not orange in color. Nor can it be placed in Exepimelitta because the pronotum is subquadrate, not strongly transverse; the general body pubescence is reduced, the pronotum lacking the dense, long setae of the transverse depression, the urosternites lacking hairy tufts; and the apex of the metafemora lack the characteristic fascia of white hairs.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AD04CD4F5C4AAC27F8E3FD8D3305FC34	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Antennae: moderately robust and somewhat crassate (slightly more so in female), with all segments elongate (apical ones weakly so), relatively long, apex reaching apical third of urosternite I in male, in female just passing metacoxae. Scape subcylindrical, rather narrow (width 0.20 mm in both sexes), especially at base; antennomere III narrow and filiform; IV and V filiform in male, widened at apex in female. Antennomeres VI-X incrementally crassate and serrate.

Pronotal surface only moderately irregular (in E. eliasi and female E. erato); more so (in male E. erato); with pair of wide calli to either side of disc, the anterior one almost evanescent, the posterior one tumid (but not overhanging profile of sides); disc lacking callosities at midline; apical constriction weak, basal constriction narrow and strongly abrupt towards sides (and not fossate). Prosternum: flat, surface almost planar with prosternal process; the latter weakly arced; base of prosternal process narrow, 6-7 times narrower than width of procoxal cavity; apex of prosternal process a short, wide, isosceles triangle in male, almost bilobed in female. Procoxal cavity rather broadly plugged laterally; behind rather narrowly open, the gap between apex of post coxal process and apex of prosternal process about 0.10-0.15 mm. Scutellum: rather short, trapezoidal.

Humeri: not hiding mesepimera, not rounded, moderately projecting and prominent. Each elytron gradually and weakly narrowed to rounded, unarmed apex. Translucent panels rather ill-defined, hardly paler than adjacent areas of elytra, or more contrasting (in E. eliasi), limited to middle half of elytra, weakly depressed, and rather broad towards apex, and only separated from sutural border by a few large punctures. Surface surrounding translucent panel hardly irregular, weakly raised adjacent to, and posterior to scutellum; towards sides abruptly raised at humeri (to leave these narrow and prominent); towards apex panels not separated from sides by carina (as remnants of the humero-apical costa absent). Surface just posterior to translucent panels with weak transverse depression, giving the elytral a weak lobe-like appearance. Mesosternum: center nearly planar with sides; mesosternal declivity moderately deep and abrupt (with about 70º slope) in both sexes. Mesosternal process partially hidden by dense pubescence; base of process moderately wide, widths mesocoxal cavity/process 2.0-2.3 (in male and female E. erato), or 2.5 (in E. eliasi); apex lanceolate; sides towards apex slightly widened to blunt tooth (in E. erato), or sides distinctly widened to sharp spine (in E. eliasi).

In male: nearly cylindrical, weakly annulated (urosternites with slightly rounded sides); rather robust, wide and parallel-sided (in E. eliasi), or slightly narrowed at apex of urosternite II and IV, and widest near apex of II (in E. erato). Urosternite V trapezoidal; with deep U-shaped soleate depression occupying most of surface; when viewed laterally with large, triangularshaped wings (in E. erato), or rhombic-shaped wings (in E. eliasi); apical margin broadly excavate. In female: abdomen weakly fusiform, almost parallel-sided to base of urosternite V; not annulated (urosternites almost straight-sided); urosternite I broad and subconical, apical segments wider than normal; urosternite V short and trapezoidal, apical half weakly bent downwards, apical margin broadly rounded with weak projection at midline. Abdominal process in male a narrow isosceles triangle, with about 10º slope to surface of urosternite I; and intimately inserted between metacoxae. In female abdominal process a large, wide, equilateral triangle, planar with abdomen. Apical tergite in male cylindrical, strongly convex and rounded at apex; rather long (in E. erato), or rather short (in E. eliasi); in female moderately short and flatter. Legs: in both sexes ratio lengths front/middle/hind leg 1.0:1.3:2.4-2.5. Front and middle legs: body length/length of legs about 3.0 and 2.4 respectively. Front leg: femur hardly longer than tibia; tibia moderately slender; narrow at base, rather abruptly widening and almost parallel-sided to apex; when viewed dorsally apical margin oblique, somewhat lanceolate; with small setose tubercle at apico-lateral angle (but not dentate). Middle leg: femur long, about 1.5 longer than tibia; femoral clave moderately robust and tumid mesally (when viewed from above), and long (lengths clave/ peduncle 1.7-1.8); moderately broad in male, rather narrow in female (length of femur/lateral width of femoral clave 3.6-3.8 in male, 4.1 in female); tibia rather slender and gradually widening to apex. Hind leg: robust, body length/length of leg in both sexes 1.2-1.3; femur pedunculate-clavate, 1.5-1.7 longer than tibia; clave long, fusiform, viewed laterally rather robust and abrupt basally, length of femur/width of clave 5.58 (in E. eliasi), or slender and not abrupt, length of femur/width of clave 6.09-6.22 in male, 6.50-6.89 in female (in E. erato); sides weakly tumid (when viewed from above); apex reaching base of urosternite IV (in E. eliasi), basal third of IV (in female E. erato), middle of IV (in male E. erato); peduncle cylindrical, moderately long and slender (less so in female); lengths clave/peduncle 1.8 (in both sexes of in E. erato), or 2.2 (in E. eliasi).

Metatarsomere I subcylindrical; II not pediculate, weakly trapezoidal, III shorter than II, the lobes narrow, hardly rounded at sides, and weakly divergent. In both sexes: first tarsomere 1.33-1.45 longer than II+III (in E. erato), 1.27 longer than II+III (in E. eliasi).</p> <p>Genitalia. Based on E. erato (Fig. 57). Tegmen and median lobe characteristic: proportions of tegmen similar to Epimelitta scoparia (apical and basal parts of nearly equal length); but the median lobe broader than any other epimelittid examined. Median lobe of aedeagus: moderately long (about 1.5 mm), broad, weakly arced, with acuminate apex; and small dark bodies present. Tegmen: apical and basal parts of nearly equal length. Apical part divided into two finger-shaped lobes, these divergent, relatively short and wide (length/width 2.8), each lobe with strongly curved lateral and mesal margins, at apex hardly wider, symmetrical and subacuminate. Basal part broad and relatively long. Y-piece rather long and broadly, and the stem about as long as the fork.</p> <p>General pubescence. Much reduced (more so in female). Notable pubescence (dense tufts of long setae) usually absent from body. Less notable pubescence: on upperside: frons, surface surrounding pronotal disc, and basal half of elytra with variable amounts of dense, recumbent, golden or brassy pubescence (and on scutellum dense silver pubescence); and some longer, fine, erect hairs on pronotum. On underside: pubescence silver in color (but dense pubescence almost absent in female); in male prosternum densely clothed with untidy, long hairs; meso- and metasterna rather densely clothed with long, recumbent hairs, on metepisterna replaced by sparser, long, erect hairs; abdomen rather sparsely pubescent, the hairs short and subrecumbent; towards sides of all urosternites narrow arced patches of recumbent hair on latero-basal margins.</p> <p>General puncturation. On upperside punctures generally setose, very dense, rather small, and alveolate; on pronotum the punctures elongated, giving the surface a striated appearance; on elytra larger, granulate and confluent basally, incrementally larger and more spaced towards apex, at apex mixed with smaller ones. Underside puncturation based on the state of its pubescence (less strong and often beveled in female); the punctures comparatively deep and large on prosternum; generally alveolate, very dense and small to microscopic below patches of dense, recumbent pubescence on mesosternum and metasternum (sparser and larger towards basal margin of latter, and on metepisternum). On abdomen somewhat beveled; in male punctures alveolate, rather small, deeper and denser towards apex (in E. erato), or generally rather shallower and sparser (in E. eliasi); in female punctures shallow and sparse away from sides, towards sides not much denser, deeper and less beveled.</p> <p>Species included in this genus: Erratamelitta eliasi sp. nov. and Erratamelitta erato (Newman, 1840), comb. nov.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AD04CD4F5C45AC2AF8E3FC2D3604FA34	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

When Bates described the genus Acorethra he stipulated: “the abdomen is of disproportionate extension, exceeding by one half the length of the rest of the body. When Newman described the new genus Charis he made no reference to the dimensions of the abdomen, thereby suggesting that it was of normal proportions. He placed three new species in the genus, including C. erato. The other two species, C. euphrosyne and C. aglaia do not have elongate abdomens, and there is no reason to suppose that C. erato was any different, and no reason for Monné and Giesbert (1992) to move Epimelitta erato to the genus Acorethra.</p> <p>Unfortunately Newman’s ‘type’ of C. erato, thought to be in BMNH collection, cannot be found (pers. comm. Maxwell Barclay).</p> <p>When Bates (1873) described Charis bicolor he stated that Newman’s C. erato was unknown to him. Among the specimens referred to above, and others in the MZSP collection, some have been identified as A. erato, others as E. bicolor, in what seems to be a random manner. Since there seems to be no defining characters to suggest that two species are present, the author has treated E. bicolor as a junior synonym of C. erato as indicated above.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AD04CD4F5C41AC2CF8E3FCED3561F8D4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Small, total length 6.4-9.0 mm, and narrow (total length/width metathorax 5.8-6.8). Forebody (f) distinctly shorter than abdomen (a), f/a 0.74-0.85. Head: rather narrow (widths prothorax/head with eyes 1.11-1.19 in male, 1.21-1.30 in female); rostrum short (in Bolivian specimens of A. debilis width/length 3.14-3.43) to moderately long (in A. eupheme and Goiás female of A. debilis 2.40- 2.50 respectively). Labrum transverse, rectangular, about three times wider than long. Clypeus almost planar with frons, apex hardly wider than labrum. Apical palpomeres truncate at apex, those of maxillary fusiform, those of labium cylindrical and narrow. Galea long, narrow. Inferior lobes of eyes: almost contiguous in male, width of one lobe/interocular distance 4.87-5.67 in male, in female 0.92-1.08. Superior lobes: of eyes almost parallel-sided, with 6-9 rows of moderately large ommatidia, laterally narrowed (by about one third their mesal width); and separated by 3.0-3.6 the width of one lobe. Antennal tubercles weakly raised, rounded at apex, and separated by three times width of scape (0.30-0.35). Antennae: more robust in female; apex in male reaching middle of urosternite II, in female near apex of I. Length of scape 0.85-1.10 mm; antennomeres III-V filiform, III 1.05-1.13 longer than scape, slightly longer than IV, as long as V; VI filiform to subfiliform; VI-X incrementally shorter and more quadrate; towards apex VI (sometimes) and VII-X rather crassate, hardly serrate in male, weakly so in female; XI ovate, shorter than VII, with moderately small to very small apical cone. Prothorax: in male 1.10-1.12 longer than wide, in female usually quadrate; trapezoidal (in most specimens examined), but may be cylindrical and slightly elongate (in some females from the Bolivian Chaco); tumid adjacent to basal angles, these well rounded (in A. debilis), strongly so (in A. eupheme), leaving width of base hardly wider than apex (widths apex/base 0.91-0.95); basal margin almost straight, not juxtaposed between elytral humeri; sides widest usually well behind middle, prothoracic quotient 1.40-1.54, or at middle (in some females of A. debilis). Pronotal surface moderately convex, disc almost regular (laterally with nearly obsolete arc of paired calli); apical constriction weak or absent, basal constriction weakly abrupt and narrow. Prosternum: only moderately declivous across middle; at midline planar with its process; prosternal process flat; base sublaminate, 5-8 times narrower than width of procoxal cavity; apex oblanceolate. Procoxal cavity rather widely plugged laterally; moderately widely open behind. Scutellum: small, trapezoidal; pubescence hiding details. Elytra: cuneate; rather flat, but slightly depressed across apical third (more strongly depressed in male A. eupheme); 1.76-1.82 longer than width of humeri (Chaco males and females of A. debilis with slightly shorter elytra; and in one of three females elytra only 1.67 longer than width of humeri); apex nearly reaching middle of urosternite I; laterally weakly, or not at all arced and hardly divergent apically; apical quarter moderately gaping. Humeri: hiding mesepimera; hardly projecting, but square, and weakly prominent. Each elytron gradually, but not strongly narrowed to rounded, unarmed apex; with broad translucent panel (in A. eupheme), or these almost entirely suffused with black pigment (in tropical specimens of A. debilis, including the Goiás female), or without panel (in Chaco specimens of A. debilis). Mesosternum: at center more prominent than sides; somewhat abruptly inclined to mesosternal process (but not deeply); base of process rather narrow (mesocoxal cavity 2.40- 2.67 wider than base of process), from nearly flat to moderately raised sides; apex of process lanceolate, pre-apex moderately diverging and surmounted by small tooth to each side. Mesocoxal cavity moderately widely open to mesepimerum. Lengths of mesosternum/metasternum 0.73-0.75. Metathorax: with almost straight, parallel sides, hind margin obliquely rounded to middle of metasternal apex; metasternum moderately tumid, often flattened for apical half, slightly more, to slightly less prominent than mesocoxae; metepisternum moderately wide and parallel-sided for basal two-thirds, subacuminate towards apex. Abdomen: in both sexes convex, weakly annulated, urosternite I the longest, II-IV subequal, or sequentially slightly shorter towards apex of abdomen. Abdominal process planar with abdomen in female, weakly inclined in male (slope about 15º). In male: abdomen narrow and cylindrical; widest near apex of urosternite I; basal urosternites slightly elongate, IV and V quadrate. Urosternite V: trapezoidal; surface weakly differentiated, with flat, U or V-shaped area demarcated by slightly raised sides (in A. debilis), or strongly raised sides (in A. eupheme); in both species leaving apical margin broadly emarginate between acutely pointed sides; when viewed laterally urosternite V winged, with somewhat acute apical angles. In female: abdomen fusiform, but much wider towards base than apex; widest at middle, or nearer apex of urosternite II; urosternite I subconical, slightly elongate; II and III transverse, IV slightly variable but, basically quadrate and trapezoidal. Urosternite V moderately elongate; somewhat trapezoidal; surface undifferentiated; sides weakly constricted across apical third, the latter moderately down-turned; apical margin weakly rounded, slightly flattened and minutely angled at sides. Legs: in male ratio lengths front/middle/hind leg 1.0:1.3-1.4:2.5-2.6, in female 1.0:1.4:2.6-2.8. Front and middle legs: body length/ length of legs about 3.0 and 2.2 respectively. Front leg: femur about as long as tibia; tibia moderately slender, narrow at base, gradually widening to apex, or widening to middle, parallel-sided to apex, apical margin rounded and somewhat lanceolate, apico-lateral angle usually with setose tubercle. Middle leg: femur moderately long, 1.3 longer than length of tibia; femoral clave moderately robust, in male length of femur/lateral width of femoral clave 4.4, in female 5.0; tibia rather slender, gradually widening to apex. Hind leg: rather elegant, body length/length of leg in both sexes 1.0-1.2; femur subcylindrical (clave gradually widening from base to pre-apex), apex reaching from basal third to apical third of urosternite IV; clave long, peduncle short, narrow, and hardly flattened (length clave/peduncle about 1.7). Metatibiae: straight (or slightly curved viewed laterally), slender, slightly widening from base to apex; moderately densely setose (these denser, rather short and robust in A. eupheme), but far from being a brush. Metatarsus distinctly narrower than apex of metatibia; metatarsomere I cylindrical, II not pediculate, slightly elongate, somewhat trapezoidal or subcylindrical, III short shorter than II, the lobes narrow, hardly rounded at sides, and weakly divergent; in male first tarsomere 1.1-1.2 longer than II+III, in female 1.3- 1.4 longer.</p> <p>Genitalia. Tegmen of A. debilis (Fig. 55) and A. eupheme (Fig. 56) similar, with lateral lobes characteristically robust. Median lobe of aedeagus: rather short (about 1,0 mm), slender, modestly arced, with acuminate apex; and dark bodies not evident. Tegmen: apical part longer than basal part. Apical part divided into two thumb-shaped lobes, these hardly divergent; each lobe with weakly curved mesal margin, rather long (length/width 5.3 in A. debilis, 5.5 in A. eupheme), widest near middle, at apex asymmetrically rounded. Y-piece long and broad, the stem longer than the fork.</p> <p>General pubescence. Much reduced (more so in female). Notable pubescence on body reduced to moderately dense, recumbent, whitish or ashy fascia on meso- and metasternum; with somewhat untidy, longer, erect, sparser hairs on most surfaces (including, and most characteristically, on elytra); on abdomen rather sparsely pubescent (especially in female), the hairs short and subrecumbent; towards sides mixed with long suberect hairs; and lacking dense recumbent fascia on latero-basal margins.</p> <p>General puncturation. On upperside generally very dense, rather small, and alveolate; on elytra larger, granulate and confluent basally, contiguous apically, medially more spaced. Underside puncturation based on the state of its pubescence; the punctures generally very dense, simple, small to microscopic, and beveled; mixed with larger punctures on prosternum (these alveolate) and metasterna (these deeper and rounded). On abdomen punctures small, shallow and somewhat beveled; generally sparse to moderately sparse away from sides, towards sides rather denser.</p> <p>Species included in this genus: Adepimelitta debilis Gounelle, 1911, comb. nov.: A. eupheme (Lameere, 1884), comb. nov.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AD04CD4F5C40AC2EF8E3FF6D36EAF9F4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Head: narrow, rostrum moderately elongate. Eyes in male large, inferior lobes almost contiguous; in female moderately separated. Antennae: moderately short, from antennomere VI dilated and serrate. Prothorax: narrow, and narrowed towards apex. Elytra: cuneiform blunt at apex, the latter reaching middle of urosternite I, disc shining and smooth. Metasternum: not tumid. Abdomen: in male slender and elongate, cylindrical; in female sessile, slightly wider and fusiform. Hind legs: elongate; femora gradually clavate; tibiae without brush; tarsi short.</p> <p>Genitalia. Based on Acorethra chrysaspis (Fig. 54). Tegmen different from any epimellitid; median lobe similar to Adepimelitta; but more arced. Median lobe of aedeagus: moderately long (about 1.5 mm), slender, with acuminate apex; and dark bodies not evident. Tegmen: shears-shaped; apical part slightly longer than basal part. Apical lobes long (length/width 5.3), not at all arced nor divergent, parallel to each other; each lobe with almost straight lateral margin, mesal margin weakly bisinuate, widest near middle, apex asymmetrically (obliquely rounded) and weakly setose. Y-piece long and broad, stem not longer than fork.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Hind legs and abdomen long. In Acorethra hind legs 2.8-3.0 longer than front leg (in Adepimelitta hind leg/front leg 2.5-2.7; in Charisia 2.2-2.4; in the remaining genera 2.3-2.5). In Acorethra abdomen 1.4-1.5 longer than forebody in female and male respectively; among the epimelittids only shared by Charisia bleuzeni and males of Adepimelitta; but Acorethra species are not robust, nor large (C. bleuzeni robust and large, and species of Adepimelitta small).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AD04CD4F5C7DAC10F8E3FE8D34E9FBB4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
