Globulosis hemisphericus García, 2001, by original designation.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. Small beetles, total body length 1.9–2.3 mm (Fig. 2). Color yellow to dark brown. Body form rounded in dorsal view, and subhemispherical (slightly dorsoventrally compressed). Antennae with eight antennomeres (Fig. 5 A). Maxillary palps curved inward. Elytra without sutural or other distinct striae. Mesoventrite with a transverse ridge, usually elevated medially into an acute tooth (Fig. 5 B). Fifth abdominal ventrite with small truncation at apex (Fig. 6 A).</p><p>Description. Head (Figs. 3; 5A). Antennae with eight antennomeres, including three-segmented pubescent club (Fig. 5 A). Maxillary palps curved inward and long, distinctly longer in length than the width of head just anterior to eyes; inner face of palpomere 2 straight to slightly curved (Fig. 5 A); apical palpomere slightly longer than penultimate. Labial palps short, distinctly shorter than mentum width. Mentum (Fig. 5 A) flat and set with a few scattered setae; strongly emarginated anteromedially with a notch extending posteriorly about one-quarter to one-third of its length. Head with ground punctures weakly impressed. Frons (Fig. 3) with series of irregular systematic setiferous punctures anterior to each eye. Systematic punctures also present on clypeus and labrum but blend with ground punctation, appearing almost absent. Eyes (Fig. 3) not bulging, continuous with outline of the head; slightly emarginated anteriorly by a small extension of the frons. Thorax. Pronotum with systematic punctation in lateral thirds, each puncture usually bearing a short seta. Prosternum narrow, not carinate medially (Fig. 6 B); very slightly elevated in anterior third, and with a transverse crease. Mesoventrite with anapleural sutures distinctly concave (Fig. 5 B). Mesoventrite with a transverse, triangular ridge medially (Fig. 5 B). Metaventrite pubescent, with a small indistinct glabrous region posteromedially; with a small posteriorly projecting tooth medially. Elytra without sutural stria or serial punctures (Fig. 5 C); with irregular rows of systematic punctures bearing short setae, appearing indistinct from surrounding ground punctation. Procoxae set with sparse setae, but without thickened spines (Fig. 6 B). Hind femora pubescent on all but apical fifth to sixth of ventral face (Figs. 2 C, F). All tarsi with five tarsomeres; with a few short setae on dorsal face but without long natatory setae. Ventral surface of tarsomeres 1– 4 set with two rows of moderately long articulated spicules. Abdomen. Abdomen with five densely pubescent ventrites, with setae slightly denser medially on each ventrite (6A). Fifth ventrite truncate to very weakly emarginated at apex, and set with a row of coarser yellow setae (Fig. 6 A). Aedeagus (e.g., Fig. 7) with short basal piece, less than one-third the length of the parameres. Median lobe wide, wider than width of parameres.</p><p>Larvae. Unknown.</p><p>Distribution. Colombia (Meta), Venezuela (Apure, Amazonas, Bolívar), Guyana, Suriname, &amp; Brazil (Amazonas, Pará).</p><p>Biology. Recent collecting efforts in Venezuela and Suriname suggest that the genus is primarily found in moving waters, particularly stream margins with detritus. It has been found at elevations from near sea level to 600 m.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038C074DC309FF88FF2BFBEF479EE5C4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The curved outer margins of the parameres (Fig. 7 B–E) and dark brown dorsal coloration (Fig. 2 A) serve to distinguish this species from G. flavus, which has parallel-sided parameres and is pale in coloration.</p><p>Description. Total body length 2.0– 2.3 mm. Dorsal coloration brown to very dark brown (Fig. 2 A). Thoracic and abdominal venter dark brown (Fig. 2 C). Maxillary palps uniformly yellow (Fig. 3 A). Aedeagus (Fig. 7 B–E) with basal piece short, less than one-third the length of the parameres; outer margins of parameres distinctly curved inward. Median lobe broad, gradually tapering from the base to the apex into a blunted point, apex even with to slightly longer than the apex of the parameres; gonopore situated in the middle to apical third.</p><p>Variation. The dorsal coloration varies from a medium to very dark brown; we have not observed any nonteneral specimens that are as pale in color as G. flavus . The aedeagus also exhibits some variation with regard to degree of curvature of the outer margins of the parameres (may be weakly to strongly inwardly curved along their entire length), and the relative extension of the median lobe (may be even with the apex of the parameres or extending beyond them). The opening of the gonopore also varies in position, from being situated in the middle of the median lobe to being located more apically (compare Fig. 7 C with 7D and 7E). There was no clear correspondence in these characters with geography or the genetic groups found in Fig. 1.</p><p>Distribution. Venezuela (Bolívar), Guyana, Suriname, Brazil (Amazonas, Pará).</p><p>Biology. All known collecting events were from lotic habitats, primarily along the margins of small to medium sized streams and small rivers (e.g., Fig. 7 B–D). Most of these habitats had at least some sand substrate and decaying organic matter such as leaf litter. It has been collected on the summit of one low-elevation Tepui (Tafelberg) in Suriname.</p><p>Remarks. The aedeagus of the holotype (Fig. 4) had been mounted on a slide under a coverslip and stored vertically. When we observed the slide, the genitalia had migrated out from under the coverslip to its margin and had become distorted. We soaked the slide in water and dismounted the aedeagus, but it was in very poor condition. What remains has been placed in glycerin in a microvial and pinned beneath the specimen.</p><p>The correct original spelling of the specific epithet, hemisphericus, is an incorrect transliteration of “ hemisphaericus ”. This type of spelling error is uncorrectable (ICZN 32.5), thus the correctly transliterated form listed in Short &amp; Hebuaer (2006) is to be considered an incorrect subsequent spelling.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038C074DC30FFF8DFF2BF8D4437DE570	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The straight, parallel-sided parameres (Fig. 7 A) and yellow to light brown dorsal coloration (Fig. 2 D) serve to distinguish this species from G. hemisphericus, in which the outer margins of the parameres are curved along their entire length, and is darker in coloration.</p><p>Description.

Aedeagus (Fig. 7 A) with basal piece short, less than one third the length of the parameres; outer margins of parameres parallel-sided, with apex slightly curved inward. Median lobe broad, narrowing in apical third to an acute point, apex slightly lower than the apex of the parameres; gonopore situated in apical third.</p><p>Etymology. flavus, L., after the yellow coloration of the dorsum.</p><p>Distribution. Venezuela (Amazonas, Apure, Bolívar). The specimen from Apure, though in the llanos, was in a morichal (palm-lined stream) very close to the Orinoco River in an area that has an Amazonian influence.</p><p>Biology. This species has been collected along the margins of lotic habitats (e.g., Fig. 9 A).</p><p>Remarks. The northwest “shoulder” of the Guiana Shield where this species occurs has been found to harbor unique lineages of aquatic insects that have not been found elsewhere in the region, including Meruidae (Spangler &amp; Steiner 2005) and a lineage of Hydroscaphidae (Short et al. 2015) . The reason for this apparent biogeographic distinctness is not well understood.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038C074DC30DFF8CFF2BFE6E450BE340	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
