Diagnosis
Cyclidius elongatus is recognised by the following combination of characters: Clypeus bidentate anteriorly in females, with a concavity between the tips ( Figures 11 View Figure 11 (C)–12(C)); males bears a trapezoidal clypeus raised anteriorly, with no tips ( Figures 9 View Figure 9 (C)–10(C)); and the protibia has a medial-proximal tooth ( Figures 9 View Figure 9 (D)–10(D)), which is absent in females ( Figures 11 View Figure 11 (D)–12(D)).
Redescription
Male. Size: length: 24.2– 24 mm; width: 12– 11.6 mm. Colour: Body dorsally black, elytra opaque black with glossy black ( Figure 9 View Figure 9 (A, E)) or glossy reddish orange in the centre ( Figure 10 View Figure 10 (A, E)). Head: Clypeal projection trapezoidal and bent upwards in frontal view, with slight sinuosity ( Figure 9 View Figure 9 (C)–10(C)); frons with a longitudinal elevation in the centre, connecting the front part of the clypeus; velutinous behind the two tubercles posteriorly; mentum shallowly concave centrally. Pronotum: Velutinous surface, lateral margin with incomplete border. Elytra: Velutinous surface on lateral parts of the elytral disc and glossy punctate centrally. Thoracic venter: Metaventrite: ‘C’-punctate opaque or velutinous laterally. Metepisternum: ‘C’-punctate, opaque or velutinous. Legs: Protibia: Enlarged centrally, with medial-proximal tooth ( Figures 9 View Figure 9 (D)–10(D)). Abdomem: Ventrites ‘c’-punctate. Aedeagus: Parameres curving dorsad, each apex rounded, with callus proximally, before central membranous portion ( Figure 9 View Figure 9 (G, H)).
Female size: length: 25.3– 22.4 mm; width: 12.5– 11.1 mm. Female with clypeal projection bent upwards in frontal view, bidentate, with a concavity between the tips ( Figures 11 View Figure 11 (C)–12(C)); protibia without medial-proximal tooth ( Figures 11 View Figure 11 (D)– 12(D)).
Morphological variation
The elytral centre can be glossy black ( Figures 9 View Figure 9 (A, E), 11(A, E)) or reddish orange ( Figures 10 View Figure 10 (A, E), 12(A, E)). There is a single female from Óbidos (Pará, Brazil) without the two posterior tubercles present on the frons.
Geographical distribution
Cyclidius elongatus is known from Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname in the north-east of the Amazon Forest in the biogeographical provinces of Guiana Lowlands, Roraima, and Xingu-Tapajós, with a doubtful record from Ecuador ( Figure 19 View Figure 19 ).
Remarks
The label data of one of the specimens, placing Cyclidus elongatus in Ecuador, is questionable due to its divergence from other known localities. This species does not have the broad distribution seen in Cyclidius lacordairei . Westwood (1874) mentions Cyclidius plagiatus Dejean 1837 ( nomen nudum) as a synonym of Cyclidius elongatus .
