Name

Straneotia amazonica Mateu, 1961Wikispecies linkPensoft Profile

  • Straneotia amazonica Mateu, 1961:166.

Holotype

(Female): Type locality. Brazil, Amazonas, Tefé (Ega) (MHNP).
Azadeh Taghavian at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris was unable to locate the specimen amongst the Mateu collection. Therefore, we believe the type has been lost and a neotype will be needed when additional specimens are found.

Derivation of specific epithet

The epithet, amazonica, is a singular Latin feminine noun in apposition referring to the macrohabitat in which the holotype was found.

Proposed English Vernacular Name

Amazon slim arboreal carabid.

Diagnosis

With the attributes of the genus and amazonica species group as described above and adults without a flared post-lateral margin of the pronotum.

Description

(Fig. 5D). Habitus: (Fig. 5D). Size: Length (ABL) small for genus, ABL = 5.5 mm. Original description by Mateu (1961)[1].
“Long. 5,5 mm. Alado. Misma coloración que la especie anterior, exceptuando que el color amarillo invade una parte más considerable de la superficie elitral y algo de la base y margenes laterales del pronoto. Las manchas oscuras de los cinco intervalos internos son más numerosas y visibles. Cabeza alargada, apenas convexa y deprimida entre los ojos. Estos son grandes y prominentes. Mejillas tan largas como los ojos, al principio relativamente poco estrechadas hasta cerca de la unión con el cuello, en donde se estrechan bastante bruscamente. Cuello moderadamente grueso pero formando una neta estrangulación en su unión con las mejillas. Surcos frontales paralelos. Los ojos estan bien separados entre si. La superficie de la cabeza es lisa, pero un tanto desigual a causa de las depresiones que se observan al lado de los ojos y por detrás del epístoma; éste es bastante alargado. Antenas finas llegando a sobrepasar ligeramente la base del pronoto. Diente labial redondeado en la extremidad. (Fig. 3b [in Mateu (1961)[1]]). Pronoto alargado, cerca de vez y media más largo que ancho, convexo, bien que deprimido a lo largo del surco mediano. Borde anterior truncado, los ángulos anteriores redondeados. Los lados se ensanchan progresivamente en linea recta hasta la mitad de su longitud total desde donde se estrechan en linea oblicua hasta cerca de los ángulos posteriores que son obtusos. Base truncada. Reborde lateral ancho y reflejado hacia la base. Surco mediano fino. Elitros bastante convexos algo subcónicos y deprimidos sobre el disco a lo largo de la sutura. Húmeros ampliamente redondeados. Lados progresivamente estrechados hacia atrás. Apice sinuoso con el ángulo sutural algo prolongado. Estrías regulares, medianamente profundas y ligeramente punteadas. Intervalos subconvexos. Superficie elitral algo desigual. Reborde lateral estrecho, salvo a 5,2,1,6. Los poros intermedios casi equidistantes uno de otro y poco separados del grupo posterior. En realidad, sólo los cinco primeros constituyen una serie agregada. Metatibias rectas.”

Dispersal potential

These beetles are macropterous and probably capable of flight.

Way of life

The holotype was collected in the 1st trimester of 1878, the rainy season in the western Amazon Basin.

Other specimens examined

None.

Geographic distribution

(Fig. 7). This species is currently known from the western Amazon Basin.

Notes

Because the type appears to be lost, we have provided Mateu’s original description and drawing.
