Lathrobium fodens (263-268), L. attiitum (269-272), and L. compressicrus (273). 263: forebody; 264, 269: male stemite VII; 265, 270: male stemite VIII; 266, 271: aedeagus in lateral view; 267, 272: aedeagus in ventral view; 268: female ster- nite VIII; 273: female tergite VIII. Scale bars: 263: mm; 264-273: mm. Description. Body length 5-6 mm; length of forebody — mm. Coloration: body more or less uniformly red- dish. Head (Fig. 263) approximately as long as broad or weakly oblong; punctation coarse and rather sparse; in- terstices with distinct microreticulation, much broader than diameter of punctures in median dorsal portion. Eyes not projecting from lateral contours of head, very small, com- posed of fewer than 10 ommatidia. Pronotum (Fig. 263) approximately times as long as broad and as broad as head; punctation similar to that of head; midline broadly impunctate; interstices without microsculpture. Elytra short, approximately times as long as prono- tum (Fig. 263); humeral angles weakly marked; puncta- tion shallow and rather ill-defined; interstices without dis- tinct microsculpture. Hind wings completely reduced. Metatibia slightly compressed. Abdomen broader than elytra; punctation shallow and moderately dense; posterior margin of tergite VII without palisade fringe. protarsomeres I-IV strongly dilated; posterior mar- gin of tergite VIII truncate; stemite VII weakly impressed, posteriorly with a pair of clusters of blackish setae, pos- terior margin bisinuate in the middle and with fringe of numerous black palisade setae (Fig. 264); stemite VIII weakly transverse, median impression without setae, pos- terior excision somewhat U-shaped and in somewhat asymmetric position (Fig. 265); aedeagus mm long; ventral process conspicuously long and thin; dorsal plate broad and lamellate (Figs 266-267).
