(Figs. 7, 22, 39, 45, 53, 61, 77 a/b)

Habitus Fig. 7. Length 0.57 mm. Colour mid brown, antennae and legs yellow. Antennomeres 3–11 length 0.19 mm Fig. 45. Width across eyes 0.18 mm. Mentum: the two long setae normally located at the anterior corners situated medially, widest anteriorly but not so marked as other species of more triangular shape, submentum Fig. 39. Pronotum with larger setal depressions towards posterior margin, length 0.12 mm, width 0.22 mm, Fig. 22. Elytra length 0.37 mm, width 0.26 mm. Mesoventrum: keel wide and flattened between mesocoxae, Fig. 53. Mesepiventra: reticulation distinct, hind angles apparent at junction with metepiventral suture, Fig. 53. Mesocoxae widely separated Fig. 53. Metaventrum: reticulation distinct, metepiventral sutures terminating anteriorly at lateral angle of mesoventral suture and bending inwards to posterior margin, Fig. 61; posterior intercoxal process concave.

Male: not known.

Female: spermatheca Fig. 77 a/b.

Etymology. I have pleasure in naming this species after Colin Johnson, former curator of entomology at the Manchester Museum.

Diagnosis. The widely separated mesocoxae, posterior angles of the mesoventrum and the reticulation of the metaventrum distinguish the species.
