Carinodula Gordon, Pakaluk, and Ślipiński, 1989

Rediscription. Modified from Gordon et al. 1989. Head ( Gordon et al. 1989, fig. 2) deflexed, exposed; tentorium without corporotentorium, posterior arms strongly divergent; eye coarsely faceted, composed of 17–19 ommatidia; gular sutures indistinct. Antenna ( Gordon et al. 1989, fig. 4) 11-segmented, antennomeres 1–3 elongate, 4–7 subequal in size, 8 and 9 expanded laterally, wider than long, 10 and 11 forming distinct club. Labrum transverse, tormae reduced. Mandible ( Gordon et al. 1989, fig. 7) with molar lobe narrow, acute, with weakly developed subbasal tooth. Maxilla ( Gordon et al. 1989, fig. 6) with palpus long, about 0.5X length of antenna, segment 2 elongate, 4 large, elongate oval. Labium with 3-segmented palpus; segment 1 short, inserted before anterior edge; segment 2 elongate, cylindrical; segment 3 shorter than 2, weakly convergent apically. Ligula about 0.65X longer than wide. Mentum about 1.35X longer than wide. Pronotum with lateral edge weakly to moderately crenulate; submarginal carinae extending from posterior edge to anterior edge. Prosternum ( Fig. 4 ) with intercoxal process relatively narrow, edges subparallel or widened apically, apex rounded. Mesosternum transverse; mesocoxae globular, separated by about 0.75X width of their cavities. Elytron with lateral margin explanate; explanation widest anteriorly. Epipleuron oblique, flat, broad, about twice as wide as metepisternum, tapered posteriorly, disappearing at about middle of abdomen. Metasternum transverse, about 0.42X longer than wide; transverse suture absent; median suture about 0.4X length of metasternum; postcoxal line rounded. Metathoracic

wings absent. Legs long, slender; tarsi ( Gordon et al. 1989, fig. 10) cryptotetramerous. Abdomen ( Gordon et al. 1989, fig. 5) without internal apodemes; ventrite 1 with V-shaped or truncate postcoxal line, ventrites 1 and 2 incompletely fused. Male genitalia ( Fig. 6 ) without paramere; basal lobe broad, asymmetrical; sipho extremely long, slender ( Fig. 8 ). Female genitalia with triangular genital plate; stylus elongate, cylindrical, unisetose; seta subequal in length to stylus. Spermathecal capsule L-shaped ( Gordon et al. 1989, fig. 8) or as in Fig. 5 , with accessory gland bulbous; infundibulum absent.
