(Fig. 3)

Entisberus archetypus (non Distant, 1903): Bergroth 1918: 105. (misidentification) Entisberus bergrothi Kondorosy 2008:594 .

Kondorosy (2008) described and illustrated this species from males, with the characteristic gibbous anterior lobe to the pronotum. However, the female was unknown, but can now be described.

Female (Fig. 3). Description. COLOURATION. Head and anterior lobe of pronotum dark brown; antennae ochraceous with extreme base of first segment dark ferruginous brown; legs including femora and trochanters ochraceous, and with only coxae dark ferruginous. STRUCTURE. Dorsum rather dull, with only membrane somewhat shiny. Head with prominent antennal tubercles, clearly visible from above; vertex moderately convex, with distinct, decumbent, golden pubescence; eyes prominent and extending well beyond antero-lateral angles of pronotum; antennae rather setose, with setae longer than width of antennal segment; antennae with less than half of first segment extending beyond apex of head; rostrum reaching posterior edge of fore coxae. Pronotum with anterior lobe not usually as gibbous as in male, but gently convex with rather short, dense decumbent, golden pubescence; anterior lobe of pronotum without fine oblique furrows with punctures larger than those on anterior lobe; humeral angles of pronotum prominent, but not sharply angled. Scutellum with distinct Y-shaped elevation, with centre interrupted by dense dark ferruginous-brown punctures obscuring the pale ochraceous area in the centre, thus appearing rather ferruginous. Hemelytra macropterous and extending slightly beyond end of abdomen; costal margin of corium sinuate and distinctly serrate in basal half; apical margin of corium almost straight, but slightly concave near inner angle. Mesosternum with at most a minute spine. MEASUREMENTS (n=5). Head width 0.75 (0.62–0.82); head length 0.43 (0.37–0.50); vertex width 0.38 (0.26– 0.43); antennal measurements 0.40 (0.30–0.45): 0.46 (0.37–0.50): 0.37 (0.27–0.42): 0.39 (0.33–0.42); rostral measurements 0.25 (0.20–0.30): 0.22 (0.17–0.27): 0.17 (0.13–0.20): 0.22 (0.17–0.23). Pronotal width 1.36 (1.20–1.48); pronotal length 0.91 (0.82–1.00); scutellar width 0.77 (0.67–0.83); scutellar length 0.68 (0.63–0.72). Total body length 3.40 (2.75–3.75).

The first six male specimens noted above were evidently listed by Bergroth (1918). These could not be located by Kondorosy (2008).
