Ischnopodadrugmandi Pa ś nik, sp. n. ( Figs. 58–60 )

Type material. Holotype: ♂: Bolivia, Yuracaris ( IRSNB) . Paratype: ♀: same data as the holotype ( IRSNB) .

Description. Body. Length 2.5–2.6 mm, convex, parallel­sided, glossy; body colour brown, elytra brownish red, legs red, antennae brown with first antennomere red.

Head quadrate in outline, convex, narrowly and shallowly impressed medially; eyes moderately large, moderately protruding from lateral contours of head, length of each seen from above subequal to that of postocular region; surface of head without microsculpture; puncturation fine and dense. Antennae weakly increased in width apically, antennomere 3 shorter than 2, antennomeres 4–10 longer than wide, antennomere 11 nearly conical.

Pronotum slightly transverse, lateral sides gradually narrowed in straight line to obtuse hind angles; before base with small and shallow transverse impression; surface without microsculpture; puncturation very fine, pinprick­like and dense; pubescence at midline directed entirely anteriorly.

Elytra subquadrate, at suture as long as pronotum at midline; surface lacking microsculpture; puncturation fine and dense.

Abdomen parallel­sided, bases of tergites 3–5 each with deep transverse impression, impressions coarsely and densely punctuate, tergal puncturation fine and moderately dense, surface without microsculpture.

Male. Aedeagus as in Figs. 58–59 .

Female. Spermatheca as in Fig. 60 .

Remarks. Ischnopoda drugmandi is closely related to I. impressa from which it can be distinguished by antennomere 10 longer than wide, the pronotal surface not impressed medially and particularly by the shape of the genitalia.

Etymology. The species is dedicated to Didier Drugmand (Brussels), a specialist in Staphylinidae , who made this material available for study.

Distribution. The species is known only from the type locality in Bolivia.
