Tiny creature (3,4 mm) not dissected but male as I believe.
I like the idea about Amphicnaeia pusilla Bates, 1866
from Peru, Junin dep. Satipo reg., Rio Venado env., X.2017 A. Sokolov leg.

Max,
This might also be be A. albovittatus Breuning, however as we stated in our 2020 paper "Note 1. A. albovittata Breuning, 1971, and A. flavescens Martins & Galileo, 1999 are not included in the key. The original
descriptions and photographs of the holotypes do not allow us to be sure about their identity.

Thanks Larry
I`m not sure too. All keys on this genus are based on coloration patterns. But the limits of pattern variability are often unclear, and there are no other features. So It will be more helpful to study images of the types really. In my view albovittata\flavescens are truly similar to my beetle but have a large apical tomented area on elytra. How steady (and important) it is, I don't know certainly. |
