            </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Phylacastus ancoralium is highly modified compared with its congeners. In addition to its wide geographic separation from other species (Lesotho), it can be separated from all other species of  Phylacastus via the elytra (with extremely weak to absent elytral striae), prosternum (weakly produced between forecoxae, rather than projecting more strongly beyond (Fig. 3E )), aedeagus with ancorae on the ventral surface of the parameres (Fig. 4G), and ovipositor relatively short compared to other species (ratio of ovipositor coxites I-IV to paraprocts nearly 1:1, rather than more distinctly &lt;1:1) (Fig. 5). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> This species is named for the ancorae of the male aedeagus, which in  Blaptinae are hypothesized to anchor the male genitalia during copulation. To date, this is the only species within the subtribe  Eurynotina with ancorae. </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p>Length 6-7 mm. Head: punctures separated by ~1 feature diameter. Mentum midportion slightly narrowing apically, exposing lateral wings, midportion without distinct median carina. Prothorax: pronotum finely punctate, punctures widely spaced, separated by&gt; 1 feature diameter. Hypomeron lightly wrinkled and finely punctate. Prosternal process weakly produced between forecoxae. Pterothorax: elytra width about equal to pronotal width. Elytral striae and intervals punctate; striae very weakly impressed or absent. Interval punctures fine and widely spaced (&gt;1 feature diameter), distinctly smaller than strial punctures. Elytral tubercles absent. Abdomen: ventrite V sulcus narrowly separated from apical border. Terminalia: male: parameres tapering apically, fused basally with narrow opening at apex exposing median lobe. Each paramere bearing a small, ventral medial ancora. Female: Ratio of ovipositor coxites I-IV to paraprocts nearly 1:1. Bursa copulatrix not bilobate, accessory gland present near-to spermatheca, accessory pouch present.</p>

            <p>Notes.</p>
            <p> Koch described both  Phylacastus crypticoides and  P. pretoriensis (1954a), differentiating them from the already described  P. striolatus and his additional species  P. rhodesianus based on the following:  P. pretoriensis with a basal pronotal margin that is reduced medially, and  P. crypticoides with a cariniform structure of the mentum and a more apically positioned sulcus on abdominal ventrite V. Upon investigation here, the margination of the pronotal base, while variable, appears to be consistently present in all species with no uniform reduction in restricted populations or collection events examined here. The sulcus of abdominal ventrite V is also consistent between specimens of both of  Koch’s species. Furthermore,  P. crypticoides and  P. pretoriensis specimens compared with his type material bear the carina attributed to  P. crypticoides . As such, we have decided here to synonymize the two species under  P. crypticoides . </p>

            <p> Genus  Phylacastus Fairmaire</p>
            <p> Phylacastus Fairmaire, 1897: 116. Koch 1954a: 275; 1954b: 2; 1956: 27;  Kamiński 2016: 245. </p>
            <p>Type species.</p>
            <p> Phylacastus striolatus Fairmaire; by monotypy. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Within  Eurynotina ,  Phylacastus largely resembles  Eurynotus and  Capidium Koch. All three have relatively sharp basal pronotal angles, rather than broadly rounded as is the case in the rest of  Eurynotina (  Kamiński 2016: fig. 2). The only other exception is  Oncotus Solier which, while some representatives have basal angles of the pronotum similarly shaped, is separable by prosternal process shape (rounded rather than angular in lateral view (  Kamiński 2016), body shape (much rounder/transverse than  Phylacastus ), tibial morphology (foretibia greatly expanded apically and with a sharp lateral projection;  Kamiński 2016), and coloration (species may be bicolored and/or very pale or testaceous in color).  Phylacastus can be easily separated from all other subtribal representatives by the presence of (at most) weak tubercles on the apical declivity of the elytra (Figs 1, 2), the form of the prosternal process which is angular rather than rounded in lateral view (  Kamiński 2016: fig. 2D), and the pronotum with basal angles present rather than absent/rounded) (  Kamiński 2016: fig. 2J). </p>
            <p> Eurynotus , the most closely affiliated genus according to Koch (1954a), can be separated from  Phylacastus by body size (  Eurynotus ~9-20 mm long and ~5-12 mm wide, versus  Phylacastus 4-8 mm long and ~2.75-4 mm wide (Koch 1954a;  Kamiński 2016); pronotal hind angles (  Eurynotus prominently produced often rearward projecting; less prominent and not rearwardly projected in  Phylacastus ;  Kamiński 2016), tibial morphology (  Eurynotus with slender/narrow tibiae lacking coarse spines on ventral surface of foretibia; dorsoventrally flattened and apically expanded tibiae with coarse spines on the underside of the foretibia in  Phylacastus (  Kamiński 2016), elytral sculpturing (  Eurynotus with coarse or well-defined tubercles in most species; while most species of  Phylacastus lack well-defined tubercles (  Kamiński 2016). Finally,  Eurynotus lacks a subapical sulcus on abdominal ventrite V, which is present in all  Phylacastus species (Fig. 3F, G). </p>
            <p> Capidium can be separated from  Phylacastus most reliably via the structure of the prosternal process and abdominal ventrite V (prosternal process rounded and not produced in  Capidium , angular and produced in  Phylacastus (  Kamiński 2016), and subapical sulcus absent in  Capidium (present in  Phylacastus ); additionally, although  Capidium also is defined by angular basal angles of the pronotum (  Kamiński 2016), the angles are usually more produced. Finally, the elytral sculpturing and tuberculation of representatives of  Capidium (when present) are stronger than in  Phylacastus . </p>
            <p>Genus redescription.</p>
            <p>Length 4-8 mm. Shining to dull; colored tenebrous; reddish to dark brown/black. Head: epistoma with well-defined median notch. Transition between clypeus and frons gradual and smooth along lateral edge, or with slight depression. Coarsely punctate, punctures large and closely spaced, separated by ≤ 1 feature diameter. Mentum with enlarged, ventrally projecting middle portion parallel-sided to slightly narrowing apically with reduced/slightly hidden lateral wings. Gula with stridulatory file. Eye constricted in middle and reniform, with strong to weakly impressed sulcus situated around posterior perimeter of dorsal lobe. Antennae with 11 antennomeres, terminal members forming weak club. Prothorax: pronotum base straight, with basal angles roundly produced. Without lateral depression or flattening along margins. Hypomeron at most only finely sculptured and finely punctured, dull to shining. Prosternal process angulate in lateral view, weakly produced or rounded at apex, with clear sulcus running perimeter, projecting at most only weakly toward midcoxae. Pterothorax: scutellar shield small and transversely triangular. Elytra not costate, with or without shallow or weakly defined punctate striae. Intervals punctate, without microtubercles; weak to well-defined tubercles (when present) only on apical declivity. Interval X terminating before reaching elytra base. Epipleura without microtubercules, broad basally, narrowing apically. Apterous. Abdomen: punctate. Ventrite V with sulcus running parallel to apical perimeter. Legs: femora slightly curved and expanded toward apex. Tibiae dorsoventrally compressed. Meso- and metatibia slightly curved. Foretibia dilated triangularly toward apex with coarse spines underneath. Male terminalia: tegmen bipartite with or without ancorae (small ancorae present in one species); basal portion membranous ventrally; dorsally with small, triangular membranous field at base of apical portion. Parameres fused dorsally at base, apical opening (in dorsal view) small or broad (Fig. 4). In lateral view, parameres flattened toward apex, with or without slight curvature. Female terminalia: paraprocts nearly as long or slightly longer than coxites I-IV, coxite IV reflected dorsally with gonostyli present (Fig. 5); bursa copulatrix divided into two sections by median constriction (bilobate) or not (Fig. 6), with or without additional "accessory pouch" situated near to spermatheca and accessory glands.</p>

            </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> As of this revision, this is the smallest species of the genus (4-6 mm). In addition to its size, this species is further defined by the presence of well-defined tubercles on the apical declivity of the elytra-a trait shared only by  P. rhodesianus , which is larger and can be further differentiated by 1) punctures on elytral intervals (more numerous and dense in  P. rhodesianus ); 2) the shape of the mentum is broad, not tapered, further concealing the lateral wings in  P. rhodesianus (Fig. 3C), tapers apically, exposing lateral wings in  P. makskacymirowi (Fig. 3B); 3) aedeagus with a wide space between parameres, exposing large portion of median lobe in  P. rhodesianus (Fig. 4C), narrow exposing only the tip of the median lobe in  P. makskacymirowi (Fig. 4D). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>Named after young bug enthusiast Maksymilian Jan Kacymirow (born on December 17, 2014 in Warsaw, Poland).</p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p>Length 4-6 mm. Head: punctures separated by &lt;1 diameter. Mentum midportion medially raised but without distinct median carina, laterally tapering slightly toward apex, lateral wings exposed. Prothorax: pronotum finely punctate, punctures smaller and widely spaced, separated by&gt; 1 diameter. Hypomeron very finely punctate and lightly sculptured/wrinkled. Prosternal process produced between forecoxae. Pterothorax: elytra wider than pronotal width. Elytral striae and intervals punctate; striae clearly impressed. Interval punctures fine, widely spaced (&gt;1 diameter), distinctly smaller than strial punctures. Elytra distinctly tuberculate on apical declivity. Abdomen: ventrite V sulcus narrowly separated from apical border. Terminalia: male: parameres tapering apically, fused basally with narrow opening at apex exposing median lobe. Each paramere bearing a small, weak, subapical suture (Fig. 4F). Female: ovipositor slightly elongate (ratio of ovipositor coxites I-IV to paraprocts &lt;1:1). Bursa copulatrix not bilobate, accessory gland present near-to spermatheca, accessory pouch absent.</p>

            <p> (MNHN). "  9.VI.1970 Vumba SUD RHODESIE Cl. Besnard leg. 8.VI.1970 Inyanga SUD RHODESIE Cl. Besnard leg." (10 specimens) . </p>
            <p>Redescription.</p>
            <p>Length 6-8 mm. Head: punctures separated by ≤ 1 diameter. Mentum midportion broad, concealing lateral wings, midportion without distinct median carina. Prothorax: pronotum punctate, punctures closely spaced, separated by ~1 diameter. Hypomeron very lightly textured, without clear punctation. Prosternal process produced between forecoxae. Pterothorax: elytra width about equal to pronotal width. Elytral striae and intervals punctate; striae impressed. Interval punctures fine, closely spaced (~1 diameter), distinctly smaller than strial punctures. Elytral tubercles present on apical declivity. Abdomen: ventrite V sulcus narrowly separated from apical border. Terminalia: male: parameres converging apically, fused basally with deep and wide opening at apex exposing median lobe (Fig. 4C). Female: ovipositor slightly elongate (ratio of ovipositor coxites I-IV to paraprocts &lt;1:1). Bursa copulatrix bilobate, accessory gland present near-to spermatheca, accessory pouch absent.</p>

            <p>Redescription.</p>
            <p>Length 8 mm. Head: punctures separated by &lt;1 diameter. Mentum midportion broad, concealing lateral wings, midportion without distinct median carina. Prothorax: pronotum punctate, punctures closely spaced, separated by ≤ 1 diameter. Hypomeron lightly wrinkled. Prosternal process produced between forecoxae. Pterothorax: elytra width slightly greater than pronotal width. Elytral striae and intervals punctate; striae impressed. Interval punctures closely spaced (~1 diameter), smaller than strial punctures. Elytral tubercles absent; apical declivity with at most weak bumps or callosities. Abdomen: ventrite V sulcus widely separated from apical border. Terminalia: male: parameres converging apically, fused basally with small opening at apex exposing median lobe. Female: ovipositor slightly elongate (ratio of ovipositor coxites I-IV to paraprocts &lt;1:1). Bursa copulatrix bilobate, accessory gland present near-to spermatheca, accessory pouch present.</p>

            <p>Note.</p>
            <p>While Fairmaire did not specify the number of specimens he examined in his original description, he did make mention of the collector (E. Simon) and locality, making specimens of his syntype series identifiable. Two specimens from MNHN are here designated as the lectotypes to fix the taxonomic status of the species.</p>
