03B987DFFFFFFFFCFC94C1412EEEE6BB.taxon	description	(Fig. 1 B, L; character 13: 1 and Fig. 5 B, C) ‘ flagellum head elongate, angulated anteriorly, and fusing’. The body shape slightly rounded and the penile flagellum with a triangular flagellum head suggest that these species are probably closely related. Mycotretus apicalis and M. melanophthalmus also resemble Mycotretus peruvianus (not included here) in the nearly rounded, convex body and the nearly circular plate-like mentum. According to Skelley & Powell (2018), these features are present in Mycomystes Gorham and its relationship with those Mycotretus must be checked in future works.	en	Pecci-Maddalena, Italo Salvatore De Castro, Lopes-Andrade, Cristiano, Skelley, Paul (2020): The metendosternite and penile flagellum: two unexplored character systems of pleasing fungus beetles (Coleoptera: Erotylidae).

03B987DFFFFFFFFCFC94C0162E4EE54C.taxon	description	(Fig. 1 N, O; character 12: 1, Fig. 5 E) ‘ outer edge of posterior borders of flagellum head with two parallel, narrowed and sclerotized tips’. The remaining characters of the flagellum in these species are similar to other Mycotretus species, such as M. pebasensis Crotch, 1876, M. separandus Crotch, 1876 and M. egae Crotch, 1876 (not included here), although it is not clear if ‘ character 12: 1 ’ is also present on those species.	en	Pecci-Maddalena, Italo Salvatore De Castro, Lopes-Andrade, Cristiano, Skelley, Paul (2020): The metendosternite and penile flagellum: two unexplored character systems of pleasing fungus beetles (Coleoptera: Erotylidae).

03B987DFFFFFFFFCFC94C6432F33E47A.taxon	description	(Fig. 1 M, R; character 14: 1 and Fig. 5 H) ‘ inner contour of lateral borders of flagellum head almost contiguous’. This feature was observed in other Mycotretus, for instance, M. tigrinus (Olivier, 1792), M. prioteloides Mader, 1942 (Pecci-Maddalena & Lopes-Andrade, 2018 a), M. sallei Crotch, 1876, M. spadiceus Gorham, 1888 and M. bipunctatus Gorham, 1888 (not included in this study). Except for M. bipunctatus, which has a somewhat widened body, the remaining species have an elongate body and are slightly oval. Mycotretus lesueuri is the type species of Mycotretus, so its morphology and that of its direct relatives may be regarded as typical for Mycotretus, in the event of future taxonomic changes.	en	Pecci-Maddalena, Italo Salvatore De Castro, Lopes-Andrade, Cristiano, Skelley, Paul (2020): The metendosternite and penile flagellum: two unexplored character systems of pleasing fungus beetles (Coleoptera: Erotylidae).

03B987DFFFFFFFFDFC94C2D728BBE147.taxon	description	(Fig. 1 S, T, U; character 15: 1 and Fig. 5 I, J) ‘ anterior borders of flagellum head with a ‘ head-piece’ structure’. This feature was observed in other Mycotretus, such as M. pecari Lacordaire, 1842, M. psittacus Lacordaire, 1842 and M. tricolor Crotch, 1876 (not included here). All of these species are larger in body size than most Mycotretus and the larger males have arched metatibiae.	en	Pecci-Maddalena, Italo Salvatore De Castro, Lopes-Andrade, Cristiano, Skelley, Paul (2020): The metendosternite and penile flagellum: two unexplored character systems of pleasing fungus beetles (Coleoptera: Erotylidae).

03B987DFFFFFFFFCFC94C5742E9AE24E.taxon	description	(Fig. 1 G, Q; character 17: 1 and Fig. 5 L). ‘ virga with a median membranous portion containing a slight sinuosity’. This feature was observed in other Mycotretus, for instance, M. chilensis (Crotch, 1876) (Pecci-Maddalena & Lopes-Andrade, 2017) and M. episcaphoides Crotch, 1876 (not included in this study).	en	Pecci-Maddalena, Italo Salvatore De Castro, Lopes-Andrade, Cristiano, Skelley, Paul (2020): The metendosternite and penile flagellum: two unexplored character systems of pleasing fungus beetles (Coleoptera: Erotylidae).

03B987DFFFFEFFFDFF1EC5442925E23B.taxon	description	(Figs 1 H, J, P; character 16: 1, Fig. 5 K) ‘ outer edge of the anterior borders of head with a pair of lobes’. This feature was observed in other Mycotretus, such as M. expressus Kuhnt, 1910, M. dorsonotatus Lacordaire, 1841 and M. fasciolatus Lacordaire, 1842 (not included in the present study). All of these species are oval, usually with four (or more) pronotal black spots and free or fused elytral spots.	en	Pecci-Maddalena, Italo Salvatore De Castro, Lopes-Andrade, Cristiano, Skelley, Paul (2020): The metendosternite and penile flagellum: two unexplored character systems of pleasing fungus beetles (Coleoptera: Erotylidae).
