This small (2.4 mm long) species is immediately recognized by the pair of frontal carinae being strong, distant from the eyes, each arcing toward the meson and becoming approximate between the eyes, and then diverging anterolaterally. A ventral incision of each compound eye is broadly triangular and extends approximately to the center of each eye.</p> <p>Specimens examined. BAHAMAS: Andros Is., Forfar Field Sta., nr Stafford Creek, 22-28-vii-2006, MC Thomas, TRSmith, UV trap in coastal coppice (1, FSCA). The holotype was examined along with high-resolution images (MCZ Type Database 2014).</p> <p>Notes. This is the “ Aulonothroscus sp. 1 ” of Turnbow and Thomas (2008). Horn (1885) described A. convergens from Georgia. Blanchard (1917), Leng (1920), and Kirk (1969) listed the species from District of Columbia, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, and Tennessee. This report of A. convergens from The Bahamas provides a new country record.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F08798EF7BFFC8C88EFE693FD8FB9D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Male. Body (Fig. 1) 2.7–2.8 mm long, 1.3–1.4 mm wide; elongate-ovate, broadest across humeri, shallowly convex, shining, dorsum piceus, venter castaneus, and antennae, palpomeres and tarsi brunneopiceus; pubescence pale cinereus.</p> <p>Head larger punctures separated 0.2–0.5 times own diameter, interpunctural spaces finely punctured; frontal carinae close to and curving around eyes, diverging around antennal fossae to anterolateral angles of frons. Antenna capitate; antennomere 2 subequal in length to antennomeres 3 and 4 together, and 1.5 times as wide; antennomeres 3–8 short, subcylindrical; antennomeres 9–11 abruptly forming a subserratiform club, densely setose.</p> <p>Pronotum sparsely, moderately punctured, interpunctural spaces twice puncture diameter, minutely punctured; transverse antescutellar region ill-defined, minutely punctured; antescutellar region with fine median ridge, indistinct paramedial impressions; hind angle dorsal carina fine, subparallel to lateral margin, reaching about 60% of distance to anterior margin. Elytra 3.1 times mesal length of pronotum. Stria 1 finely, shallowly grooved; striae 2–4 of fine to moderate serial punctures; striae 5–8 finely, shallowly grooved; striae 8–9 deeply impressed in basal half, fine apically. Intervals flat minutely, confusedly punctured. Metaventrite finely, sparsely punctured on disc, larger laterally; densely pubescent; transverse tarsal sulcus shallowly arching basally, strongly arcing laterally to lateroposterior angle. Middle and hind tibiae with fringe of long setae along dorsal angle. Tarsomere 3 slightly dilated apically; tarsomere 4 with membranous ventral lobe extending about half-length of tarsomere 5.</p> <p>Abdominal ventrites finely punctured on disc, coarsely punctured laterally. Aedeagus (Fig. 2) with basal piece 0.55 times total length, two large ventrolateral setae at shoulder, and deeply, narrowly incised basally; median lobe 0.33 times total length, evenly attenuate apically, apex subtruncate, 0.75 times length of lateral lobe; each lateral lobe 0.45 times total length, attenuate, apex slightly incurved, acuminate, ventrally with dense brush of long setae.</p> <p>Female unknown.</p> <p>Type Material. HOLOTYPE, male, labeled “ BAHAMAS: Great Inagua, Matthew Town, at light, 9 July 2007, R. Turnbow (FSCA).</p> <p>Paratype: BAHAMAS, Great Inagua, 2-3 mi. N. Salt Pond Hill, 14-vii-2007, blacklight trap, Thomas, Turnbow &amp; Smith (1, FSCA).</p> <p>Etymology. The species epithet “ inawa ” is a noun in apposition and comes from the Taino term “ i na wa ” for the island of Great Inagua, which translates to “small eastern island” (Granberry 1991; Granberry and Vescelius 2004).</p> <p>Discussion. This species represents part of the “ Aulonothroscus sp. 2 ” specimen series of Turnbow and Thomas (2008). In the species key by Blanchard (1917), A. inawa fails to trace through the key due to the combination of entire compound eyes, carinate frons, and long prosternal carinae.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F08798EF7BFFCEC88EFBC93FB5FE1E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Male. Similar to A. inawa, except: Body (Fig. 3) 3.2–3.3 mm long, 1.5–1.6 mm wide; obovate, broadest subhumerally, shallowly convex, shining, piceus to nigrous, except tarsi brunneopiceus; pubescence cinereus, decumbent, with strial setae suberect.</p> <p>Head moderately coarsely punctured, interpunctural spaces microreticulate; with a pair of fine subparallel vertical carinae on frons, diverging around antennal fossae to anterolateral angles of frons.</p> <p>Pronotum 1.9 times wider than long; sparsely, coarsely punctured; interpunctural spaces subequal to puncture diameter, microreticulate; transverse antescutellar region smooth, sparsely micropunctate, extending laterad to elytral stria 3, with fine median ridge separating two rounded shallow paramedial depressions; hind angle dorsal carina subparallel to lateral margin, reaching about 47% of distance to anterior margin. Elytra 2.9 times length of pronotum along meson. Striae finely, shallowly engraved from base to apex; marginal striae deeply impressed in basal half. Intervals confusedly punctured basally, forming moderately punctured single series apically.</p> <p>Abdominal ventrites coarsely punctured. Aedeagus (Fig. 4) with basal piece 0.60 times total length, deeply; median lobe 0.34 times total length, 0.84 times length of lateral lobe; lateral lobe 0.41 times total length.</p> <p>Female unknown.</p> <p>Type Material. HOLOTYPE, male, labeled “ BAHAMAS: Eleuthera, Rainbow Bay, xi-1986, J.B. Wiley, malaise (FSCA).</p> <p>Paratype labeled identically to the holotype (1, FSCA).</p> <p>Etymology. The species epithet “ sibateo ” is a noun in apposition and is taken from the Taino name of the island of provenance, now called Eleuthera. Sibateo means “distant rocky land” (Granberry 1991; Granberry and Vescelius 2004).</p> <p>Discussion. This species represents part of the “ Aulonothroscus sp. 2 ” of Turnbow and Thomas (2008). In Blanchard (1917), A. sibateo fails to fit the key due to the combination of larger body size, entire compound eyes, head with frontal carinae, and the prosternum with strong longitudinal carinae.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F08798EF7DFFCEC88EFE493E0DFA3E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
