Sternite VIII with apophysis 1.6 times as long as length of arm (Fig. 18E).</p> <p>Range of measures (in mm, male/female)</p> <p>Total length, 8.3–10.5 /8.5–11.7; prothorax length, 1.5–2.0 /1.5–2.2; prothorax width, 2.4–3.1/ 2.2–3.4; elytral length, 6.0–7.5 / 6.4–8.6; humeral width, 3.1–4.0 / 3.1–4.5.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama (Fig. 19).</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>Alcathousiella giesberti sp. nov. and A. polyrhaphoides have rather similar pubescent elytral patterns. However, the new species can be differentiated from the latter by its strongly triangularly projected outer angle of the elytra (thorn shaped), by the male protarsomeres less densely edged with bristly setae, which is shorter and brownish; and by the less thickened femoral claves. In A. polyrhaphoides the outer angle of elytral apices is triangularly projected (Fig. 15), the protarsomeres in males have denser, longer blackish setae (Fig. 11), and the femoral claves are thicker. Besides morphological their geographical distribution also differs. Alcathousiella giesberti sp. nov. is restricted to Central America, while A. polyrhaphoides occurs in South America (Fig. 19). By the elytral apex of the species identified and figured as A. polyrhaphoides by Maes et al. (2010), it is possible to note that this species is actually A. giesberti sp. nov. Likewise, the species identified as A. polyrhaphoides by Swift et al. (2010) for Costa Rica, is A. giesberti sp. nov. (These specimens are figured at Bezark 2020). In a specimen from Panama, the elytral apex projection is less acute (similar to A. polyrhaphoides), however, the length and density of the protarsomeres setae and the thickness femoral claves, clearly indicate that it is the new species. The genitalia morphology of males of the two species is extremely similar and characters have not been found to separate them.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D293124268512FFDC496E8FD8CF87E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
