Transverse, dark, wider than pronotum. Frons flat. Palpi orange. Punctuation relatively sparse (compared to pronotum), punctures large and shallow. Pubescence double, dense, white, homogeneous, largely covering the tegument, converging toward the midline between the eyes. Eyes weakly convex, forming a continuous curve with the frons, not reaching the posterior edge of the head in side view, separated from the border by a thin strip of tegument (at least the width of two rows of ommatidia; Figure 2 q). Antennae (Figure 2 h). Thick, a third shorter than elytra, black, except the first two antennomeres, which are dark brown and the tip of the last antennomere, which is orange. Slightly and regularly thicker toward apex, antennomeres short, conical, last antennomere twice as long as penultimate, rounded. Pronotum. Convex and transverse, marked by a strong impression with two pairs of dimples just anterior to the posterior border. Sides regularly curved. Surface, densely punctuated, the space between punctures reduced to ridges, punctures of intermediate size, deep. Pubescence dense, double, golden anteriorly and white in the posterior third, with a sharp, sinuate boundary between anterior and posterior. Elytra. Length: ♂ holotype: 1.30 mm. Long, sides subparallel, humeral callus well marked. Punctuation strong and deep, but less dense than on the pronotum (space between punctures, however, smaller than the puncture diameters). Disc slightly convex, with a broad callus around the scutellum. Pubescence dense, wholly, golden, comprised of setae borne from the punctuation and interspersed pruinosity, with a distinct pattern of white pubescence on the elytra, formed of a large hook connecting the humeral callus to the middle of the external margin on each elytron. Scutellum covered with white pubescence. Legs. Simple (no apparent sexual characters). Femora black with apex progressively lighter, orange. Tibiae dark in their central portion, base and apex paler. Tarsae yellow. Aedeagus (Figure 2 a). Large. Sides slightly divergent in from the base to the apical fourth in dorsal view. Apex sub-triangular, with slight sinuosities on the sides. Long, thick and blunt accessory lobes prominent on each side of the apicale.	en	Gompel, Nicolas (2021): New Mixaderus species from the Mascarene Islands (Coleoptera: Aderidae).

Appendages orange. Head. Transverse, dark brown on the frons to orange anteriorly between the eyes, slightly wider than pronotum, with large eyes in both sexes. Frons strongly depressed. Palpi orange. Punctuation dense, spaces between punctures equivalent to the puncture diameters, punctures small but deep. Pubescence double, dense, with yellow setae and a whitish-silver pruinosity largely masking the tegument. Eyes interrupting the posterior edge of the head in side view (Figure 2 s). Antennae (Figure 2 j). Thin, half (♀) to 3 / 5 (♂) the length of the elytra, entirely orange, pubescent. Antennomeres 2 ‒ 8 regularly cylindrical, as long as wide, antennomeres 9 ‒ 10 transverse and conical, and antennomere 11 thick, more than twice longer than penultimate. Pronotum. Trapezoidal, with larger base against the elytra, sub-quadrate. Convex, marked by a pair of strong and confluent dimples just anterior to the posterior border. Sides straight. Surface, densely punctuated with relatively small deep punctures separated by less than their diameters. Pubescence dense, double, composed of short appressed setae arising from the punctures, and interspersed pruinosity masking most of the tegument. The pruinosity is yellowish, except in the dimples where it is silver. Elytra. Length: ♂: 1.41 ± 0.09 mm (n = 2); ♀: 1.34 ± 0.19 mm (n = 2). Long, sides subparallel, with humeral callus well marked.

Pubescence dense, wholly, golden, comprised of setae borne from the punctuation and interspersed pruinosity, with a distinct and complex pattern of white-creamish pubescence the elytra. The pattern is composed of a large polygonal patch on the disc, a convoluted strip running laterally on each elytron and connecting the humeral callus to the middle of the declivity, and an apical domain. The different pattern elements are confluent in some specimens, but the boundaries between these pale markings and the brown background are sharp. Scutellum covered with white-creamish pubescence. Legs. Simple, dark orange. Sexual dimorphism. Foretarsae somewhat thicker and antennae longer in the ♂. Aedeagus (Figure 2 c). Progressively and regularly tapered from base to apex, phallobase long, a third of the phallus’ length. Accessory lobes of the apicale present, not reaching the apex of phallus.	en	Gompel, Nicolas (2021): New Mixaderus species from the Mascarene Islands (Coleoptera: Aderidae).

E4241704FFDCB144A8B7D9B9FE1CA964.taxon	description	Description. Body length. ♀ holotype: 1.5 mm. Body pale yellow, head light brown, pronotum and elytra with weak markings. Appendages yellowish-orange with darker femora. Head. Transverse, light brown, distinctly wider than pronotum. Frons weakly convex. Palpi yellowish-orange. Punctuation extremely fine, dense, punctures small. Pubescence double, dense, wholly, whitish, homogeneous, largely covering the tegument. Eyes well separated from the posterior edge of the head in side view (Figure 2 v). Antennae (Figure 2 m). Short, thin, entirely yellowish, pubescent, with antennomeres 7 ‒ 11 forming a weak club. Antennomeres 8 ‒ 10 strongly transverse, antennomere 11 thick, more than twice longer than penultimate. Pronotum. Small, distinctly transverse, side straight and converging posteriorly, trapezoidal. Disc weakly convex, with a broad patch of slightly darker pigmentation. A pair of very shallow dimples just anterior to the posterior border. Surface mat, densely punctuated, punctures deep and relatively big, the space between punctures equivalent to the puncture diameters. Pubescence double, whitish, not masking the tegument. Elytra. Length: ♀ holotype: 1.08 mm. Long, sides subparallel, with humeral callus well marked. Punctuation strong and deep, dense, space between punctures smaller than the puncture diameters. Disc convex. Pubescence dense, white, comprised of setae borne from the punctuation and interspersed pruinosity, only partially masking the tegument. A distinct pattern of light brown pigmentation the elytra, comprised of a mark on each side of the scutellum, an uninterrupted transversal band at the onset of the posterior declivity, and an apical darkening. Legs. Simple, tarsae of all legs yellowish, foretibiae yellowish, tibiae of mid- and hindlegs yellowish, with their proximal halves brown, all femora brown in their proximal halves. Aedeagus. Male unknown.	en	Gompel, Nicolas (2021): New Mixaderus species from the Mascarene Islands (Coleoptera: Aderidae). Zootaxa 4969 (1): 166-174, DOI: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.4969.1.9
