A New Species of Desmopachria (S. STR.) From the Antillean-Caribbean Region (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)
Abstract
The small beetle described below is probably classified in many collections as either Desmopachria grana (Aubé) or Desmopachria nitida Babington. However, the male external genitalia (Fig. 1) are unique among the species of the typical subgenus of Desmopachria. The species is closest to Desmopachria glabricula Sharp, but the genitalia are distinctive (Fig. 2).
