Gyrophaena (Gyrophaena) pseudocriddlei Klimaszewski & Webster 2009

Description. This species is externally and genitally similar to G. criddlei but may be easily distinguished by its smaller body size, short elytra, and the characteristic shape of male tergite 8 and median lobe of aedeagus with differently shaped projections on the tubus. Body length 1.4–1.5 mm, narrowly oval; head piceous; pronotum rufo-testaceous; elytra piceous with testaceous humeri and irregular small spots; abdomen rufo-testaceous, apical portion of abdomen darker. Punctation: vertex of head with several large umbilicate punctures on each side, pronotum with about four median rows of large punctures and scattered punctures elsewhere, elytra with fine, sparse punctures. Microsculpture: reticulate throughout except for pronotum, strongest on head. Antennae as illustrated (Fig. 17). Pronotum 1.3 times as wide as long. MALE: tergite 8 with two small lateral teeth, which may be reduced to small tuberosities, and two small median teeth; apical margin of disc emarginate (Fig. 113); sternite 8 broadly rounded apically (Fig. 114). Median lobe of aedeagus with elongate and straight tubus bearing two characteristic (long and short) ventral projections (Fig. 100), flagellum slightly projecting externally, sinuate in shape (Fig. 111). Paramere as illustrated (Fig. 112). FEMALE. Tergite 8 truncate apically (Fig. 116); sternite 8 rounded apically (Fig. 117); spermatheca as illustrated (Fig. 115).
