Aradus brevicornis Kormilev 1980

Description

Aradus brevicornis KORMILEV, 1980 (Figs 19-28)

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: ALBERTA: 1♀, Peace River, 18.vi.1961 (A.&R. Brooks) [CNC]. ONTARIO: 1♀, Alfred, bog edge, sifting litter around rasp.-blackberry cane, 16.iv.1985 (A. Davies) [CNC]. QUEBEC: 4♂♂, Montreal, 7.ix.1981 (E.J. Kiteley) [CNC], 1♂ [EHCI].

Described from California and recorded only from that state in HENRY & FROESCHNER (1988). The senior author compared the specimens with photographs of the male holotype which is in the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. KORMILEV (1980) stated that A. brevicornis runs to A. borealis HEIDEMANN, 1909 in Parshley’s key, but differs in that the antennae are shorter, with the second antennae segment half as long as the distance between the eyes, and the labium is much shorter, reaching half of prosternum. Females are brachypterous. The species also has a different coloration. The unreported male genitalic structures are figured for the first time.
