Diagnosis. Pronotum finely punctate, punctures separated by more than a puncture diameter (Fig 2P). Parameres as long as penis guide (Figs. 2H–I).

Description. Length: 1.1 mm, width: 0.6 mm. Color reddish-brown, elytral disc with diffuse circular dark reddish spot; dorsal surface clothed with long, sparse and decumbent setae mixed with short setae; punctures fine on pronotum and coarse on elytra (Fig. 2A). Head elongate, flattened in lateral view, 1.5 times as long as wide; dorsal surface polished with coarse punctures separated by about 1.0 puncture diameter, smaller and sparse near labrum. Eyes prominent, reduced to about 50 coarse facets; interocular distance about 4.0 times eye transverse diameter; temple (Lawrence et al. 2011) about 1.5 times eye length (Figs. 2G, 3A). Maxillary palpomere 4 about 3.0 times longer than 3. Pronotum transverse, 0.5 times as long as wide, widest at base; posterior angles acute, lateral edges mostly smooth; surface polished, disc finely punctate, punctures smaller than on elytra and separated by about 1.5–2.0 times a puncture diameter (Figs. 2P, 3C); hypomeron with few punctures (Fig. 3D). Scutellum shield-like (Fig. 3F). Elytral surface polished with coarse punctures, separated by about 1.0–1.5 diameters, punctures bigger than pronotal ones (Figs. 2Q, 3G–H). Metaventral disc with fine punctures, postcoxal lines margined with coarse punctures (Figs. 2M, 3E). Tarsi cryptotetramerous (Fig. 4B). Abdominal ventrite 1 about as long as ventrites 2–4, postcoxal lines margined with punctures; ventrites 2–5 with fine punctures on disc, ventrite 5 with apex broadly rounded (Fig. 4A). Male genitalia: parameres elongate and rounded to apex, almost as long as penis guide, apex setose; penis guide narrowing to apex, in lateral view triangular (Figs. 2I). Penis long and thin, bent at basal fourth then straight with pointed apex; capsule short, about two times as long as wide (Figs. 2J–L).

Female: Abdominal ventrite 5 with rounded apex. Genitalia with coxites elongate (Fig. 2O), about 5 times as long as wide, styli terminal. Spermatheca not examined.

Etymology. Named after Adam ṡlipi ṅski (CSIRO, ANIC), friend and tireless coleopterist, for his contribution to the knowledge of the world Coccinellidae.

Distribution. Chile, Colchagua, Concepción and Malleco Provinces, from 34ºS to 39ºS (Fig. 5).
