Description

Leptostylus lilliputanus Thomson, 1865

(Fig. 7)

Leptostylus lilliputanus Thomson, 1865: 545; Lacordaire, 1872: 772; Thomson, 1878: 15 (type); Martínez, 2000: 93 (distr.); Monné & Giesbert, 1994: 250 (checklist); Monné, 1995: 98 (cat.); Monné, 2005: 62 (cat.); 2021: 92 (cat.).

Thomson (1865) briefly described L. lilliputanus as follows (translated): “ Colombia. Length, 3.0 mm, width, 1.5 mm. Brown, punctate; elytra with two oblique grayish pubescent band [considering both elytra], then light brown [toward apex]; legs yellow with brown maculae; species very distinct.” Apparently, it is not a true Leptostylus. However, the photograph and original description do not allow for the recognition of the genus. I was not able to find a species that matches L. lilliputanus in any known genus of American Acanthocinini.
