[48] or row of modified setae [49]. The apical edge of sternite VIII [50] shows sexual dimorphism, but bears no tubercles. - Male terminalia. Sternum IX [51] present, with setae [52] on apex. - Male genitalia. Aedeagus median lobe [53] bulb-like, internal sclerites [54] present, symmetrical/paired. Apical opening [55] simplified, truncated. Median face membranous [56], without apicomedial hook [57]. Parameres [58] not wrapping, without extra lobe [59] or membranous region [60], without setae [61]. Without visible pump and flagcllum [62]. - Female terminalia. Female genital appendages [63] are divided into coxites, valvifers but no styli. Sclerites (possible remnant of sternum X) [64] appear as small ring. - Female genitalia. Spermathcca [65] sclerotized. Receptacle [66] divided, not associated with visible [67] spermathecal gland, tubular portion [68] not penetrating distal bulb, umbilicus [69] absent. Sclerotized "tube" [70] can be found. Diversity and distribution - Pareiobledius is an Afrotropical genus (Southern Africa and Madagascar), with 3 described species, other new species possible but of unconfirmed status. Its characteristic habitat is on seashores, under kelp. Teropalpus SOLIER, 1849 Teropalpus SOLIER, 1849 (type species: Teropalpus suturalis SOLIER, 1849) Description - Medium-sized (2.5-4.0 mm), usually dark brown, but some species reddish to pale yellowish brown. Body very densely pubescent. Elytra parallel sided, temples developed, abdomen broadest at (or around) the 6th segment. The difference between sexes in the formation of sternum VIII is often very small, sexes are hard to recognize (males usually have broader tip of terminalia). - Head. Clypeus [1] well developed, epistomal sulcus [2] present. Eyes [3] not extending to the ventral portion of the head. Gular sulci [4] narrowly separated anteriorly, more widely separated posteriorly. Head [5] without dorsal midline keel. The mola [6] on the mandibles separated, well developed. Labrum [7] divided, transverse [8]. Setation behind front of labrum [9] in middle much smaller, irregular or missing. Dorsal seta [10] on cpipharynx absent. Hypopharynx [11] undivided, without coriaceous field [12] on ventral side. Lateral row of bulbous setae [13] present. Front of hypopharynx [14] not entirely covered with setae, no setae [15] on mid-line. Median sclerotized plate of hologlossa [16] anteriorly enlarged into a plate with central stick continuing till end. Last palpomere of maxillary palp [17] fully formed, strongly bulbous basally, digitiform sensillae [18] present on last palpomere, arranged [19] in parallel fashion. Labial palp [20] not hairy. Antennae [21] straight and [22] moderately elongated. - Thorax. Prosternai process [23] pointed, scutcllum [24] without pubescence, hypomera [25] not exposing protrochantins. - Legs. Tibia [26] with mid-tibia! spur(s), but [27] without spines or rows of stiff setae. Tarsal segmentation [28] 3-3-3 with no pseudosegment [29] and basal articles [30] uncompressed. Ventral setae [31] modified to form tarsal lobes, last tarsomere [32] only with sparse setae. - Elytra. Elytra [33] without puncture-rows, elytral suture [34] parallel, epipleural ridge [35] present. - Abdomen. Abdomen [36] with two pairs of laterosclerites. Intersegmental membrane [37] without brickwall pattern. Second sternite [38] fully developed, first sternite [39] completely absent. Tergal basolateral ridges [40] absent, carina [41] not present on any sternites. The fimbriate edge [42] on tergitc VII modified into comb. Tergum X [43] not divided, its dorsal struts [44] not developed, its basolateral parts [45] not fused to tergum IX. Secondary sexual characters. Macrocephaly [46] absent, macrothoracy [47] absent. Sternum VII without spines [48] or row of modified setae [49J. The apical edge of sternite VIII [50] shows sexual dimorphism, but bears no tubercles. - Male terminalia. Sternum IX [51] present, with setae [52] on
