SMICRONYX ABNORMIS GROUP 
Description: Body elongate ovate, moderately stout. Prothorax 
subparallel at sides until narrowed before apex; disk closely but not 
deeply punctate, covered with broadly ovate and elongate pointed 
scales. Rostra of both sexes fairly stout; coarsely punctured and 
squamose behind antennal insertions, smoother and more shining 
before antennal insertions; more strongly tapered before antennal 
insertions in female than in male. Elytra moderately convex, humeri 
prominent, declivities barely distinguishable; intervals covered with 
two to three rows of broad, subtruncate scales. Median lobe of male 
genitalia very elongate, much longer than internal sac (fig. 88). Arms 
of spiculum ventrale of female genitalia joined to form a V (fig. 136). 
Discussion: S. abnormis resembles the species of the S. ovipennis 
group in having a fairly stout body form, stout rostrum, and elongate 
male genitalia. However, the prothorax is not very convex, and the 
elytra are not inflated in S. abnormis, as they are in the species of 
the S. ovipennis group. Because S. abnormis does not share all or 
most of the general features of the S. ovipennis group or of any other 
group of species in the subgenus Pseudosmicronyz, it is treated here 
as a separate group. 
Map 14 gives the distribution for this group.
