1978] Thayer & Newton — Revision of Genus Glypholoma 49 
made in Nothofagus forest (also two specimens from Nothofagus- 
Araucaria forest, one from Araucaria forest), and several of the 
dung and carrion traps were set near streams (S. Peck, pers. 
comm.). Scheerpeltz (1972), whose records are mainly small series, 
reports this species (as Lathrimaeodes pustulipenne) primarily from 
ground litter in forests of Nothofagus, Libocedrus, and other trees, 
and also mentions one record from an old rabbit carcass in such a 
forest. These beetles seem to live in forest litter, but are strongly 
attracted to carrion and dung. Nothing is known about their feeding 
habits. 
Glypholoma temporale, new species 
With the characters of the genus as described above. 
Moderately convex dorsally, shape as in fig. 3, with central areas 
of pronotum and elytra brown, their lateral margins and the elytral 
apices yellowish, head and dorsum of abdomen between these two 
colors, slightly reddish; venter of body darker than dorsum, legs 
slightly paler than head. Head and pronotum with pale scattered 
short fine setae, elytra glabrous between macrosetae, tibiae and tarsi 
fairly densely setose. Length: 2.9 ± 0.1 mm; width: 1.3 ± 0.02 mm 
(N = 6). 
Head capsule as in fig. 57, epistomal suture angulate, lacking 
median stem, temples and lateral nuchal constriction present. 
Antennal length about 1.3 times head width, first four antennal 
segments without dense pubescence, apical segments broader than 
basal, but distinct club difficult to delimit (see fig. 53). Ocellar 
diameter about 0.09 times head width. Labrum slightly emarginate 
anteriorly. Maxillary palp with fourth segment about 2.5 times as 
long as third, slightly wider at middle than third. 
Pronotum as in fig. 3, with very shallow paramedian and lateral 
depressions, lateral margins explanate. Prosternal surface finely 
rugose, without median longitudinal carina. Mesosternum similar 
to that of pustuliferum (figs. 34, 36), with microsculpture; cavities 
for reception of procoxae about two-fifths the length of the 
mesosternum, mesosternal process narrow, extending just over half 
way between mesocoxae. Metasternum convex, lacking microsculp- 
ture but with large punctures containing minute setae, antecoxal 
sutures long, extending three-fourths the width of the metasternum
