The species diagnosed and figured by Martínez (1968) as T. heydeni is described below as T. tishechkini sp. nov., because it is actually a different species. Martínez (1968) apparently described T. pereirai after misidentifying T. heydeni and therefore not realizing that they were the same species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7F266B7AF870144DFEF6B172FDD06E9F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Nevertheless, we feel confident in making this synonymy because all evidence based on the available morphological characteristic support it. Primary type specimens differ in size ( T. boucomonti is smaller) and in the shape of tibial teeth (abraded in T. hirsutum), but all other characters coincide. These differences are variable amongst a large series of examined material of this species, from a wide distribution range that includes both type localities. Male genitalia (parameres and internal sac) of several specimens have also been compared and no differences were observed.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7F266B7AF872144AFEF6B250FEBA69DF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Buck, Ex.: Acromyrmex sp. nest. #115 (1 NMM). All the specimens from Rio Grande do Sul from E.Wasmann's Coll'n Alcohol, mounted by A. Tishechkin, 2000.</p><p>Etymology: A patronym honoring Alexey Tishechkin, histeridologist, who diligently prepared Wasmannís material stored in alcohol at the NMM.</p><p>Diagnosis: 3.8–5.3 mm. The short triangular head and characteristic confluent large clypeal punctures (Fig. 9), combined with size, shape of posterior tarsi (basitarsomere more than twice as long as the following tarsomere), and distribution (southern Brazil and Argentina) will be sufficient to separate this species from other Trichillum species.</p><p>Description: Holotype male. Head: (Fig. 7) wider than long, clypeus rounded, with a wide v­shaped emargination that originates on each side of a rounded, feebly conspicuous tooth. Clypeal surface with large irregular and coalescent punctures, with the larger ones bearing a seta. Punctures on the clypeo­frontal region feebly coalescent and of two sizes. On front and vertex, punctures feebly impressed and well separated. Clypeogenal suture straight from the border to near the eye tip and then curved inwards. Eye approximately twice as long as wide. Pronotum: covered with conspicuous punctures (when viewed with 10x magnification); punctures regularly spaced, smaller on disc, larger and more strongly impressed laterally. Lateral punctures often elongated and deeper with occasional lateral setae in both anterior and posterior angles. Pronotum with a transverse row of setae parallel to anterior margin, posteriorly deviated and interrupted medially. Elytra: elytral striae with feeble elongate punctures on the disc, discal interstriae with sparse, small punctures. Lateral and apical striae much deeper and with conspicuous punctures. Apical interstriae with one row of setae each, externally positioned on interstriae 1 and 2, internally on interstriae 3 to 7. Sterna: meso­metasternal sulcus in rounded straight angle, terminated by punctures at each side, just below the middle of the trocanter. Metasternum with large ocelated punctures laterally; with simple, small punctures in the disc. Discal concavity elongated, covering most of the disc except the anterior half of the anterior projection. Legs: anterior tibia with three external teeth in the apical two thirds, and one internal apical tooth; calcar spathuliform, somewhat larger than the first tarsomere. First tarsomere of median tarsi one and a half times longer than second. First tarsomere of hind tarsi about twice as long as the second. Abdomen: aedeagus with parameres slightly asymmetrical, the right paramere larger but similar in form to the left one (Fig. 8), external apical angle straight.</p><p>Variation: Paratypes vary in sexual features, size, color (teneral specimens are lighter in color), and in position of individual head punctures, not differing however of the general structure described for the holotype, apart of features related to abrasion of clypeal and fore tibial teeth. Females differ from males by protibial apical internal tooth absent, metasternal disc flat, not concave, and pygidium slightly more transverse.</p><p>Remarks: This species was treated as T. heydeni by Martínez (1968), who adequately diagnosed it in the key of his paper.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7F266B7AF8771446FEF6B612FD6968CF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Head: Clypeus with wide and deep U­shaped emargination, with a large and narrow tooth at each side, each tooth parallel­sided, with truncated apex (Fig. 9). Emargination internally and clypeal sides slightly upturned; clypeal sides straight, with a small emargination on the clypeo­genal border. Head covered by large, rugose, setose, transversal punctures, coalescent in the apex and middle of clypeus and distinctly separated on other parts of head, smaller in size on genae. Frons, posterior part of clypeus and genae, with simple small punctures mixed up with the rugose ones. Interocular dorsal space eight times the width of one eye. Pronotum: Pronotal disk with scattered small simple conspicuous punctures. Sides with large, rugose, setose, elongated punctures. Anterior transverse row of setose punctures parallel to anterior border laterally, abruptly posteriorly directed at each side from near to each eye, evanescent in the middle. Basal border with elongated row of setose punctures only on the lateral fourths. Elytra: Elytral discal striae without punctures; interstriae with irregularly spaced small punctures. First, third, and fifth interstriae with apical longitudinal rows of setose punctures, each with up to three setae and restricted to the apical third. Sterna: Metasternal disk with umbilicate punctures, separated by one to three diameters. Metasternal sides with larger umbilicate punctures. Abdomen: Abdominal sternites covered by large umbilicate punctures. Parameres as in figure 10. Legs: Hind femora 1½ times longer than wide in the middle, middle femora normal. Middle and hind tibiae strongly expanded at apex, apical width about 2½ times shorter than tibia. Hind tibia with a small median tubercle on the external ventral face. First tarsomere of the middle legs as long as the second. First tarsomere of the hind legs about 1.2 times longer than the second.</p><p>Variation: Paratypes vary in sexual features and size, apart of features related to abrasion of clypeal and fore tibial teeth.

Head: Clypeal margin slightly upturned, with two obtuse teeth with rounded apices, separated by a wide V­shaped emargination. Lateral clypeal margins almost straight, in continuation with genae. Clypeal surface covered by large simple punctures, coalescent in the middle, separated by less than ¼ of their diameter, some of them setose. Frons with sparse punctures, smaller than those on clypeus, separated by 1 ½ to 3 times the diameter of one point; laterally with two large simple setose punctures in the internal border of each eye.

Mesosternum approximately 2.5 times wider than long in the middle, with simple punctures separated by about two diameters. Metasternal anterior lobe slightly wider in the middle than in base; meso­metasternal suture in straight, rounded angle; meso­metasternal sulcus evanescing posteriorly, at each side, just posterior to the base of the middle trochanter. Metasternal disk with punctures as small as in the pronotal disk, laterally with larger, umbilicate, elongated punctures. Abdomen: Abdominal sternites covered by large umbilicated punctures. Parameres as in figure 12. Legs: First tarsomere of the middle legs as long as the second. First tarsomere of the hind legs about 1.2 times longer than the second.</p><p>Variation: Paratypes vary in sexual features, size, color (teneral specimens are less dark in color) and in position of individual head punctures, not differing however of the general structure described for the holotype, apart of features related to abradation of clypeal and fore tibial teeth. Females differ from males by protibial apical internal tooth absent, metasternal disc flat, not concave, and pygidium slightly more transverse.</p><p>Remarks: This species was misidentified by Martínez (1968) as T. depilatum, but differs (apart from the characters cited above) by having different paramera (much longer and narrower in T. depilatum). The new species appears to be closer to T. externepunctatum Borre, 1880 than to T. depilatum, judging by the form of the paramere (shorter and narrowed apically).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7F266B7AF8781444FEF6B4E0FD436F3F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
