Typical Loxandrina recognizable by the combination of the enlarged apical labial palpomeres with a setose, ventral sensorium (Fig. 14), subocular carina (Fig. 18), presence of an elytral plica, and lack of elytral discal setae. The characteristic labial palps are not known from any other Abacetini.</p><p>Genus Characteristics. Modified from Moore (1965). Small to medium size beetles (3.5–8.2 mm); pale brown, castaneous, or rarely darker, nearly piceous; parallel-sided, somewhat or extremely dorso-ventrally depressed body form; relatively large pronotum (Figs. 1–13); apical segment of labial palpi enlarged, subglobose, plurisetose, with a setose, ventral sensorium (Fig. 14); mentum triangular, shallowly emarginate; epilobes long and narrow, not prominent; median tooth prominent and entire or slightly emarginate, not reaching tips of lobes, paramedial pits absent; paraglossae short, glabrous; antennae long, filiform, with 3 basal segments glabrous; postocular orbits not pronounced; elytra free, fully striate, border entire across base, epipleural plica present, but often very small, parascutellar stria present, joined to stria 1, angular base of stria 1 absent, no discal punctures, 13–15 umbilicate setae in stria 8, humeri rounded; hind wings full size; male anterior tarsi with 3 basal segments dilated and squamose beneath; aedeagus (Figs. 21–32) with orifice on dorsum; parameres conchoid, the right smaller than the left.</p><p>KEY TO THE SPECIES OF ADULT PEDIOMORPHUS</p><p>1.

The dark region can cover nearly the entire elytral disc and be very dark or quite indistinct. The darker region may be truncated and the basal third of the elytra is the ground color.

Straneo (1960) included only the holotype and an allotype under his species and deferred several other specimens that were smaller; he noted they varied enough to cause him to suspect they were other species. He was correct, and two of those specimens are included here under Pediomorphus semilaevis Will, new species .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/543F8F0FFFEAF84318B41D16FBA9F2AF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Omeo is the name of a homestead approximately 56 km WNW of Wee Waa (Fig. 20), along Kamilaroi Highway. It is at approximately 160 m elevation and is largely open eucalyptus forest and pastureland.</p><p>Diagnosis. This species and Pediomorphus storeyi Will, new species, are the largest species in the genus, with P. maximus being slightly broader, more robust, and with a more depressed form. Its size and sulcate, nearly impunctate elytral striae distinguish it from other species in the genus.</p><p>Description. Size: sbl = 8.2 mm; greatest width across elytra = 3.1 mm. Color: Dorsal and ventral surfaces piceous to dark rufous; legs, mouthparts, and antennae paler rufous. Dorsally distinctly and ventrally moderately shiny. Iridescence not evident on head and pronotum, spectral iridescence apparent on elytra and proepisterna, otherwise not evident on ventral surface of body. Head: Dorsal microsculpture not evident at 50X magnification. Clypeal-ocular impressions broad, widening posteriorly, distinctly delimited laterally by convexity, not clearly delimited medially. Ocular ratio 1.43. Eyes relatively small, prominent, with large posterior orbital area, single subocular carina low, sharply defined. Labrum with anterior margin straight. Median tooth of mentum broad, flat across apex. Antennae moderately long, antennomeres 10–11 surpassing pronotal base. Thorax: Pronotum dorsally impunctate, microsculpture not evident at 50X magnification on anterior half, irregular, somewhat stretched mesh evident near base. Widest anteriad of middle, lateral margins distinctly sinuate in basal half.Lateral marginal bead widened near hind angles; basal margin without marginal bead; anterior angles prominent, broadly triangular; hind angles widely obtuse, not denticulate; basal impressions linear, well-impressed, reaching basal margin. Seta at hind angle in marginal bead. Elytra parallel-sided, epipleura in dorsal view evidently sinuate at level of umbilicate marginal puncture 7. Elytral striae sulcate, with very shallow, irregular punctures more conspicuous near base but not crenulate-punctate. Elytral microsculpture scarcely evident as very transversely stretched sculpticells. Intervals slightly convex. Elytral plica minute. Prosternal process rounded, with very shallowly marked margin, most evident laterally. Prosterna smooth. Meso- and metasterna coarsely punctate. Abdomen: Abdominal ventrites densely, finely punctate laterally and basally, impunctate medially and apically.</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet is the Latin masculine nominative maximus, which is a reference to the relatively large size of these beetles.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/543F8F0FFFEAF8401A831E15FDB1F39E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
