039187BAA05E9B0DD19EFD29FA544333.taxon	type_taxon	Type species: Myopagyrtes tasmanicus, here designated.	en	Ashman, Lauren G., Seago, Ainsley E., Leschen, Richard A. B. (2024): A new genus of Australian Agyrtodini from Tasmania (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Camiarinae). Zootaxa 5453 (3): 403-410, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5453.3.8, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5453.3.8
039187BAA05E9B0DD19EFD29FA544333.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This genus can be distinguished from other agyrtodine leiodids by the following combination of characters: tarsal formula 4 - 4 - 5 in both sexes; hind wings absent; eyes reduced to about 13 – 14 facets, interocular length to about 4 x the lengths of antennomere 1 (Figs. 1 c, 2 c); elytra transversely striolate; body size <1.5 mm. The tarsal formula is unique for the subfamily. Hind wing loss or reduction occurs in most Camiarini, apart from the New Zealand Baeosilpha rufescens Broun, some Neopelatopini, and the New Zealand agyrtodine, Chelagyrtodes Szymczakowski (Seago and Leschen 2011).	en	Ashman, Lauren G., Seago, Ainsley E., Leschen, Richard A.

039187BAA05E9B0DD19EFD29FA544333.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The generic epithet consists of the prefix Myop — from the Greek Myops (near-sighted) and the suffix — agyrtes, referring respectively to its drastically reduced eyes and the sympatric genus Agyrtodes Portevin.	en	Ashman, Lauren G., Seago, Ainsley E., Leschen, Richard A.

039187BAA05C9B0BD19EFF39FDCA44CF.taxon	description	Description. As in genus description. TBL = 1.38 – 1.44 mm, TBW = 0.88 – 1.00 mm, EL = 0.81 – 1.00 mm, HW = 0.25 – 0.31 mm (n = 5). Colour pale brown to piceous, pronotum usually same colour as elytra, sometimes paler. Row of dark spots visible on posterior margin of pronotum, presumably corresponding to glandular openings but not apparently associated with external punctures. Male genital segment (Fig. 2 f) slightly elongate, with long, slender anterior apophysis not expanded at the apex. Aedeagus (Fig. 2 e) with median lobe simple, slender, abruptly narrowing to point at apex; basal piece short. Parameres slender, barely extending past apex of median lobe, not apically expanded or noticeably setose. Endophallus with two slender sclerites fused and rounded basally. Female terminalia largely unsclerotised, spiculum ventral membranous; ovipositor with coxites long, incurved, with three external and one internal setae; styli extremely reduced, tapered, with long terminal setae.	en	Ashman, Lauren G., Seago, Ainsley E., Leschen, Richard A.
