Description.
Body short elliptic, moderately convex. Dorsum, venter, coxae and mandibles very dark brown, almost black; labrum, antennae and legs testaceous, with base of tibiae and femora infuscate; palpi and apex of antennomeres 11 ochre. Length: 5.5 mm; width: 3.1 mm (range of male specimens: 4.6–5.5 mm long, 2.7–3.1 mm wide).
Frons with few small punctures anteriorly and supraocular sulci prolonged medially to middle of supraantennal calli; clypeus with few small punctures basally and anterior border moderately emarginate. Eyes large, separated by nearly 2.0 × their transverse diameter. Relative proportions of antennomeres: 1.8-1.0 - 1.6 - 1.7 - 2.1 - 2.0 - 2.2 - 2.2 - 2.2 - 2.1 - 2.5. Prosternal process about 0.75 × as wide as transverse diameter of procoxae. Elytra about 1.1 × as long as ensemble width at base, widest behind humeri; surface finely alutaceous, shinier than pronotum, with relatively large punctures, smaller than intervals, ordered in rows in apical half of elytra and rather confused anteriorly on disc. Basitarsomeres enlarged, as wide as third tarsomere, shorter than second and third tarsomeres combined in pro- and mesotarsi, and as long as these in metatarsi. Median apodeme of first abdominal ventrite about half as long as ventrite, arched, narrower than mesosternal process; fourth ventrite with undulate margin and fifth ventrite irregularly serrulate; all ventrites with fine microreticulation, sparse fine punctures and long fine, posteriorly adpressed pale yellow setae. Penis (Fig. 7 c View Figure 7 ) slender, regularly curved ventrally, with sides slightly concave in ventral view, as wide preapically as wide at base; apex elongate oval, arched distally with short projecting blunt tip; gonopore elongate elliptical, with distal end separated from apex of penis by distance shorter than maximum width of gonopore; dorsal flap subrectangular, longer than wide, covering about basal half of gonopore. — Females. Spermatheca (Fig. 1 k View Figure 1 ) with cornu shorter than nodulus, bent more or less at right angle relative to nodulus; nodulus bulbous basally, with short protruding insertion of spermathecal gland submedially, opposite to cornu; spermathecal duct thin, inserted laterally near base of nodulus, oriented opposite to cornu and recurved parallel and about as long or slightly longer than nodulus before gradual enlargement with one complete, elongate coil.
Diagnosis.
From most other species of Cazeresia with subparallel, completely glabrous elytra, and prosternal process narrower than procoxae, this species can be recognized by its shorter body proportions (L / W <1.80), a trait only shared with C. australis sp. nov. (Table S 2). C. australis , however, seems to be characterized by rather uniform dorsal colour, compared to slightly paler elytra as seen in C. globosa , and their male genitalia are slightly different, with the apical median tooth relatively shorter in C. globosa . C. tibialis sp. nov. has similarly short body shape, but the prosternum is as wide or wider than procoxae. The subspecies C. globosa altitudinalis ssp. nov. is morphologically identical to the nominotypical form, except for the margins of fourth and fifth abdominal ventrites of both sexes serrate in this subspecies, and they also differ in their distribution and ecological preference, occupying high elevations and lowlands, respectively.
Derivatio nominis.
The chosen name is a Latin adjective (f.) meaning spherical, referring to the relatively short, convex shape of the body of this species.
Distribution.
This species has been found in a group of low elevation (30–330 m a. s. l.) localities in the southern part of Grande Terre, north and east of the Massif du Sud (Fig. 8 d View Figure 8 ).
