Scale bar: 0.50 mm. + + + + +Etymology. +The name of the new species is a direct reference to cashew (Caju, in Portuguese), a name given to the peduncle (pseudofruit) attached to the “nut” (fruit) of the cashew tree ( + +Anacardium occidentale + +L.), a plant typical of northeastern +Brazil +with high socioeconomic importance for the region. This fruit also gave its name to the natural reserve (RPPN do Caju) where the new species was found. + + + + +Distribution. +Brazil +, +Sergipe state +( +Fig. 7 +). + + +Biological aspects. +Based on what we know about the species’ biological aspects, it seems to prefer environments with a greater abundance of trees and shrubs, as well as denser leaf litter. These factors contribute to a lower average temperature and higher relative humidity in these places ( + +Brito +et al +. 2023 + +), where its hosts probably live. + + + + +Remarks. +Holotype +(MFCE14404): right antenna broken, flagellomeres 7 to 11 glued in a triangle next to the specimen. The paramere, volsella, penis valve, and the sterna 6, 7 and subgenital plate, removed during the dissection of the genitalia, are stored in a microtube filled with glycerine and pinned next to the specimen. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/AD/4E/03AD4E2FC870442148F99A75FBE9F890.xml b/data/03/AD/4E/03AD4E2FC870442148F99A75FBE9F890.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..37206a08157 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/AD/4E/03AD4E2FC870442148F99A75FBE9F890.xml @@ -0,0 +1,107 @@ + + + +A new genus of Drepanicinae (Neuroptera: Mantispidae) from the earliest Eocene Fur Formation, Denmark + + + +Author + +Makarkin, Vladimir N. +Federal Scientific Center of the East Asia Terrestrial Biodiversity, Far East Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok, 960022, Russia + + + +Author + +Perkovsky, Evgeny E. +Natural History Museum of Denmark, Universitetsparken 15, Copenhagen, Denmark + + + +Author + +Nielsen, Christian +Frederiksvej 25, Frederiksberg 2000, Denmark, + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2025 + +2025-01-20 + + +5570 + + +3 + + +583 +590 + + + + +https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5570.3.9 + +journal article +10.11646/zootaxa.5570.3.9 +1175-5326 +14745479 +0EC93C68-FC27-46DE-8121-E36F05AF3315 + + + + + + +Genus + +Danomantispa + +gen. nov. + + + + + + + +Type +and only species. + + +Danomantispa frandseni + + +sp. nov. + + + + + +Diagnosis. +This new genus may be easily distinguished from other genera of +Drepanicinae +by pterostigma structure: distal crossvein/-s between Sc and RA located in its distal part; section of Sc distad it nearly straight, rather short (‘mantispine-like’) [this crossvein (or crossveins) located nearly in middle of pterostigma and section of Sc distad it curved and long in other genera]. + + + + +Etymology +.

Pterostigma dark, elongated, veinlets within it indiscernible; distal crossvein between Sc, RA located in distal part of pterostigma. Subcostal space relatively narrow, dilated before pterostigma; with three crossveins detected: basal one indiscernible or absent; two closely spaced intermediate ones distad origin of RP; one distal one very short. RA distally with two preserved simple veinlets (at least three in live). RA space narrowed toward apex, with three crossveins. RP originates rather far from wing base (at +ca +. 0.26% complete length), with 12 branches; all preserved branches forked once (some distal branches possibly simple). M basally appears to be fused with R, but might only be very close; forked far distad origin of RP. MA, MP each forked once. Fork of Cu not preserved. CuA pectinately forked, with two short simple branches. CuP, A1 deeply forked with all branches simple. First (basal) gradate series of crossveins not preserved. Second series represented by three crossveins: 2r-m connects stem of RP and MA; 2m-cu connects MP and CuA slightly proximad 2icu; 2icu connects CuA, and anterior branch of CuP (proximal crossvein between RA, RP may belong to this series).

Body large-sized for the genus, distinctly elongate, not distinctly convex, flattened medially; matt; apparently almost glabrous, except head and longitudinal costae on pronotum and eltyra partly clothed with very short and thin, yellowish macrosetae. Dark brownish; antennae, tarsomeres and mouth parts pale brownish. + + +Head ( +Fig. 4D +) transversely sub-hexagonal; surface very weakly shiny, tops of ridges moderately shiny; clypeus trapezoidal in outline, anteriorly truncate, on each side upturned as obtuse, weak tooth, laterally sinuous; genae distinctly more excavate than eyes; clypeal disc distinctly convex, ringed by a deep groove; convexity with a pair of quite distinct, very short, ridges that converge anteriorly, nearly whole surface with distinct, fine punctures bearing small macrosetae. Frons with four distinct, longitudinal ridges with similar structure as ridges on clypeal convexity. Head covered by regularly spaced, dense, moderately large punctures bearing short macrosetae. + +Pronotum very weakly shiny, tops of costae distinctly shiny; with eight distinct costae and seven intercostae, lateral margin with two rounded lobes. Anterior lobe very weakly more prominent laterally and distinctly narrower than median lobe, anterior lobes are the widest part of pronotum. Costae of middle, third and fourth pair entire from posterior to anterior margins; median pair very gently convergent anteriorly, distinctly convergent in the middle of anterior third; second pair of costae distinctly interrupted in anterior half; all costae on each side with very small punctures bearing very small macrosetae. All intercostae anteriorly without additional short costae. Median intercostae with dense punctures, distinctly concentrated medially into a longitudinal line, all intercostae posteriorly with distinct, dense punctation. +Scutellum almost imperceptible. +Elytra matt, tops of costae and preapical glandular area distinctly shiny. Each elytron with six elevated, distinctly convex costae, and five flat intercostae. Costae on each side with very small punctures bearing very small setae. Intercostae 1–4 with two distinct rows of punctures, medially smooth; basally third intercostae with short costal remnant and additional median row of small sparse punctures extending to apical third of elytra; humeral region of fourth intercosta with dense, irregularly spaced additional punctures; fifth intercosta with one row of punctures. Preapical glandular area relatively small. External caudal bulb distinctly reduced, area between external caudal bulb and sides of elytra not divided; external and mediointernal caudal bulbs not divided; medio-internal caudal bulb shortened, transversely rounded, internally stretched. +Macropterous. + +Pygidium ( +Fig. 4E +) triangular with acute apex, distinctly bent inwards in lateral view (not perpendicular to body axis), with dense, irregularly spaced punctation, with weak longitudinal carina in the middle and deep excision on each side. + + + +FIGURES 3A–C. + +Rhyparus malaitaensis + +, +new species +, female, holotype. A, dorsal view; B, ventral view; C, lateral view. + + + +Venter ( +Fig. 3B +) moderately shiny. Metaventral plate flattened in the middle; with distinct, narrow, quite deep longitudinal furrow on posterior half; punctation of plate dense, quite regularly spaced, slightly irregular in size; all punctures bearing short macrosetae. Abdominal ventrites weakly shiny, on sides with rows of punctures; anteriorly with an additional punctured furrow. Last abdominal ventrite shortened medially for reception of pygidium, with dense punctures, which are about one and half time larger than on penultimate ventrite; anterior half with dense, very deep punctures (pits) separated by narrow longitudinal ridges; posterior part in the middle with very deep groove, located very slightly below apex of pygidium. Meso- and metafemora with two very indistinct tubercles on posterior border; all femora shiny, with regular, very distinct, rather small, very dense punctation; all punctures bearing small macrosetae. + + +Variation +. Length +6.2–8.6 mm +, width 2.00– +2.65 mm +. Punctation of pronotum can be more or less dense. Sexual dimorphism evident in the shape of meso- and metatibiae, which are weakly sinuate on inner edge and are distinctly inwardly hooked at apex; additionally last abdominal ventrite and pygidium in males are not modified. + + + + +Etymology. +Toponymic; an adjective derived from the name of +Malaita +Island, where the +holotype +was collected. + + + + +FIGURES 4A–G. +Details of morphology.

Due to this modification, females are always easily distinguishable from other + +Rhyparus +species. + +Males of this group are not so easily distinguishable and for this reason we selected a female as the +holotype +. Members of this group can be distinguished from other + +Rhyparus + +by the relatively large body (for a representatives of the genus), with a body length in nearly all cases more than 6.0 mm, elongate body, relatively weakly developed, rounded lateral lobes of pronotum, and weakly developed caudal bulbs. + + +The pygidium of female + +R. malaitaensis + +, +new species +has the apex acute, shaped like a distinct triangle (not truncate). Of all species in the group with a modified female pygidium, only + +R. bacanensis +Minkina, Anichtchenko, Vasiljeva & Skelley 2022 + +and + +R. argopuroensis +Minkina & Jákl, 2024 + +have a similar pygidial apex (see figs +26–33 in + +Minkina +et al. +2022 + +and figs 1–3, 22, +29 in +Minkina & Jákl 2024 +), but they have different last abdominal ventrites. In + +R. malaitaensis + +, +new species +the pits in the anterior furrow are about 1.5–2.5 times longer than wider; in + +R. bacanensis + +the pits are about 3.5–5.0 times longer than wider; while + +R. argopuorensis + +, has much smaller pits, similar to large punctures. + +Rhyparus bacanensis + +have apical part of last abdominal ventrite located distinctly below the pygidial apex; + +R. malaitaensis + +, + +new species and + +R. + + +argopuroensis +have apical part of last abdominal ventrite located very slightly below the pygidial apex. Female pygidia of these three species are not easy to distinguish without having specimens of all species for comparison: proportions and prominence (especially median carina of pygidium) are slightly different. Another feature that distinguishes females of + +R. malaitaensis + +, + +new species and + +R. + + +argopuroensis +from + +R. bacanensis + +is the shape of metaventral plate: + +Rhyparus bacanensis + +have distinct concavities on each side of the median longitudinal furrow, which are lacking on + +R. malaitaensis + +, + +new species and + +R. + + +argopuroensis +. + + +Males of this group with modified female pygidia are difficult to distinguish. Males of + +R +. +malaitaensis + +, +new species +can be recognised by comparing the following combination of characters with those presented in Table 1 and Table 2 of + +Minkina +et al. +(2022) + +: all costae shiny, intercostae of pronotum weakly shiny, intercostae of elytra matt; body distinctly elongate, lateral lobes of pronotum weakly developed, sinuation between them not so distinct, anterior lateral lobe of pronotum triangular, very slightly higher than posteriorly; posterior lateral lobe of pronotum widely, regularly rounded; punctation of median intercostae of pronotum dense, regularly spaced, distinctly concentrate in the middle into longitudinal line, punctures coarse here; elytral costae distinctly convex, relatively narrow; some additional fine punctures are observed on all intercostae; third intercostae with three distinct rows of moderately coarse punctures. + + +Additionally it can be identified from other members of the genus + +Rhyparus + +from the +Solomon Islands +using the key below. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/63/74/87/637487AB235C0455578461FFFF47F801.xml b/data/63/74/87/637487AB235C0455578461FFFF47F801.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..f4a40123698 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/63/74/87/637487AB235C0455578461FFFF47F801.xml @@ -0,0 +1,720 @@ + + + +Review of the genus Rhyparus Westwood, 1845 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae) in the Solomon Islands with description of two new species + + + +Author + +Minkina, Łukasz +os.

Body length +4.7 mm +; maximum width +1.55 mm +. Body small-sized for the genus, quite distinctly elongate, not distinctly convex, flattened medially; surface matt; apparently glabrous, except head and all longitudinal costae and intercostae on pronotum and elytra with rows of very small, yellowish macrosetae. Dark brownish; antennae, tarsomeres and mouth parts pale brownish. + + +Head ( +Fig. 4A +) transversely sub-hexagonal; matt, tops of ridges moderately shiny; clypeus trapezoidal in outline, anteriorly truncate, on each side upturned as obtuse tooth, laterally sinuous; genae distinctly more excavate than eyes; clypeal disc distinctly convex, ringed by a deep groove; convexity with a pair of distinct, short ridges that converge anteriorly, nearly entire surface with distinct, fine punctures bearing small setae. Frons with four distinct, longitudinal ridges with similar structure as ridges on clypeal convexity. Head covered by regularly spaced, dense, moderately large punctures bearing short macrosetae. + +Pronotum matt, tops of costae distinctly shiny; with eight distinct costae and seven intercostae, lateral margin with two rounded lobes. Anterior lobe less prominent laterally and distinctly narrower than median lobe which is the widest part of the pronotum. Costae of middle, third and fourth pair entire from posterior to anterior margins; median pair gently convergent anteriorly, distinctly convergent in the middle of anterior third; second pair of costae distinctly interrupted in anterior half; all costae on each side with very small punctures bearing very small setae. All intercostae anteriorly without additional short costae. Median intercostae anteriorly with few punctures concentrated at middle; all intercostae lacking distinct punctures posteriorly, but with few irregularly spaced setae from minute punctures. +Scutellum almost imperceptible. +Elytra matt, tops of costae and preapical glandular area distinctly shiny. Each elytron with six elevated, distinctly convex costae, and five flat intercostae. Costae on sides with very small punctures bearing very small setae. Intercostae 1–4 with two distinct rows of large punctures, medially surface smooth with one or two rows of small setae from minute punctures. Fifth intercosta with one row of punctures. Preapical glandular area relatively small. External caudal bulb distinctly reduced, area between external caudal bulb and sides of elytra not divided; external and mediointernal caudal bulbs very weakly divided; medio-internal bulb transversely rounded, internally stretched. +Macropterous. +Pygidium with dense, irregularly spaced punctation, with distinct longitudinal carina medially and deep excision on each side. + +Venter ( +Fig. 2B +) weakly shiny. Metaventral plate flattened in the middle; with distinct, narrow, shallow, median longitudinal furrow; punctation plate dense, shallow, regularly spaced, slightly irregular in size; all punctures bearing short setae. Abdominal ventrites weakly shiny, with dense punctation bearing long and thin setae; with an additional coarsely punctured furrow on anterior margin; last abdominal ventrite medially flattened, lacking median carina (there are just two depressed areas on both sides of a median line that appears like a low carina). Meso- and metafemora without tubercles on posterior border; all femora shiny, with regular, very distinct, moderately large, very dense punctation; all punctures bearing thin macrosetae. Meso- and metatibiae ( +Fig. 4B +) with inner margin regularly rounded entire length to a large inner apical tooth. + + +Variation +. Length +4.4–6.3 mm +, width +1.45–2.10 mm +. Punctation of pronotum can be slightly more or less coarse; rows of minute punctures on elytra can be more or less dense. Sexual dimorphism evident in the shape of the male meso- and metatibiae, which are weakly sinuate on inner edge and are distinctly inwardly hooked at apex. Additionally, the last abdominal ventrite of males is somewhat elevated and flattened medially, lacking median carina (there are two depressed areas on both sides of a median line that appears like a low carina). In females, the last abdominal ventrite is not elevated, weakly flattened, with no depressed areas like in males. + + + + +Etymology. +Toponymic; an adjective derived from the name of +Guadalcanal +Island, where the +holotype +was collected. + + + + +Differential diagnosis. + +Rhyparus guadalcanalensis + +, +new species +is a small to moderately sized member of the genus with punctation of pronotum visible only in anterior third of the median intercostae, lateral lobes of pronotum distinctly developed, and weakly developed caudal bulbs. It can be confused only with + +R. helophoroides +Fairmaire, 1893 + +, with which it is sometimes sympatric. Males of both species are very easily distinguishable from each other. They have differently shaped metatibiae (compare +Fig. 4B +and +Fig. 4C +; also see fig. 4A in + +Anichtchenko +et al. +2021 + +or fig. +31 in +Minkina & Jákl 2024 +), and + +R +. +helophoroides + +males have the last abdominal ventrite with a strong, median carina nearly complete from base to apex. Additionally, males and females of + +R. helophoroides + +are somewhat smaller, in most cases have the pronotum with larger punctures on entire surface of median intercostae (especially in basal part) and at most have mintue setae on elytral intercostae, rarely visible. + + +It can be identified from other members of the genus + +Rhyparus + +from the +Solomon Islands +using the key below. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/63/74/87/637487AB235C0457578467E8FDD7FAAF.xml b/data/63/74/87/637487AB235C0457578467E8FDD7FAAF.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..c16fcae2d7f --- /dev/null +++ b/data/63/74/87/637487AB235C0457578467E8FDD7FAAF.xml @@ -0,0 +1,231 @@ + + + +Review of the genus Rhyparus Westwood, 1845 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae) in the Solomon Islands with description of two new species + + + +Author + +Minkina, Łukasz +os.

These waterbodies are situated approximately +20 km +north of Yingkiong town. The water flow near the bridge was notably strong. This new species was found in association with other +Baetidae +(including + +Labiobaetis +spp. + +and + +Acentrella +( +Liebebiella +) +vera + +), +Vietnamellidae +, and +Heptageniidae +. Environmental parameters recorded at the site include: air temperature: 27.1°C, water temperature: 22.2°C, humidity: 83%, pH: 6.34, and an open canopy. The river substrate was composed of 10% gravel, 10% cobbles, 20% boulders, 50% bedrock, 5% fine sand, and 5% silt. Consistent with the observations of +Kluge and Novikova (2011) +and + +Suttinun +et al +. (2018) + +, larvae show a preference for wet rocks moistened by fine water spray, particularly on large stones near small waterfalls or in the interstices between large rocks in fast flowing water. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/9C/20/87/9C20878CDC2017416AED81DEFBA7F5FE.xml b/data/9C/20/87/9C20878CDC2017416AED81DEFBA7F5FE.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..5420cadd28e --- /dev/null +++ b/data/9C/20/87/9C20878CDC2017416AED81DEFBA7F5FE.xml @@ -0,0 +1,342 @@ + + + +Two new species of Trigonidiidae (Orthoptera: Grylloidea) from southwest China + + + +Author + +Yuan, Wei +0000-0002-5044-0018 +College of Agronomy, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu, 611130, China & College of Life Sciences, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an, 710119, China + + + +Author + +Wu, Jiawei +0009-0008-9541-5626 +College of Agronomy, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu, 611130, China & Chengdu Wildlife Conservation Association, Chengdu, 611130, China +sichuanjay@sina.com + + + +Author + +Ma, Li-Bin +0000-0002-8556-7158 +College of Life Sciences, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an, 710119, China & Zoological and Botanical Museum, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an, 710119, China +libinma@snnu.edu.cn + + + +Author + +Gu, Jun-Jie +0000-0003-1931-4424 +College of Agronomy, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu, 611130, China +orthoptera_gu@aliyun.com + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2025 + +2025-01-20 + + +5570 + + +3 + + +574 +582 + + + + +https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5570.3.8 + +journal article +10.11646/zootaxa.5570.3.8 +1175-5326 +14745498 +09F038C2-6392-4BCA-93DB-5DF0C843493C + + + + + + + +Svistella prominens +Ma, Yuan & Gu + +sp. nov. + + + + +Chinese name: +Ẅẋ唧Üḃ + + + + +( +Figs. 4 +, +5 +, +6 +) + + + + +Type material. + + +Holotype +. + +China +: +♂ +, +Jiange +, +Guangyuan +, +Sichuan +, + +18-VIII-2023 + +, +Yuan +, +Wei +, +Wang +, +Ning +coll.

Tegument scaled in posterior area of trunk and peduncle ( +Fig. 1A +), scales effortlessly lost in fixed specimens. Cephalic region narrow, with one terminal and 2 bilateral poorly developed cephalic lobes; 3 bilateral pairs of conspicuous head organs; bilateral pair of unicellular cephalic glands lateral to pharynx. Two pairs of eye-spots present, equidistant; accessory chromatic granules absent ( +Fig. 1A +). Mouth subterminal; pharynx spherical, 38–52 (46; n = 12) in diameter; esophagus short; intestinal caeca unbranched, extending from anterior to near posterior end of trunk, not confluent posteriorly. Haptor differentiated from body proper, laterally expanded, 53–120 (80; n = 12) long, 208–330 (271; n = 12) wide. Anchors dissimilar, with fine conspicuous alae ( +Fig. 1B–C +). Ventral anchor 46–60 (56; n =11) long; elongate superficial root; well-elongate deep root twice as long as superficial root, medially expanded; curved shaft; and recurved point; point not surpassing level of tip of superficial root; base 3–4 (3; n = 11) wide. Dorsal anchor 19–26 (22; n = 8) long, with inconspicuous superficial root, short and subquadrangular deep root, evenly curved shaft, and short point; point surpassing level of tip of superficial root; base 6–10 (8; n = 8) wide. Ventral bar 159–234 (202; n = 13) long, elongate, with mid-ventral longitudinal groove, tapered ends ( +Fig. 1D +). Dorsal bars 68–101 (84; n = 13) long, almost bludgeon-shaped, with spatulate medial end ( +Fig. 1E +). Fourteen similar hooks, 9–11 (10; n = 12) long, each with depressed obtuse thumb, slender and slightly curved shank, and short point ( +Fig. 1F +); filamentous hook (FH) loop about shank length; hook pair 1 at level of ventral bar; hook pair 5 at level of dorsal bar; other submarginal pairs on lateral haptoral lobes. Genital atrium sclerotized, irregular in shape. Squamodiscs, similar, each 50–90 (72; n = 11) long; 132–194 (167; n = 12) wide, with 41–46 (44; n = 12) concentric rows; dumbbell-shaped rodlets ( +Fig. 1G +). Male copulatory organ (MCO) sclerotized, J-shaped, with spatulate distal end, 60–85 (74; n = 14) long. Middle portion of MCO surrounded by sclerotized sac; distal portion of sac with elongate sclerotized U-shaped process ( +Figs 1H +, +6A +). Testis ovate, 72–118 (95; n =5) long, 49–67 (59; n = 5) wide; vas deferens not looping left intestinal caeca, dilating to form C-shaped seminal vesicle in left side of trunk, posterior to genital atrium; prostatic reservoir, prostatic glands not observed. Ovary elongate, pyriform, 24–41 (29; n = 7) long, 50–90 (84; n = 7) wide, looping dorsoventrally right intestinal caeca; oviduct, oötype, uterus not observed. Vagina, seminal receptacle not observed. Vitelline follicles dense, extending from posterior level of pharynx to posterior end of trunk, absent in regions of reproductive organs. Eggs not observed. + + + + +Remarks. +Based on the presence of a sclerotized genital atrium, a MCO lacking an accessory piece and a squamodisc with anterior rows of rodlets forming divergent rows ( +Domingues & Boeger 2008 +), the newly collected specimens from + +K +. +vaigiensis + +are assigned to + +Acleotrema + +. + +Acleotrema alejandroi + + +sp. nov. + +is mainly characterized by its MCO, which is J-shaped with a spatulate distal end. The middle portion of MCO is surrounded by a sclerotized sac; and the distal portion of the sac bears an elongated, sclerotized U-shaped process. The new species most closely resembles + +A +. +tamatavense +( +Rakotofiringa, Oliver & Lambert, 1987 +) +Domingues & Boeger, 2007 + +from + +Polyamblyodon gibbosum +(Pellegrin, 1914) + +( +Sparidae +) in +Madagascar +and + +A +. +girellae +Johnston & Tiegs, 1922 + +from + +Girella tricuspidata +(Quoy & Gaimard, 1824) + +in +Australia +, due to its MCO which has a J-shaped internal tube. However, + +A +. +alejandroi + + +sp. nov. + +differ from + +A +. +tamatavense + +by the morphology of the sclerotized sac that surround of the MCO (with elongated and sclerotized U-shaped process in the new species vs with a short C-shaped process in + +A +. +tamatavense + +), and by dimensions of the ventral anchors ( +46–60 in +the new species vs +25–30 in + +A +. +tamatavense + +), ventral bar ( +156–188 in +the new species vs +255–275 in + +A +. +tamatavense + +), and dorsal bar ( +68–78 in +the new species vs +105–110 in + +A +. +tamatavense + +). + +Acleotrema alejandroi + + +sp. nov. + +is easily differentiated from + +A +. +girellae + +by the sclerotised sac associated with the MCO (without radial musculature in the new species vs with radial musculature in + +A +. +girellae + +) and by the morphology of ventral bar (more robust in the new species). + + + + \ No newline at end of file
