Notes.
This species differs from all described
Anisopleura
species by the presence of two long processes on the posterior lobe of prothorax, both in male (
Fig. 1a
) and female (
Fig. 1d, f, g
). The female is described here for the first time.
Description of female.
Posterior lobe of prothorax with two processes as in the male (
Fig. 1d, f, g
). The color pattern of head, thorax and legs is as in the male (
Fig. 1d, e
), apart from the antehumeral stripe, the anterior end of which has an oval shape with a dark core and which tapers off earlier towards the posterior end of mesepisternum (
Fig. 1d
). Wings (
Fig. 1h
) are hyaline with black venation. The number of Ax is
18–19 in
both wings. Abdomen (
Fig. 1d
) is black with pale yellowish lateral markings on abdominal segments as follows: S1–2 have a large oblong marking; S3–7 have an oval anterior marking, and a thin stripe running along the lateral suture, becoming thinner towards their posterior ends; S8 is black with a small oval spot near posterior margin; and S9–10 are wholly black. Ovipositor black, thick and robust as in
Fig. 1d
.
Measurement (in mm). HW 32; abdomen (incl. appendages) 29.
