Spinivesica witchelina
,
new species
Figure 91, map 22, table 1, plates 28, 29
DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the uniform yellow-orange coloration (in preserved specimen), absence of any markings on corium or membrane (pl. 28), large, J-shaped endosoma with long distal region somewhat undulating, narrow, suberect spine proximad of secondary gonopore, and terminating with diverging, bifid, truncate, spines supporting a weakly sclerotized microtrichiate plate (fig. 91, pl. 29). General appearance and coloration most similar to
S. mardathuna
, but structure of endosoma distinctive.
DESCRIPTION:
MALE
: Total length 3.36, pronotum width 1.00. COLORATION (pl. 28): Yellow-orange, including all appendages (in preserved specimens); corium and membrane without markings. SURFACE AND VESTI- TURE (pl. 28): Dorsum clothed with recumbent, pale, simple setae. STRUCTURE:
Head
(pl. 28): Eyes occupying three-quarters height of head; antenna inserted just above ventral margin of eye; antennal segment 2 short (0.58), 0.82 times width of head; labium reaching to midpoint of mesosternum.
Thorax
(pl. 28): Pronotum with lateral margin nearly straight, posterior margin straight; mesoscutum broadly exposed.
Hemelytron
: Short, corial margin weakly convex, overall form ovoid; cuneus short. GENITALIA (fig. 91, pl. 29):
Pygophore:
Left margin of aperture with small flange.
Endosoma:
J-shaped, large; dorsal strap forming long, slen- der, suberect spine proximad of secondary gonopore and terminating in bifid widely di ‐ verging truncate spines supporting medially placed flattened microtrichiate plate incorporating billowy membrane; ventral strap terminating at secondary gonopore; midpoint of dorsal strap without lateral spine; secondary gonopore apical.
Phallotheca:
Dorsal surface with short crest, aperture with undulating margin placed on anterior surface.
Parameres:
Left paramere with dorsoposterior margin greatly expanded posteriad in dorsal view, posterior and anterior processes relatively large. Right paramere lanceolate, symmetrical, with small medial point.
