Description.
Aedeagus concave and narrow, sides subparallel; apico-lateral angles obtusely angulate, wide in lateral view, bases of apico-lateral angles smooth; apical margin with a long, broad median tube-like process, wide in lateral view, apex slightly and medially depressed; dorsal process subapically and slightly swollen in dorsal and lateral views, apex pointed in lateral view (
Figs 7
A–7B). Ventrite V not modified in female, apical margin narrowly rounded (
Fig. 7
C). Gonocoxae reduced. Ventrite VIII (
Fig. 7
D) heart-shaped, with extremely short spiculum, with scarce elongate setae along apical margins of triangulate processes. Tergite VIII (
Fig. 7
E) with apex rounded and with sparse setae on disc. Receptacle of spermatheca (
Fig. 7
F) weakly swollen, barely separated from pump, pump much narrower and longer, sharply curved; proximal spermathecal duct long and narrow.
Diagnosis.
Siemssenius jungchani
sp. nov.
is similar to
S. yuae
sp. nov.
in possessing the smooth bases of apico-lateral angles of aedeagus, and the rounded apex of the abdominal tergite VIII. But
S. jungchani
sp. nov.
has the subtruncate and slightly depressed apex of broad median tube-like process of apical margin of aedeagus (rounded apex of the slender median tube-like processes in
S. yuae
sp. nov.
) (
Figs 7
A, 7B, 11A, 11B).
Host plant.
Unknown.
Etymology.
This new species is named after Mr. Jung-Chan Chen, who is a member of TCRT and the first to collect this new species.
Distribution.
Only known from the
type
locality, Tahanshan (大漢山), lowlands in southern
Taiwan
(
Fig. 4
).
