Peromyia warraensis
sp. n.
(
Fig. 4
A-B)
Diagnosis:
Within the
Peromyia dissonadissona
group,
P. warraensiswarraensis
and
P. praeclarapraeclara
(see
JASCHHOF
&
JASCHHOF 2004:
118
f.) are the only species possessing bilobed gonostyli. Even so, the gonostylus structure in these two species is fundamentally different: while the subbasal lobe in
P. warraensis
emerges from the dorsal surface of gonostylus, it emerges from the ventral surface in
P. praeclara
. Further differences lie in the outline of gonocoxites and tegmen. For instance, the ventral emargination of gonocoxites is shallow in
P. warraensiswarraensis
and deep in
P. praeclara
, and the tegmen is short and rounded in
P. warraensiswarraensis
and long and pointed in
P. praeclara
.
Description
(mentioned are only those features which differ from that in
P. grovei
):
Male. Head:
Maxillary palpus 4-segmented, first segment with hair-shaped translucent sensilla.
Wing:
AntC ending at juncture with R5. ApicR1 = 3.0-3.5 times the length of Rs.
Terminalia:
Sclerotization of tg9 not or only insignificantly interrupted mesally. Ventral emargination of gonocoxites wide and shallow, not reaching to midlength (
Fig. 4A
). Gonostylus bilobed, ventral lobe elongate, with dense brush of apical setae, dorsal lobe attached subbasally, sparsely setose (
Fig. 4A
). Tegmen small, weakly membranous, shorter than gonocoxites, slightly tapering towards apex, rounded apically; ventral plate barely traceable, its basal margin deeply incised, apical margin situated just below tegmen apex (
Fig. 4B
).
Female and preimaginal stages.
Unknown.
Etymology:
The name is derived from the
type
locality, Warra.
