Papagona succinea

Ball 1935: 41
(Original description)
Type
locality.
Arizona
,
Tucson Mountains
(according to
Ball 1935
)
.
Amended description.
Body length.
Male,
2.5 mm
(
Ball 1935
).
Color.
Males (
Fig. 6A–C
). Body mainly orangish red. Forewing orange with anterior and intern margin yellowish, and two small circular pale maculae (
Fig. 6B, C
). Legs yellow with irregular brown maculae (
Fig. 6C
). Abdomen with tergite III with lateral white macula (
Fig. 6C
); in dorsal view, abdominal tergite medially orangish red and laterally yellow reddish (
Fig. 6B, C
); each segment of abdomen with dorsal median pair of small and few conspicuous yellow maculae (
Fig. 6B
); in lateral view, sternites with lateral white macula (
Fig. 6C
).
Structure. Head and thorax.
Vertex (
Fig. 6B
) with anterior margin rounded; as long as basal width at midline; subequal to pronotum length at midline. Frons (
Fig. 6A
) with median carina which does not reach fastigium; in lateral view (
Fig. 6A, C
), each side with row of seven sensory pits bordering sublateral carina, five pits bordering frontogenal carina, and three pits bordering fastigium (linking the other two rows providing a triangle-like arrangement—with four isolated pits within, aligned diagonally).
Pronotum (
Fig. 6B
) with six sensory pits bordering lateral margins of disc and a group of seven inner ones at posterior half. Mesonotum (
Fig. 6B
) without median carina; region outerad of lateral carina with eleven sensory pits.

Ball, 1935

Abdomen.
Tergite
III (
Fig. 6C
), in lateral view, with two to three sensory pits.
Tergite IV
(
Fig. 6C
), in lateral view, with one row of two to three (three in
holotype
) sensory pits followed by an isolated ventral pair.
Tergite
V
(
Fig. 6C
), in lateral view, with one row of two to four (two in
holotype
) sensory pits followed by an isolated ventral pair. Tergite
VI
(
Fig. 6C
), in lateral view, with one row of two to three (two in
holotype
) sensory pits followed by an isolated ventral pair. Tergite VII (
Fig. 6C
), in lateral view, with one row of two to three (three in
holotype
) sensory pits followed by an isolated ventral pair. Tergite VIII, in lateral view, with three sensory pits
.
Male terminalia.
Pygofer with anterior margin concave; posterior margin convex. Connective with tectiform structure bearing tectiductus; ventral support inverted Y-shaped. Gonostylus (
Fig. 6D
) hook-like; anterior portion pointed; caudal portion curved anterodorsally; dorsal margin follows almost straight and with a rounded protuberance in between anterior and median third; ventral margin mostly rounded; median third longer than high, setose. Endosoma (
Fig. 6E, F
) enclosing almost all phallobase and aedeagus lengths laterally and ventrally; asymmetrical, with two different sides linked ventrally, of which: one side is longer and with apex curved ventrally, comma-like; and other side is shorter and apically truncated, bearing triangular expansion ventrally directed to the longest side of endosoma at aedeagus midlength (
Fig. 6E
). Phallobase membranous, shorter than endosoma; enclosing aedeagus half-length laterally and ventrally; slightly visible in lateral view, apically and dorsally. Aedeagus (
Fig. 6E, F
) opened dorsally; apically, narrowing and with pair of aedeagal hooks (
Fig. 6F
), subequal in length, longer and thinner than aedeagus, and curved anterodorsally. Suspensorium V-shaped. Anal tube, in dorsal view, as long as wide and with posterior margin rounded; setose.
Taxonomic notes.
Differently from the description of
Ball (1935)
, the vertex of this species is not shorter than that of
P. papoosa
. The rest of the morphology is in accordance to the original description. This species can be easily distinguished from other
Papagona
based on its striking color pattern. However, the male terminalia of this species and of
P. papoosa
are very similar without major differences in overall structure of phallus. See taxonomic notes of
P. dietrichi
sp. nov.
above for more comparative notes.
