Diagnosis.
This species can be easily separated from all other
Anisoderomorpha
species by the following characteristic: elytra dark green with metallic luster.
Description.
Male.
Body length =
15.55 mm
. Elytral length =
10.66 mm
.
Coloration almost brownish red; antennae and legs black; elytra dark green with metallic luster.
Head (
Fig. 15
) almost symmetrical, with microscopic setae. Clypeus rounded, asymmetrical, dilated on right side of anterior margin, delimited by a transverse impressed line. Eyes strongly prominent. Maxilla rather feebly chitinous, the inner lobe armed with three minute blunt teeth at the tip. Mandibles slightly asymmetrical (length:
1.38 mm
for left;
1.18 mm
for right). Antenna (
Fig. 16
) with 5-segmented club; antennomere III> II> IV = V = VI; VII dilated terminally, as long as wide; VIII dilated terminally, distinctly wider than VII, as wide as IX and X; IX and X strongly transverse; XI trapezoidal-ovate, transverse, a little narrower than X.
Pronotum (
Fig. 17
) subquadrate, slightly longer than wide, convex in front, feebly narrowed from the front to the hind margin; lateral side slightly arcuate, slightly sinuate just before posterior angles; basal margin only slightly arched posteriorly at median part; posterior angles slightly projected. Prosternal process (
Fig. 18
) forming a rounded deflexed lobe behind the coxae. Metaventrite acutely notched between the hind coxae, with a deep groove along the midline.
Scutellar shield (
Fig. 19
) as long as wide. Elytra (
Figs. 13, 19–21
) very straight; the intervals rugulose and minutely, rather closely punctured; apical margins evenly rounded. Tibiae smooth. Tarsi (
Figs. 13, 14
) moderately dilated and fairly long. Abdominal ventrites 1–4 with a deep pit on each side.
Male terminalia. Sternite VIII (
Fig. 23
) parallel-sided; posterior part closely pubescent and punctate; apical margin concave; basal margin V-shaped. Tegmen (
Fig. 24
) ventrally with a pair of sclerotized ridges in middle, enclosing penis; parameres distinctly asymmetrical in length, flattened, stout, with long setae at apical part. Penis (
Figs. 25, 26
) long, flat, curved laterally; narrowed apically, produced and rounded at the apex; penile struts as long as the length of median lobe excluding penile struts.
Female.
Body length =
13.56–21.40 mm
(
n
= 5). Elytral length =
9.09–14.50 mm
(
n
= 5).
Female similar to male in general appearance except for the following characters:
Head (
Fig. 30
) very large, distinctly asymmetrical. Genae dark red to black. Eyes smaller than in male, slightly prominent. Mandibles distinctly asymmetrical (mean length ± SD = 2.57 ±
0.55 mm
, range =
1.95 to 3.14 mm
,
n
= 5 for left; 1.61 ±
0.32 mm
, range =
1.27 to 1.98 mm
,
n
= 5 for right). Pronotum (
Fig. 32
) inverted-trapezoid, large, as long as wide; lateral side strongly arcuate, sinuate just before posterior angles; basal margin protruded outwardly at the median part; posterior angles distinctly projected. Prosternal process (
Fig. 33
) wider than in male. Scutellar shield (
Fig. 34
) wider than long. Protarsi (
Figs. 28, 29
) much wide. Mesotarsi (
Figs. 28, 29
) wide.
Female terminalia. Sternite VIII (
Fig. 38
) parallel-sided; posterior part closely pubescent and punctate; apical margin strongly concave; basal margin strongly V-shaped. Ovipositor (
Figs. 39, 40
) straight, long, narrow. Gonocoxite acute; lateral side slightly arcuate at basal part; right gonocoxite rather longer than left one; setae present near stylus. Stylus (
Fig. 39
) short, with long setae, located subapically. Spermatheca (
Fig. 41
) curved and elongate, with apex spherically expanded.
