Diagnosis.
The male of
Chimarra denticulata
can be separated from other New
Guinea
species, particularly
C. missim
, by the shape of the inferior appendages, which have two prominent teeth on the mesal margin in ventral view and the broad, keel shaped ventral process on segment IX.
Description.
General body colour and wings light brownish. Wings similar to those of
C. ukarumpana
(fig. 7), length of forewing: male 4.6 mm. Forewing with forks 1, 2, 3 and 5 present, Rs sinuous or curved, thickened, basad of discoidal cell.
Male
. Segment IX anterior margin in lateral view, anteroventrally rounded (fig. 140), ventral process in lateral view broad, weakly keel-like, length about 0.2 times basal width (fig. 140). Preanal appendages, in lateral view ovate (fig. 140), in dorsal view appear rounded (fig. 142). Segment X lateral lobes laterad and ventral to phallus, with sensilla not discerned (figs 140, 142), in lateral view appear tapered distally (fig. 140), in ventral view lobes appear tongue-shaped (fig.141). Phallus with two elongate, slender spines included subapically (figs 140–142). Inferior appendages broadest in basal half, tapered in distal half, apices directed posteriorly, acute (figs 140, 141), in lateral view angled at about 30° to horizontal, length about 4.5 times width with dorsal margin nearly straight, ventral margin with angular projection present near midlength (fig. 140), in ventral view lateral margins slightly curved, mesal margins curved with two prominent teeth near midlength (figs 141, 142).
Female
. Unknown.
Etymology. Denticulata
– Latin for finely toothed, serrated (two teeth on inner margin of inferior appendages).
Remarks.
Chimarra denticulata
is known from the
type
locality in north-east
PNG
.
