but can be separated from this and all other known species in the subgenus by the following characters: proximal mesosome with flat proximal margin, and with antero-lateral extensions long and slender, almost reaching lateral margins of basal apodeme (
Figs 53–54
); gonopore of unique shape among all species of the genus (
Fig. 54
); female abdominal segment VI with only 1
ps
on each side (

Description.
Both sexes
.
Head rounded trapezoidal (
Fig. 52
), lateral margins of preantennal head slightly convex, frons slightly concave. Marginal carina broad, narrowing anterior to
dsms
, deeply displaced and widened at osculum. Ventral anterior plate rounded, with concave anterior margin and straight lateral margins. Head chaetotaxy as in
Fig. 52
. Preantennal nodi wide, bulging. Pre- and post-ocular nodi large, connected dorsally by ocular band. Marginal temporal carina slender. Gular plate triangular, lateral margins slightly concave. Thoracic and abdominal segments as in
Figs 50–51
. Base pigmentation translucent; head nodi dark brown; mandibular framework, margins of antennal sockets, gular plate, proepimera, and metepisterna medium brown; sternal plates II–VI and subgenital plates pale brown.
Male.
Thoracic and abdominal chaetotaxy as in
Fig. 50
; sternite IV with 1
sts
on each side. Basal apodeme rounded proximally (
Fig. 53
), lateral margins concave. Proximal mesosome with slender antero-lateral extensions that almost reach lateral margins of basal apodeme (
Figs 53–54
), proximal margin flat. Mesosomal lobes divergent distally. Distal margin of mesosome flat to slightly convex. Gonopore distally bifid, with slightly hooked anterolateral extensions. Dorsal fringe tilted slightly posteriorly, without thumb-like process. Chaetotaxy: 2 ventral
gpmes
microsetae on each side of distal gonopore; 2
lpmes
microsetae on each side on mesosomal lobes; 1 dorsal
ames
microseta on each side proximal to dorsal fringe. Parameres and
pst1–2
as in
Fig. 55
.
Female.
Thoracic and abdominal chaetotaxy as in
Fig. 51
; abdominal segment VI with 1
ps
on each side. Subgenital plate as in
Fig. 56
, lateral margins sinuous, distal margin broadly flattened. Vulval margin concave medianly, with 2 short, slender
vms
and 1 short, thorn-like
vss
on each side; 4–7 short, slender
vos
on each side of subgenital plate; distal 2–3
vos
distal to
vss
, and about twice as long as
vms
. Measurements as in
Table 1
.
Etymology.
The species epithet is derived from Latin “
cinis
” for “ash” and Greek “
temnein
” for “I cut”, referring to the ashy plumage of the host.
