A, G = prestrigilar flap; B, H = median lobe of sternite VII; C, I = free lobe; D, J = right paramere; E, K = left paramere; F = fore leg. Micronecta anatolica anatolica – Jansson 1995: 31 (catalogue). Diagnosis Body length 2.0–2.5. Protonum distinctly longer than median head length. Hemelytron generally brown. Males: fore femur with two spines on distal third ventrally and a pair of spines distally; fore tibia without spines; palar claw broadened distally, apex rounded. Median lobe of sternite VII short, with four long setae and an angular apex ( Fig. 9B ). Free lobe slightly expanded posteriorly, mesial angle rounded, lateral angle square with ca 15 long setae ( Fig. 9C ). Left paramere: shaft broad, flat, tapering towards rounded apex; basal lobe long, tongue-shaped ( Fig. 9E ). Right paramere: shaft parallel sided, strongly bent (at angle of nearly 90°) at distal fourth, then tapering towards narrowly rounded apex; base with a distinct hump on mesial side, near base of shaft ( Fig. 9D ).
