Diagnosis.
The male of
C. toliana
is most similar to
C. trigona
but can be separated from it and all other New
Guinea
species by the distinctive dorso-ventrally constricted apices on the inferior appendages, appearing in lateral view as a slender point but robust and truncate in ventral and dorsal views.
Description.
General body colour and wings light brownish. Wings similar to those of
C. ukarumpana
(fig. 7). Length of forewing: male 5.2 mm. Forewing with forks 1, 2, 3 and 5 present, Rs moderately sinuous or curved, slightly thickened basad of discoidal cell.
Male
. Segment IX anterior margin in lateral view, with angular extension ventrally (fig. 32); ventral process a short projection with apex about level with distal margin of segment IX, slightly tapered distally (figs 32, 33), in lateral view length about 2.7 times width (fig. 32), in ventral view triangular, distally acute (fig. 33); preanal appendages rounded apically (figs 32, 33). Segment X (damaged?) with a slender dorsal projection (fig. 32), lateral lobes platelike, adpressed to phallus, tapered to acute apices, two pairs of?conical sensilla obvious (fig. 34), in lateral view lateral lobes robust (fig. 32), in dorsal view lateral lobes slender (fig. 34). Phallus with one slender spine embedded subapically (fig. 32). Inferior appendages robust, tapered distally, apex dorso-ventrally flattened at least on left appendage, in lateral view appears slender, in ventral and dorsal views sub-truncate (right appendage slightly damaged; figs 32–34), in lateral view, angled at about 45° to horizontal, sub-triangular, length about 3 times width, ventral margin angled in basal half, dorsal margin almost straight (fig. 32), in ventral and dorsal views broadest in basal half, angled at about right angles basomesally, with irregularity or tooth on mesal margin (figs 33, 34).
Female.
Unknown.
Etymology. Toliana
– named after the
type
locality (Toli Valley, formerly the Swart Valley).
Remarks.
Chimarra toliana
is known only from the type locality in Indonesian
Papua
. The genitalia (inferior appendage only) of the
holotype
male is slightly damaged on the right side.
