Fig. 75
), medial line, fore and hind margins blackish, fore margin with submedian anterior comma-shaped spot at each side of medial line; pedestal (
Fig. 75
) of each side almost touching basally, strongly elongated, parastylus short, very broad and rounded apically with inner corner strongly projected; forceps translucent white; base of main lobe of penes (
Fig. 76
) strongly expanded laterodorsally, ear-like, penes narrowing abruptly on apical half, main lobe of penes apically pointed and curved ventrally; secondary membranous lobe translucent, relatively short and cylindrical. Caudal filaments translucent whitish yellowish.
Etymology.
This species is dedicated with much pleasure to Janice Peters who continuously encourages and helps us with the study of
Polymitarcyidae
, especially
Campsurus
.

Diagnosis.
Campsurus janae
sp. nov.
is known from male adults only. It can be distinguished from other species of
Campsurus
by: 1) posterior margin of male abdominal sternum IX truncated (
Figs. 75
); 2) pedestal almost touching each other medially, strongly elongated, parastylus short, broad and rounded apically, inner corner strongly projected (
Fig. 75
); 3) base of main lobe of penes strongly expanded laterodorsally (
Fig. 76
), penes narrowing abruptly on apical half, main lobe of penes apically pointed and curved ventrally; secondary membranous lobe relatively short and cylindrical; 4) small size (length of male fore wings
6.5 mm
).
Discussion.
Campsurus janae
sp. nov.
is similar to
C. pereirae
sp. nov.
, but the extremely large and elongated pedestal of
C. janae
sp. nov.
easily differentiates it.
Campsurus janae
sp. nov.
is described as a pharate male imago (still inside the subimaginal cuticle), but the characteristic genitalia are sclerotized and in their final configuration.
