Differential diagnosis
Morphology
The single male described here as
S. subimpressus
sp. nov.
differs from
S. paraimpressus
sp. nov.
in having shorter flagellomeral necks (the neck-to-node ratio in the fourth flagellomere is
1.5 in
S. subimpressus
(
Fig. 30C
) versus 2.0 in
S. paraimpressus
(
Fig. 29C
)) and in the construction of the gonostylus, of which the particulars are as follows. The gonostylus of
S. subimpressus
(
Fig. 30B
) is more compact; the thick black spines cover a markedly smaller area apically and apicomedially; the inside is less sharply separated from the outside (note the sharp longitudinal edge with black spines in
S. paraimpressus
,
Fig. 29B
); and the ventral protrusion bears not just ordinary setae but a small cluster of black spines. The two species might also differ in body length (
1.7 mm
in
S. subimpressus
versus
2.2 mm
in
S. paraimpressus
), but this difference, derived from a small specimen sample, should be taken with caution considering the size variation described for
S. impressus
(1.7‒2.0 mm,
Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013
). Larvae and females of the new species are unknown.
DNA barcode
The CO1 sequence (653bp) of the
holotype
specimen is available in BIN BOLD:AEO6709. Search on BOLDʼs BIN Database retrieved no further result for this BIN (accessed
27 Aug. 2023
).
Etymology
The name ‒ the Latin prefix ‘
sub
-’ means, in a broad sense, ‘beside’ ‒ is an allusion to the morphological similarity of this species to
S. impressus
.
