Remarks.
The new species is somewhat similar to
Noonamyia bisubulata
sp. nov.
from
China
(Hainan) in the following characters: face with a pair of shining brown stripe–like spots between stomatic margin and parafacials; palpus blackish brown except yellow on basal 1/3; hind tibia with a preapical
ad
; abdomen brownish black except protandrium and epandrium pale brownish yellow. But it can be separated from the latter by the protandrium circular without ventral bridge, the surstylus with a subuliform and incurved process, the hypandrium U–shaped and the gonopod spoon–like. In
bisubulata
, the protandrium is circular with ventral bridge, the surstylus consists of a short awl–shaped process and a long curved awl–shaped process; the hypandrium is nearly W–shaped and the gonopod has two acuate furcated apical processes. The new species also differs from
euphlebia
Sasakawa
from
Malaysia
in the gonopod spoon–like and the membranous area of the aedeagus without tooth. In
euphlebia
, the gonopod is acinaciform and the membranous area of the aedeagus has small teeth (
Sasakawa 1998
).
Etymology.
Latinized from the English word ‘umbrella’, referring to a tinged brown umbrella–like spot on
r-m
; a feminine noun.
