Scales: a – aedeagus; b – detail of paramere.
Male genitalia. Median lobe of aedeagus evenly curved to apex. Parameres long and narrow, with four long and two shorter setae apically, base with short field of pores along ventral surface (
Fig. 10
).
Bionomics.
Satonius stysi
sp. nov.
was collected in hygropetric habitats in the spray zone along the Jade Dragon waterfall and on a seepage near the waterfall but not connected to the stream (
Figs. 3-4
). Both microhabitats had only a thin film of water (up to
2 mm
) and were covered with a macroscopic algal mat. The new species was collected together with unidentified species of
Anacaena
Thomson, 1859 (Hydrophilidae)
and
Cephalobyrrhus
Pic, 1923 (Limnichidae)
.
Etymology.
The new species is dedicated to Prof. Pavel Štys (Charles University,
Prague
,
Czech Republic
), our teacher and a specialist on the Heteroptera.
Distribution.
