Pseudostegana bingxueae
sp. nov.
(
Figures 4
(a–f) and 8)
Diagnosis
This species is most closely related to
P. nitidifrons
Chen and Wang
in
Chen et al. (2005)
from
Yunnan
,
China
in the slender palpus (
Figure 4
(a)) and wing pattern (
Figure 4
(c)), but can be distinguished from it by the male terminalia: in this species, paramere apically acute (
Figure 8
(b,c)); aedeagus apically hook-like, curved dorsad in lateral view (
Figure 8
(c)). The interspecific genetic distance to
P. nitidifrons
is 12.0%, but to
P. husaensis
sp. nov.
11.0% is the smallest within this group; there are 10 diagnostic sites between
P. bingxueae
sp. nov.
and
P. nitidifrons
, and four diagnostic sites between
P. bingxueae
sp. nov.
and
P. husaensis
sp. nov
(
Figure 2
).
Description
Male.
Head (
Figure 4
(a,d)): Ocellar triangle brown, slightly narrowly elongated to anterior margin of frons. Frons brown. Pedicel yellow; first flagellomere greyish yellow. Face yellow. Clypeus medially black, brown laterally. Gena brownish. Palpus brownish and slender. Thorax (
Figure 4
(b,e)): Scutum anteriorly brown and with thin medial stripe, posteriorly black. Pleura nearly black. Katepisternal setae two. Scutellum brown, pale at tip. Legs: Pale yellow, brown on fore leg femur, black on mid and hind legs femora and tibiae. Abdomen (
Figure 4
(f)): First and second tergites dark brown medially, the rest black. Sternites brown on second and third, dark brown on the rest. Male terminalia (
Figure 8
): Epandrium slightly roundly protruding on ventral margin, with about 17 setae per side. Surstylus protruding on posteroventral corner. Cercus ventrally broadened. Paramere subapically with three long sensilla and submedially several sensilla on dorsal projection. Aedeagus submedially expanded in lateral view. Basal process long with about 10 finger-like projections.
