Neotrichia mucajai
sp. nov.
Figures: 4A–4D
Diagnosis
. This species does not fit well into any of the Species Groups of Marshall (1979) as defined by
Keth
et al.
(2015)
. The male of
Neotrichia mucajai
sp. nov.
resembles
Neotrichia botka
Oláh & Johanson
2011
in the long subgenital plate (
Fig. 4A
, sg) and elongate, rod-shaped bracteoles (
Figs 4A, 4C
, br). The new species differs from
N. botka
by segment IX having a long and slightly bifid process posteroventrally (
Fig. 4C
), and by the easily discernible segment X (
Figs 4A, 4B
).
Description
. Male (in alcohol): Dark brown, with length of each forewing
1.1 mm
(
holotype
). Postoccipital setal warts pronounced, large, ovoid. Antennae each with 18 articles; scape normal, cylindrical, slightly longer than pedicel; flagellomeres each as long as pedicel, cylindrical. Maxillary palp formula I-II-IV-III-V (shortest to longest), first two articles shorter than wide. Mesoscutellum with anterior margin convex; metascutellum convexly subtriangular.

, male genitalia. 4A, left lateral; 4B, ventral; 4C, dorsal; 4D, phallus, left lateral. br = bracteole (paired), ed = ejaculatory duct, ia = inferior appendage (paired), mp = membranous posterolateral process of segment IX (paired), pj = posterolateral projection of segment IX (paired), pr = paramere, sg = subgenital plate, vlp = ventrolateral process of segment X (paired), X = lobes of segment X (paired).
Male genitalia.
Segment IX retracted in segment VIII, anterolateral margins produced anterad at midheight in lateral view (
Fig. 4A
), anterodorsal margin V-shaped in dorsal view (
Fig. 4C
), anteroventral margin U-shaped in ventral view (
Fig. 4B
); dorsal surface with pair of protrusions each bearing apical seta (
Figs 4A, 4C
); posterolateral margins each with projection at midheight bearing 3 apical and subapical setae (
Figs 4A
, dotted lines in 4B, pj); posterolateral margin sclerotized mesally, with paired membranous processes slightly longer than inferior appendages each bearing short apical seta and a small median projection also ending in a short seta (
Figs 4
A–4C, mp). Segment X membranous, fused with dorsum of segment IX, in lateral view large, tapered to blunt apex, and with pair of membranous ventrolateral processes bearing apical setae (
Figs 4A, 4B
, vlp); in dorsal view, with deep mesal incision, pair of lateral lobes tapering apically and directed posterocaudad (
Figs 4A, 4C, X
). Subgenital plate in lateral view long, dorsally sclerotized and with apically downturned beak-like apex (
Fig. 4A
, sg); in ventral view long, wide basally and tapered to slightly quadrate apex, incised medially and flanked by a pair of apicolateral spines directed mesad (
Fig. 4C
, sg). Bracteoles elongate, rod-shaped (
Figs 4A, 4C
, br). Inferior appendages long, slender, tapering apically (
Figs 4A, 4C
, ia). Phallus slender distally, ending in sclerotized apical spine; paramere surrounding shaft and extending short distance posterad (
Fig. 4D
, pr); ejaculatory duct protruding apically (
Fig. 4D
, ed).
Female, larva, pupa, and egg.
Unknown.
