Arcofacies longispinus
sp. nov.
(
Figs 1–12
)
Measurements.
Body length including forewing: male 3.0–
3.1 mm
(
N
= 2), forewing length: male
2.4–2.5 mm
(
N
= 2).
Diagnosis.
The salient features of the new species include the following: anal segment of male with lateroapical processes symmetrical (
Fig. 7
); pygofer in posterior view with 4 spinous medioventral processes (
Fig. 7
); aedeagus with long spinous process at base, apex acute, directed ventrad, middle ventral margin of aedeagus with small process (
Figs 9, 10
); apex of genital style not forked (
Figs 11, 12
).
Coloration.
General color yellowish brown with green. Frons, vertex, pronotum and mesonotum with median carina white bordered with blackish brown (
Figs 3–5
). Eyes yellowish to blackish brown; ocelli reddish brown. Antennae with apex of scape blackish brown, pedicel yellowish white (
Fig. 4
). Lateral margins of gena, vertex and pronotum each with oblique white band bordered with brown or dark brown (
Figs 3, 4
). Clypeus yellowish white (
Fig. 4
). Forewings with pale brown over basal third, rest area hyaline, along transverse vein and apical veins with brown stripes as figured (
Fig. 6
), in dark portion veins with white spots. Wings hyaline with brown veins. Legs yellowish brown.
Head and thorax.
Vertex (
Fig. 3
) wider at base than long submedially about 0.97: 1. Frons longer in middle line than wide at widest part about 1.25: 1, widest above ocelli. Antennae surpassing frontoclypeal suture, scape long equal to wide, shorter than pedicel about 0.38: 1 (
Fig. 4
). Pronotum shorter than vertex about 0.50: 1. Mesonotum longer in middle line than vertex and pronotum combined about 1.55: 1 (
Fig. 3
). Forewing longer in middle line than wide at widest part about 2.37: 1 (
Fig. 6
).
Male genitalia.
Anal segment of male short, lateroapical angles produced into stout spinous process respectively (
Fig. 7
). Pygofer in posterior view ventral margin with four medioventral processes, finger-like (
Fig. 7
), in lateral view ventral angles distinctly produced (
Fig. 8
). Aedeagus with long spinous process at base, apex acute, directed ventrad, middle ventral margin of aedeagus with small process (
Figs 9, 10
). Genital styles long, reaching ventral margin of anal segment, broad at base, narrowing to apex (
Figs 11, 12
).

Remarks.
This species is similar to
A. varius
sp. nov.
but differs by: (1) anal segment of male with lateroapical processes symmetrical (
Fig. 7
) (anal segment with lateroapical processes asymmetrical, left one distinctly longer than right one in
A. varius
sp. nov.
); (2) middle ventral margin of aedeagus with small process (
Figs 9, 10
) (middle ventral margin of aedeagus without process in
A. varius
sp. nov.
); (3) genital styles in posterior view not distinct divergent (
Fig. 7
) (genital styles in posterior view distinct divergent in
A. varius
sp. nov.
).
Etymology.
The specific name is a combination of the Latin words “
longus
” and “
spinus
”, referring to the aedeagus basally with a long spinous process.
