Ectopsocus valvilobatus
n. sp.
(
Figures 18–28
)
Diagnosis.
E. valvilobatus
is similar in shape, morphology of clunium and wings to
E. titschacki
, but it has an aedeagal arch stout, apically rounded, V-shaped, while in the latter the internal parameres are fused in a wide apical structure with two subtriangular lateral projections. In
E. valvilobatus
the eight abdominal tergite has two papillar fields in the middle of the posterior margin (
Fig. 22
), absent in
E. titschacki
. In addition, the females of
E. valvilobatus
have lobed external valves, quite different from those in
E. titschacki
.
Description.
Male. Color.
Head creamy, compound eyes black, ocelli hyaline. Thoracic terga pale brown. Legs pale yellow. Fore- and hind- wings creamy, with veins and margins light brown, abdomen pale yellow with dorsal subcuticular bands pale brown

Morphology.
Head as illustrated (
Fig. 20
). Short setae on forewings veins and margins (
Fig. 18
). Hindwing margin glabrous (
Fig. 19
). Hypandrium broad, with setae as illustrated, longer than maximum width, posterior border slightly lobed (
Fig. 24
). Six endophallic sclerites present (
Fig. 21
): three anterior, two crescent shaped and one sinuous; three posterior, one stout, “handle” shaped, one sinuous, with a pair of sharp projections and one arcuate, inverted. Paraprocts broadly elliptic, without transverse row of setae, sensory fields with nine trichobothria, eight in basal rosettes; marginal spines asymmetric, short and bifid (
Fig. 25
). Epiproct bell-shaped, with setae as illustrated (
Fig. 25
). Clunium (
Fig. 23
), apical comb with 26–29 teeth apically blunt.

Female.
Color
. Same as the male; subgenital plate with apical lobes light brown.
Morphology.
Subgenital plate broad, with setae as illustrated (
Fig. 26
); subapical transverse row with six stout setae (
Fig. 26
). Gonapophyses: ventral and dorsal valves membranous, with a small, sclerotized marginal band, external valve with lobed apex and six setae. Ninth sternum membranous, with a well sclerotized comma-shaped spermapore (
Fig. 28
). Paraprocts ovoid, with a transverse row of 4–5 long setae; marginal spines bifid, symmetric and short; sensory fields with nine trichobothria, eight in basal rosettes (
Fig. 27
). Epiproct bell-shaped, setae as illustrated (
Fig. 27
).
