Revision of the genus Dziriblatta Chopard, 1936 (Blattodea, Ectobiidae, Ectobiinae) III. The species of the subgenus Dziriblatta Author Bohn, Horst text Zootaxa 2021 2021-04-22 4964 2 201 250 journal article 7082 10.11646/zootaxa.4964.2.1 f6358454-a183-429b-9c35-b59108c92c99 1175-5326 4709177 4DF7D5B3-42EE-4C6D-ABBB-5BF0BEECB7D2 8. Dziriblatta (Dz.) altotuberculata , spec. nov. Figs. 17A–N , 18, 19, 27, 28, 29 Diagnosis. In the male sex similar to Dz. ( Dz .) planotuberculata , distinguished by the longer and narrower lateroposterior corners of T7, and—in common with Dz . ( Dz .) ramososacculata —by the higher and more strongly sculptured elevations on the posterior wall of the pit, and by the elongated pre-glandular margin of T7; from the latter distinguished by the pouch lobes having no or only few side branches. Etymology. The species name refers to the relatively high (in Latin: altus ) mound (in Latin: tuber) inside the glandular pit. Material studied. Type material. MOROCCO .

Very similar to the preceding species ( 7 ), distinguished as follows: posterior border of T6 medially usually with a deeper sinusoidal excavation ( Fig. 17I–K ); T7 with latero-posterior corners still more produced and narrower ( Figs. 18 , 19 ); pre-glandular margin ( pm ) distinctly longer; opening of glandular pit wider, with a more strongly curved anterior margin; posterior ridge ( pr ) and central elevation ( ce ) at the posterior wall of the pit higher and more strongly sculptured, the latter due to the steeper ascent in the images appearing as a transversal ridge crossing the posterior ridge; bulge ( bu ) posteriorly of the opening usually narrower but more elevated and more strongly set off from the neighbouring tergite surface. In the following characters very similar to the preceding species: Pouch lobes tubular, long, wriggled, at most with weak signs of a branching ( Fig. 18 ), cuticular lining with long bristlelike microtrichial processes, inclining towards the exit. T10 with median part of posterior border shallowly but distinctly concave ( Fig. 17H ). Spatular bristles laterally on T5–7: densely arranged only on T7 ( Figs. 17E–G ). No glandular pores on T2. Colouration. Tegmina in both sexes transparent, posterior border at the base slightly darkened, otherwise without darker markings. Male. Mainly dark (brown). Head dark, with yellowish post-interocular stripe; legs usually dark apart from lighter coloured coxa-trochanter and femur-tibia joints usually dark, but frequently with more extended lightly coloured areas; discs of thoracic nota dark, margins transparent ( Fig. 17L ); T2–6 anteriorly of ridge uniformly dark, posteriorly of ridge mostly dark, but not seldom partly, especially laterally, lightened and then disclosing a dense covering with medium-sized dark patches ( Figs. 17 A-C, I-K), T7 between bulge and lateral margin with a strikingly lightened area, sometimes only restricted to the anterior part of this area ( Figs. 17D , 18, 19); sternites completely dark. Female . Head dark, with yellowish post-interocular stripe; legs almost completely yellowish; discs of thoracic nota dark, sometimes with smaller or larger lightenings ( Fig. 16M, N ), margins transparent; tergites on a yellowish ground colour with a moderately developed maculose pattern; sternites mainly dark, lateral margins broadly yellowish. Distribution. This species further continues the distribution of the two preceding species along the Middle Atlas in the northern part of Jebel Bou Iblane and the Jebel Tazzeka, adjoining in the Northwest, at elevations of 1300–1900 m ( Figs. 27 , 28 ).
