Spinivesica decipiens
,
new species
Figure 84, map 21, table 1, plates 28, 29
DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the J-shaped to weakly sigmoid endosoma, reflected to left in dorsal view, long erect spine with wavy margins arising just proximal to secondary gonopore, a weakly sclerotized microtrichiate plate, and absence of a lateral spine on body of endosoma (fig. 84, pl. 29). This combination of features distinctive among known species of
Spinivesica
.
DESCRIPTION:
MALE
: Mean total length 3.77, mean pronotum width 1.04. COLORATION (pl. 28): Pale to yellow, including all appendages (in preserved specimens); corium with a faint infuscate mark adjacent to inner angle of cuneus; membrane pale with a distinct but diffuse dark marking at apex of cells. SUR- FACE AND VESTITURE (pl. 28): Dorsum clothed with reclining, pale, simple setae. STRUCTURE:
Head
(pl. 28): Eyes in lateral view occupying two-thirds height of head, antenna inserted at ventral margin of eye, eye weakly emarginate above insertion; antennal segment 2 moderately long (1.00), 1.22 times width of head; labium reaching to about apex of mesocoxa.
Thorax
(pl. 28): Pronotum with lateral margins nearly straight, posterior margin weakly concave; mesoscutum moderately exposed.
Hemelytron
: Elongate, corial margin nearly straight, overall form very elongate ovoid; cuneus moderately elongate. GENITALIA (fig. 84, pl. 29):
Pygophore:
As in generic description.
Endosoma:
Distal onehalf strongly bent to left; dorsal strap bifid proximal to secondary gonopore, forming one long, narrow, distally projecting spine and another process supporting flattened microtrichiate plate and secondary gonopore; plate faint with opposite edge supported by distalmost portion of ventral strap; ventral strap terminating opposite subapicad of secondary gonopore.
Phallotheca:
Apical portion elongate, crest obscure.
Parameres:
Posterior process of left paramere strongly produced posteriad at midpoint in dorsal view; anterior process flattened. Right paramere relatively long, apex broadly and irregularly flattened on posterior angle.
