Lobotos oriolinus Bates, 1909 —oriole cuckoo-shrike. Type locality. “ Congo ”. Diagnosis. Indoceoplanetes ( Capnodella ) loboccupatrix n. sp. is separated from In . ( Cp. ) laurocorythes n. sp. by the following characters: frons convex in In . ( Cp. ) laurocorythes ( Fig. 226 ) but flat or concave in In . ( Cp. ) loboccupatrix ( Fig. 233 ); submedian interruptions of marginal carina clear in In . ( Cp. ) laurocorythes , but diffuse, and marginal carina may be only partially interrupted in In . ( Cp. ) loboccupatrix ; sternal plates III–VI and male subgenital plate translucent in In . ( Cp. ) laurocorythes , but with pale brown pigmentation in In . ( Cp. ) loboccupatrix ; distal margin of mesosomal lobes smooth in In . ( Cp. ) laurocorythes ( Fig. 228 ), but serrated at least partially in In . ( Cp. ) loboccupatrix ( Fig. 235 ); gonopore broad and with U-shaped anterior grove in In . ( Cp. ) laurocorythes ( Fig. 228 ), but slender with V-shaped grove in In . ( Cp. ) loboccupatrix ( Fig. 235 ); female subgenital plate broad in In . ( Cp. ) laurocorythes ( Fig. 230 ), but slender in In . ( Cp. ) loboccupatrix ( Fig. 237 ); 0–1 vsm in In . ( Cp. ) laurocorythes ( Fig. 230 ), but 2–3 vsm in In . ( Cp. ) loboccupatrix ( Fig. 237 ). Description. Both sexes . Head shape, structure, and chaetotaxy as in genus and subgenus descriptions, and Fig. 233 . Dorsal anterior plate with pale brown band which may be weak marginal carina in anterior end; submarginal interruptions of marginal carina not clear. Postocular nodi generally slightly larger than preocular nodi. Gular plate with prominent median point. Head pigmentation pale brown, with only preocular nodi and parts of mandibles much darker than rest. Thoracic and abdominal segments as in genus and subgenus descriptions, and as in Figs 231–232 . Thorax very pale, only proepimera and metepisterna with medium brown pigmentation. Sublateral nodi of pterothorax not conspicuously pigmented. Lateral section of tergopleurites and sternal plates III– VI and subgenital plate with medium brown pigmentation. Male . Abdominal chaetotaxy as in Table 2 and Fig. 231 . Basal apodeme ( Fig. 234 ) slender, bulging distally. Proximal mesosome diffuse, small, rounded. Gonopore ( Fig. 235 ) as slender convergent sclerites, widely open proximally and narrowly open distally; anterior groove narrow, V-shaped. Mesosomal lobes wide, overlapping dorsally with parameres, with irregular, in some specimens slightly serrated, distal margin; 2 ames microsetae on lateral margin of mesosomal lobes; 2 pmes sensilla on each side of gonopore. Parameral heads ( Fig. 236 ) broad, blunt. Parameral blades long, broad; pst1 sensillus; pst2 microseta, lateral near distal tip. Measurements ex Lobotos oriolinus (n = 7): TL = 1.35–1.47; HL = 0.34–0.36; HW = 0.32–0.35; PRW = 0.20–0.21; PTW = 0.27–0.29; AW = 0.35–0.42. Female . Abdominal chaetotaxy as in Table 2 and Fig. 232 . Subgenital plate slenderly pentagonal ( Fig. 237 ). Vulval margin gently rounded ( Fig. 237 ); 2–3 minute vsm on each side, and 4–6 short, thorn-like vss on each side; 6–8 long, slender vos ; distal 2–3 vos median to vss . Measurements ex Lobotos oriolinus (n = 20): TL = 1.48–1.87 (1.62); HL = 0.37–0.41 (0.39); HW = 0.34–0.39 (0.36); PRW = 0.21–0.25 (0.23); PTW = 0.27–0.34 (0.30); AW = 0.37–0.56 (0.46). Etymology. The species epithet refers to the genus name of the host, Lobotos , combined with Latin “ occupo ”, meaning “seize, invade, take possession of”, and the corresponding feminine suffix “ atrix ”. Type material. Ex Lobotos oriolinus [ as Lobotos lobatos oriolinus ]: Holotype ♂, “Congo”, Jul. 1937 , R. Meinertzhagen, 10622 (NHML) [marked with black dot on slide]. Paratypes: 7♂, 19♀, same data as holotype (NHML).
