Pyrops auratus, a new lanternfly from the Philippines and taxonomic note on Bornean P. gunjii (Satô & Nagai, 1994) (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Fulgoridae) Author Constant, Jérôme text Belgian Journal of Entomology 2021 2021-03-08 112 1 19 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.13591418 2295-0214 13591418 13BADEAF-4D6D-4C29-9898-8A998F5C6B18 Pyrops nishiyamai Nagai & Porion, 2002 ( Figs 3–4 ) Pyrops nishiyamai NAGAI & PORION , 2002: 6 [described; compared with P. lautus ( Stål, 1870 , P. zephyrius ( Schmidt, 1907 ) and P. fumosus ( Baker, 1925 ) ]; pl. 1, fig. 4 [dorsal view of habitus]. Type in EUM. Pyrops nishiyamai – YAP et al ., 2017: 4 [listed]. DIAGNOSIS . This species can be separated from all other species of Pyrops by the following combination of characters: (1) posterior wings bright yellow with narrow black band along apical margin ( Fig. 4 A ); (2) cephalic process elongate, weakly curved and narrowing from base to mid-length, not widening towards apex in dorsal view ( Fig. 4 A, C, E ); (3) head brown dorsally and on sides of cephalic process; frons, ventral half of genae and cephalic process ventrally pale yellowish, dorsal part of genae to anteocular carina black ( Fig. 4 A, C, E ); (4) tegmina green with unclear yellow markings forming poorly defined bands on proximal half; 5–6 large yellow markings in costal area; cells black in a narrow area extending from costal area, along distal margin, to apex of clavus; about 6–7 round yellow spots in distal zone of black cells; 4–5 yellow spots in green portion of distal half ( Fig. 4 A–B ). DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS . The most similar species is P. auratus sp. nov. ( Fig. 1 ) from which P. nishiyamai differs by its more slender (LPr/BPrH 10.6 = vs 7.56 in P. auratus sp. nov. ) and mostly brown cephalic process (mostly green in auratus sp. nov. ), the unclear yellow spots on tegmina (yellow transverse bands on tegmina of auratus sp. nov. ) and the narrower area with black cells along apical margin. Pyrops philippinus ( Stål, 1870 ) ( Fig. 8 ) somewhat resembles P. nishiyamai but can be separated at first glance by the black area of posterior wings covering distal 1/3 (only a narrow black band along apical margin in P. nishiyamai ).
