Brincadorus yanayacu
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 7
)
Type-locality:
Yanayacu,
Tungurahua Province
,
Ecuador
.
Length:
5.3 mm
.
Coloration:
Body yellow dorsally, and light yellow ventrally (
Figs. 7A–B
). Crown, pronotum and mesonotum with muscular markings slightly darker (
Figs. 7A–B
). Forewing translucent, yellow, without maculae or spots (
Figs. 7A–B
).
External morphology:
Coronal suture not reaching midlength of crown; frontal region slightly upturned in lateral view; crown texture with arching carinae coarse anteriorly and becoming faint posteriorly; anterior margin with numerous transverse carinae (
Figs. 7A–B
). Clypellar suture arcuate. Clypellus tumid in lateral view; constricted at base and tapering toward apex. Forewing without extra crossveins on costal margin (
Figs. 7A–B
). Profemur intercalary row with 10 to 11 setae; row AV with 5–6 moderately long macrosetae. Protibia rows AD+PD with 1+3 relatively small macrosetae. Other characters as in the generic description.
Male genitalia:
Pygofer with dorsal process short, curved posteroventrally (
Fig. 7C
). Subgenital plate inner margin excavated; apex oblique, thorn-like, projecting caudally, extending beyond apex of pygofer in lateral view (
Figs. 7C–D
). Connective relatively long, sinuate in lateral view; arms nearly parallel, slightly separated medially, closely appressed anteriorly (
Fig. 7E–F
). Style apophysis apex acuminate, smooth, not reaching midlength of subgenital plates, not extending beyond connective stem (
Fig. 7E–F
). Aedeagus without processes; shaft short, slightly expanded at midlength, becoming narrower towards apex, apex directed posterodorsally in lateral view; gonopore apical, opening dorsally (
Figs. 7F–G
). Phragma forming pair of long membranous lobes, with setae, ensheathing aedeagus shaft.
Female terminalia:
Female unknown.
Etymology:
The epithet of the new species refers to the type-locality of the
holotype
, Yanayacu,
Ecuador
. The epithet is in apposition to the generic name.
Notes:
Brincadorus yanayacu
sp. nov.
resembles
B. laticeps
and
B. cruceno
sp. nov.
, as they all lack basidorsal processes on the aedeagus. However, the new species can be distinguished by the relatively long connective, which is sinuate in lateral view, the thorn-like tips of subgenital plates, and short aedeagus, slightly expanded at midlength, and becoming narrower towards apex in lateral view (
Figs. 7E–G
).
