Manota incisa
sp. n.
(
Fig. 13A
)
Description
. Large species.
Male.
Head.
Antenna with fourth flagellomere 1.7 times as long as wide. Maxillary palpus with third palpomere bearing 3 curved sensilla; fourth palpomere with a parasegment apically.
Thorax
. Anterior basalare bare. Laterotergite setose. Episternum 3 with ventral portion setose.
Wing
. Length
1.9 mm
. Membrane with a few setae along posterior margin. Sc bare. CuA2 fading away proximally.
Terminalia
(
Fig. 13A
). Sternite 9 distinct, with posterior margin straight; with setae larger than, or as large as, those on gonocoxites. Ventrolateral lobes of gonocoxites sharply incised; interiorly with 3–4 fine setae. Distolateral lobes of gonocoxites short; with large, straight setae. Gonocoxites ventrally beyond insertion of gonostyli with a bare, sclerotised margin, followed posteriorly by a small, setose lobe; in position I+II with numerous short, stiff setae on lobe plus 1 small, flat, pointed megaseta (not illustrated); in position III with 2 flat, twobranched megasetae with one branch broadly rounded and the other whiplike; in position IV with 3 setae on lobe. Gonostyli small, flat; with 2 short, stiff setae plus 1 longer seta dorsoposteriorly and 1 pointed megaseta plus 1 seta antero apically. Parastylar lobes hidden behind gonostyli, very weak, bare. Parameral apodemes widely spread. Tegmen evenly tapering to tip; ventrolateral lobes very distinct. Hypoproct rounded apically; distolaterally with fine, rather long setae.
Diagnostic characters
. Among the species with setose laterotergites, it has the terminalia quite distinct because of the strikingly incised ventrolateral lobes of the gonocoxites.
Etymology
. From Latin,
incisus
, incised, referring to the outline of the gonocoxites.
