Manota limonensis
sp. n.
(
Fig. 23
)
Description
. Small species.
Male.
Head.
Antenna with fourth flagellomere 2.1 times as long as wide. Maxillary palpus with third palpomere bearing 3 curved sensilla; fourth palpomere with a parasegment apically.
Thorax.
Anterior basalare and laterotergite each bare. Episternum 3 with ventral portion setose.
Wing.
Length
1.3 mm
. Membrane with a very few setae along posterior margin. Sc bare. Junction of CuA2 into CuA1 incomplete.
Terminalia
(
Fig. 23
). Sternite 9 with only posterior margin distinct, even though very faint; margin situated at mid length of gonocoxites, broadly rounded to almost straight. Ventrolateral lobes of gonocoxites marginally each with 1–2(–3) larger setae; interiorly with 1 seta on a separate rim. Distolateral lobes of gonocoxites large; with large setae directed posteriorly and shorter setae directed inwards. Gonocoxites in position I+II with 2 mediumsized, blunt megasetae on separate lobes, and 2 short, blunt megasetae on another lobe; in position III with 2 flat megasetae, one megaseta broadly rounded apically with tiny, pointed processes, the other broad with a whiplike tip; in position IV with 3 large setae. Gonostyli very small, dorsoposteriorly with a weak lobe; each with 1 large and 1 fine setae apically and 1 strong, stiff seta directed dorsally. Parastylar lobes large, weak, bare (not illustrated). Parameral apodemes widely spread. Tegmen narrow in distal half. Hypoproct broadly rounded apically; with fine, rather short setulae laterally.
Diagnostic characters
. It is in the group of species with both anterior basalare and laterotergites bare; terminalia with sternite 9 barely discernible; the distolateral lobes of the gonocoxites large; and the gonostyli small and flat. The array of megasetae dorsally on the gonocoxites is species specific. (Note, in particular, the megaseta on a fingerlike lobe in position I).
Etymology
. Derived from
Limón
, the name of the province where so many
Manota
species
, including this one, were collected.
