Diagnosis.
Zadbimyia artborkenti
is another species with a single pair of apically curved paramere processes (
Fig.
6D) (see
Z. costaricensis
,
Fig. 4
B, and
Z. browni
,
Fig. 5
B). Unlike similar species, the ejaculatory apodeme in
Z. artborkenti
has a broad-lanceolate, often seemingly three-pointed apex (
Fig. 6
D), and the gonostyli are abruptly, not smoothly, curved apically (
Fig. 6
A–B).
Other male characters.
Body length
1.3 mm
.
Head
(
Fig. 2
B). Eye slightly narrowed ventrally, eye bridge 10–11 ommatidia long dorsally. Scape twice as long as pedicel. With 16–18 flagellomeres. Fourth flagellomere (
Fig. 6
C): neck length 0.4 × node length, neck on basal half with microtrichia, circumfilum irregularly sinuous, not looped. Palpus 4-segmented.
Legs.
Claws with tiny ancillary tooth subapically.
Terminalia.
Posterior margin of tergite IX concave medially. Gonocoxites (
Fig. 6
A): ventral emargination small, broadly U-shaped, with subtriangular sclerotization at base of U. Gonostylus parallel-sided on basal two thirds, then suddenly curved at almost right angle, tapered toward apex, excavated dorsomedially (
Fig. 6
A–B). Ejaculatory apodeme as long as parameres, basal portion weakly sclerotized, varying in shape (
Fig. 6
D). Parameres: basal portion subrectangular, apicomedial portion elongate, 3 times longer than wide; processes usually single-pointed (
Fig. 6
D), in one specimen with small ancillary point.
Etymology.
This species is named after Art Borkent, a world expert on the systematics of various families of Culicomorpha and co-principle investigator of the ZADBI project.
