Manota horrida
sp. n.

A smallsized
Manota
.
Male.
Head.
Flagellomere 4,
Fig. 15A
. Maxillary palpus with palpomere 3 bearing 5 apically expanded curved sensilla; palpomere 4 with parasegment.
Thorax.
Anepisternum setose. Anterior basalare nonsetose. Preepisternum 2 setose. Laterotergite nonsetose. Episternum 3 setose.
Wing
. Length
1.3–1.5 mm
. Wing membrane dorsally with few setae at posterior margin. Sc distally of h nonsetose. A1 indicated by few setae.
Hypopygium
(
Figs. 15B, C
). Sternite 9 large, extending posteriorly to nearly halfway along ventral length of gonocoxa, laterally sharply delimited, posterior margin transverse, straight but rather indistinctly indicated, setae similar to adjacent ventral setae of gonocoxa. The dorsomesial margin of gonocoxa simple, other apical structures simple except for transverse lobe bearing 3 strong apical setae, 2 long curved megasetae in position III, arising from common basal body, no other megasetae. Gonostylus long and narrow, curved especially on apical part, with unusually strong and long seta apically, with row of about 5 large apically angulate, flattened setae apicolaterally on dorsal side. Parastylar lobe present, directed obliquely anteriad, with couple of apical setae. Tegmen long, with strong lateral shoulders. Setae on sternite
10 in
2 rows on each half.
Female and preimaginal stages unknown.
Discussion
Manota horrida
is more or less similar to
M. plusiochaeta
, but has the transverse lobe apicodorsally on the gonocoxa larger and with stronger setae, and a quite different gonostylus (
Figs. 15B
,
17B
) which does not resemble any other described species in its apical and apicodorsal armature.
