Male FWs with a basal area generally paler; female ovipositor only about as long as FIII. Nisitrus crucius sp. nov. is similar to N. brunnerianus , from which it differs by smaller size and shorter ovipositor. It is also similar in size to N. vittatus and N. malaya sp. nov. but differs by female FW with cells on dorsal field mostly infumated black, gradually becoming yellow near CuA, M and R veins. Etymology The species name refers to the dark cross marking on the frons (ʻ crucis ʼ = ʻcrossʼ, in Latin). Material examined Holotype INDONESIA – Kalimantan • ♂ ; “ Biv.

Description Average size ( Fig. 7B ). Colour pattern somewhat intermediate between N. brunnerianus and N. vittatus . Vertex black with cream-coloured margin around eyes ( Fig. 11B ). Fastigium velvety black with creamcoloured margins. Scapes black dorsally, sometimes reddish ventrally or along dorso-inner margins. Antennae black. Frons yellow, face part of fastigium black between eyes, with a cross-shaped black pattern above mouthparts; clypeus sometimes darkened, mouthparts dark red brown to black ( Fig. 10B ). Maxillary palpi cream-coloured. Head lateral side generally black. Pronotal disk black with white setae ( Fig. 11B ). Lateral lobes of pronotum with dorsal third black, cream-coloured ventrally ( Fig. 12B ). Legs red brown, sometimes internal-basal area black. FIIIs dark red brown, knees dark brown to black; TIIIs brown with black spines and spurs, dark brown to black near distal end; tarsomeres dark brown to black. Hindwings dark hyaline, with a rounded transparent window near internal-basal area; longer than FWs, the dark brown tail exceeding the FWs about twice as long as pronotum. Tergites black, with a pale band laterally of variable thickness; sternites pale, with a black median area. Male FOREWINGS. FW colouration ( Fig. 13B ): dorsal field cells mostly transparent; veins mostly creamcoloured, sometimes black. Basal area brown, basally cream-coloured, brown towards distal part. R and Sc projections cream-coloured. Lateral field hyaline, with dorsal parts infumated cream-coloured. FW venation ( Fig. 13B ): 1A somewhat straight. Harp slightly longer than wide, with 2 oblique veins, distal one bifurcate basally. Cell c1 long and wide, c2 diamond-shaped; mirror (d1) longer than wide, not rounded, generally separated into two parts by a distinct straight transverse vein, the posterior part somewhat rectangular, much shorter than anterior part. Cell d2 narrower than d1, usually subdivided by accessory veins. Apical field short and rounded, with 3 wide cell alignments posterior to mirror and a narrow apical alignment; veins cream-coloured. Lateral field with 5 projections of Sc. Epiproct black. Subgenital plate pale cream-coloured with median area and anterior and posterior margins black. Table 4.
