Hugel leg.; fn. SH422, SH423, de nuit; MNHN-EO-ENSIF10795, 10796 . ETYMOLOGY. — Species named after the lamella-shape of pseudepiphallic apical lobes in male genitalia. DIAGNOSIS. — Species very close to E. tenebrosus Desutter-Grandcolas, 1992 by its size, coloration, male FW size and venation, but separated from that species by male genitalia (as in E. tenebrosus , except for lamella-shaped dorsal valves), its slightly more narrow FWs (length/width ratio 1.42, n= 3, against 1.53, n = 6, in E. tenebrosus ), with fewer stridulatory teeth (232 against 259-264, n = 6, mean 262, in E. tenebrosus ). DESCRIPTION In addition to the character of the genus. General morphology Size only slightly bigger than E. tenebrosus . Fastigium, ocelli and palpi as in E. tenebrosus ; with lateral ocelli separate by a distance shorter than their own width. Coloration General coloration as on Fig. 26 . Face as in E. tenebrosus : black, with reversed Y-shaped line under median ocellus, a small yellow spot under antennal pit (in an area with many long setae), and a wider yellow area under lower angle of eye; but median yellow line thinner between antennal pits and spot under anterior angle of eye smaller ( Fig. 27A ). Maxillary palpi as in E. tenebrosus , but article 5 darker ( Fig. 27A ). Vertex ( Fig. 27B ) as in E. tenebrosus , with the most lateral yellow lines (behind the eyes) prolonged as a semi-circular line on the occiput (unnoticed in E. tenebrosus description). Pronotum ( Fig. 27B, C ) and legs ( Fig. 26 ) as in E. tenebrosus . FIG. 26. — Ectecous lamelliferus Desutter-Grandcolas , n. sp. , male paratype MNHN-EO-ENSIF10795 foraging at night on a tree trunk.

Male FWs covering abdomen up to half supra anal plate, as in E. tenebrosus . Venation ( Fig. 27D ): harp with 6 – 8 veins, mirror crossed by 4 – 5 concentric veins. Stridulatory file with 232 teeth (n=1). Subgenital plate short, truncated apically. Distal margin of supra anal plate with many long and thick setae ( Fig. 27E ). Male genitalia ( Fig. 27 F-H) Pseudepiphallic sclerite, rami, ectophallic apodemes, ectophallic fold (short and bifid) and endophallic apodeme as in E. tenebrosus (see Desutter-Grandcolas 1992b, Figs 59-61), but dorsal valves wide and thick, having the shape of nearly vertical lamellas ( Fig. 27H ), with sharp, curved denticles on lower margin ( Fig. 27G ); median lophi (= apical lobes) entirely membranous ( Fig. 27F, G ), convex on outer side, concave with abruptly vertical base on inner side. Female Unknown. Measurements (in mm) See Table 19 .
