Manota rara
sp. n.
(
Fig. 3C
)
Description
. Large species.
Male.
Head.
Antenna with fourth flagellomere 2.4 times as long as wide. Maxillary palpus with third palpomere bearing 3 curved sensilla; fourth palpomere with a parasegment apically.
Thorax.
Anterior basalare bare. Laterotergite setose. Episternum 3 with ventral portion setose.
Wing.
Length
2.2 mm
. Membrane nonsetose. Sc distally of h bare. Junction of CuA2 into CuA1 incomplete.
Terminalia
(
Fig. 3C
). Sternite 9 large, with posterior and most of lateral margins distinct; posterior margin straight, situated beyond mid length of gonocoxites; with setae larger than those on gonocoxites. Ventrolateral lobes of gonocoxites small, subrectangular. Distolateral lobes of gonocoxites small and only dorsally developed. Gonocoxites in position I+II with a circle of some 10–15 short setae, some setae very thick and blunt, others stiff and pointed; in position III with 2 flat megasetae, each twobranched with one branch whiplike and the other branch rounded; with 1 large, posteriorly directed seta displaced from position IV into dorsosubapical position. Gonostyli elongate, bilobed; posterior lobe large, rounded, with numerous large setae; inwardly directed lobe smaller, subtriangular in ventral view, with some 10 setae marginally, obviously with a dorsal extension bearing 2 short setae. Parastylar lobes small, largely hidden behind gonostyli; each lobe with 2–3 setae apicoposteriorly. Parameral apodemes widely spread. Tegmen constricted in distal half; margin of ventrolateral lobes distinct. Cerci unusually wide, longer than hypoproct. Hypoproct with short setulae distolaterally.
Diagnostic characters
. Among the species with long antennae and setose laterotergites, it has terminalia with very short distolateral lobes of the gonocoxites; elongate, bilobed gonostyli; unusually wide cerci; and gonocoxites with a characteristic circle of 10 15 short, stiff setae in position I+II.
