( Figs 23a & b ) Type material: ( 1♂ ). HOLOTYPE male ( CNCI ) 15/IV/1960 , Niizamachi , Saitama , JAPAN , T. Hayasaka leg. Diagnosis . Aspicera annae belongs to the group of species with prominent interfoveal carina and lateral surface of pronotum without sharp transverse carinae. Aspicera annae is similar to A. martae but in A. annae occiput is rugose, area between notauli and end of median mesoscutal furrow is flat seen in profile while in A. martae occiput is coriaceous with some weak carinae, area between notauli and end of median mesoscutal furrow is prominent seen in lateral view. Description Length. Female 2.90 mm .; male unknown. Coloration . Head, mesosoma and metasoma black. Scape and pedicellum black, flagellomeres dark brown. Leg dark brown. Wing veins medium brown. Head . Frons coriaceous, dorsal half and central areas rugose. Lateral frontal carinae weakly curved, sharp. Area between compound eye and lateral frontal carinae without transverse carinae. Gena in lateral view rounded, not expanded, coriaceous, with small transverse carinae. Vertex weakly incised, coriaceous, with oblique carinae from lateral to central ocelli. Ocelli weakly prominent. Occiput coriaceous with rugose carinae on dorsal 1/3, behind ocelli, and few effaced and incomplete transverse carinae basally. Antenna . Filiform. Antennal formula: 6.5(5): 3(4): 12(4): 10(4): 10.5(4): 12(4): 10(4): 11(4): 9(4): 9(4): 9(4): 9(4): 9(4): 14(3) Mesosoma . Lateral surface of pronotum coriaceous, with a few weak transverse carinae. Subpronotal plate not projected, dorsal margin with few scattered setae. Scutum coriaceous. Lateral line complete, very conspicuous. Antero-admedian lines sharp, prominent, reaching 1/3–1/2 scutum length, slightly confluent; median ridge rather weak. Notauli smooth in some areas, coriaceous near margins. Median mesoscutal furrow smooth on basal 2/3, coriaceous on dorsal 1/3. Area between notauli not prominent in lateral view. Parascutal sulcus ending near anterior end of notauli, pubescent, alutaceous. Mesopleuron coriaceous, with some rugose carinae on ventral area and anterior 1/3, smooth on dorsoposterior area. Scutellum 1.10 times scutum length, emarginate. Scutellar foveae smooth, slightly deep and large, scutellar pits shallow. Interfoveal carina prominent and continuing along scutellar disc to middle of scutellar spine. Scutellar disc with weak and confluent longitudinal carinae, slightly convex, very slightly sloping towards basis of scutellar spine in lateral view. Scutellar spine 0.70 times length of scutellar disc, narrow, with fine longitudinal rugae, clearly directing downwards in lateral view. Wing . Wing membrane hyaline. Radial cell 2.20 times longer than wide. Wing pubescence not reduced. Marginal pubescence long. R1 long. R2 straight. Rs+M absent. Derivatio nominis.
