sp. nov.
in the colour pattern of body and shapes of aedeagus and gonopods, but can be distinguished by the aedeagus longer than wide, apically straight and slightly bilobed in lateral view (
Figure 10
(d)).
Description
Clypeus brown. Palpus yellow. Mesoscutum yellow medially, with two pairs of broad, brown longitudinal stripes sublaterally (
Figure 4
(d)). Scutellum brown medially, yellow along margin (
Figure 4
(d)). Katepisternum yellow, slightly brownish anteriorly. Wing greyish basally, greyish brown distally, posterior crossvein and neighbouring longitudinal veins darkened (Figure 2(h)). Abdominal tergites: 1st yellow; 2nd and 3rd yellow medially, dark brown laterally; 4th to 6th almost entirely dark brown, slightly yellow along anteromedially (
Figure 5
(i)). Male terminalia: Epandrium nearly rectangular on posterolateral corners, with dense pubescence and setae (
Figure 10
(a)). Cercus lacking pubescence (
Figure 10
(a)). Surstylus small lobe-shaped, with several setae each basally and apically (
Figure 10
(a, b)). Parameres absent (
Figure 10
(c, d)). Aedeagus broadened mediolaterally and strongly sclerotized except peristome, pubescent ventrally, and with one pair of small projections above peristome; expanded outward on both sides of peristome (
Figure 10
(c, d)). Gonopods broadened to hood-shaped, not bilobed apically (
Figure 10
(e)).
