Diagnosis.
Metrichia corazones
appears to be most closely related to
M. helenae
Flint and Bueno
on the basis of the lack of abdominal pouches, the quadrate inferior appendages, and the pair of subapical phallic spines. It differs from this species in the inferior appendages being more rectanguloid, the phallic spines being dissimilar in length, and the phallus having a median process. The new species has enlarged, flattened antennae (
Fig. 8H
) and darkened foreleg tibia, with a row of stout setae (
Fig. 8F
).
Description.
Length
1.3–1.5 mm
, 19 antennal segments, basal segments flattened and dilated, foreleg with tibia darkened and bearing row of stout setae, overall color brown (in alcohol).
Male genitalia.
Abdomen without eversable sacs, but with thick hair patches on segment VII and VIII, patches on VII much larger than those on VIII, with median sclerotized plate. Segment VII annular, with ventromesal process. Segment VIII triangular, narrowing anteroventrally. Segment IX truncate posteriorly, anteriorly narrowing ventrally; in dorsal view narrow posteriorly, anteriorly rounded. Preanal appendage (cercus) short and rectanguloid in lateral view; in dorsal view lobate; dorsolateral hook elongate and apically curving ventrad in lateral view; in dorsal view thick, with distal hook projecting laterally and serrate. Segment X elongate and narrow, in dorsal view thin and slightly tapering to notched apex, basally with membranous triangular lobe. Inferior appendages in lateral view rectanguloid, distally with posteroventral incision; in dorsal and ventral views wide basally, narrowing in distal ¼ length to acute apex. Phallus tubular, narrowing below mid-length where a lateral process originates, subapically with pair of spines, lowermost short, uppermost about twice length of lower and projecting posteriorly, apex with lateral sclerite.
