Stegana (Oxyphortica) spinosa
Cheng and Chen
,
sp. nov.
, male terminalia. (a) epandrium, cercus and surstylus (lateral view); (b) surstylus (ventral view); (c) hypandrium, parameres, aedeagus and aedeagal apodeme (ventral view). Scale lines = 0.1 mm.
Diagnosis
Surstylus subbasally with irregular 1 row of ca. 6 somewhat thickened setae along inner margin, distally with two prensisetae (
Figure 15
(b)); aedeagus erect and broadened, acute apically, its medial part sligtly spinulose and with a pair of thorn-like processes, one sheaf of setulae on submedial portion per side (
Figure 15
(c)).
Description
Body colour had been almost lost, because preservation in 70% ethanol for long time. Male terminalia: Epandrium slightly prominent on posterolateral corners, with pubescence and dense setae (
Figure 15
(a)). Cercus lacking pubescence (
Figure 15
(a)). Surstylus basally with a few small setae, submedially curved, distally with ca. 12 long setae except prensisetae (
Figure 15
(b)). Hypandrium with one pair of large flaps anteromedially (
Figure 15
(c)). Parameres slender, fused basally, with ca. 7–8 sensilla (
Figure 15
(c)). Gonopods low-reaching, fused with each other (
Figure 15
(c)).
