Male terminalia structures of
Trichadenotecnum brevicornum
, showing terminalia in lateral view (A), epiproct in posterior view (B), hypandrium in ventral view (C) and phallosome in ventral view (D).
Etymology:
The specific epithet is taken from the Latin
concinnus
(= symmetric), indicating the symmetrical hypandrium of this species.
Description:
Male
.
Head
. White in ground colour; vertical and orbital markings blackish brown; coronal suture black; frontal suture bordered with blackish brown band dorsally; frons with pair of faint brown bands at middle and pair of blackish brown irregular bands laterally; gena white except ventral margin blackish brown; eye black, IO/D = 0.6; ocelli white, ocellar field black; antennal socket bordered with dark brown band; postclypeus with
c
. eight rows of pale brown spots dorsally, fused with each other ventrally forming a large blackish brown marking, dorsal margin and ventro-lateral corner without marking; anteclypeus brown. Antenna pale brown, scape and pedicel darker. Mouth parts pale brown; 4th segment of maxillary palpus dark brown.
Thorax
. Prothorax brown. Mesonotum white; anterior surface of scutum pale brown; anterior margin of lateral lobe of scutum black; posterior region of lateral lobe of scutum pale brown; anterior margin of scutellum blackish brown; postnotum white. Metanotum pale brown, with white markings on anterior and posterior regions of lateral lobe of scutum; anterior margin of scutellum blackish brown. Mesopleuron white except dorsal third and ventral margin brown. Metapleuron brown except membranous region white.
Legs.
Dark brown; fore femur, distal half of middle femur and all tibiae paler; distal tip of fore and middle femora with blackish brown spots ventrally; middle tibia with dark spot near distal end.
Forewing
(
Fig. 17J
). Spots in cell a
1
apparent, distal spot larger. Opposing spots in cell r large and distinct. Proximal band narrow, narrower in anterior half, with oval lighter pigmented portion in cell CuA. Distal band broad but faint. Spot on roof of cell m
3
small, distal half indistinct. Submarginal spots apparent; spot in cell r
5
larger; spot in cell m
3
indistinct. Marginal clouds faint.
Hindwing.
Hyaline, cell CuP with group of faint brown spots in distal half; veins brown.

Abdomen
. White, each segment with blackish brown band.
Terminalia
. Clunial arm (
Fig. 32A
) weakly sclerotized, not forming a free process apically, basally with membranous lobe. Eighth venter (
Fig. 32C
) with transverse, triangular sclerite, fused with hypandrium at middle. Epiproct lobe (
Fig. 32B
) slightly wider than long, slightly narrowing dorsally, posterior surface almost flattened. Paraproct (
Fig. 32A
): ventro-lateral band indistinct; distal process short. Hypandrium (
Fig. 32C
): left and right processes well developed, rising from postero-lateral corners, strongly curved, apices pointed and directed postero-internally; median tongue slightly broadened apically, with slight hollow medially on posterior margin, dorsal keel rounded. Phallosome (
Fig. 32D
): pseudoparameres narrowly separated, broad and short, much wider than long, rounded apically. Phallobase narrowing to pointed anterior end, anterior end with triangular plate.
Length
. B 2.2–2.3; FW 2.4–2.8; HW 1.8–2.1.
Female
. Colour and general morphology almost as in male. IO/D = 1.9.
Genitalia
: Egg guide of subgenital plate (
Fig. 33A
) widened near distal end, posterolateral corners rounded, apical margin rounded; body of subgenital plate with pair of broad median extensions anteriorly. Dorsal valve of gonapophyses (
Fig. 33B
) with long distal process; posterior lobe of external valve strongly projected posteriorly. Internal plate as in
Figure 33C
.
Length
. B 2.2–2.6; FW 2.9–3.0; HW 2.1–2.3.
