Singapora longiantrosa
Yang & Zhang
sp. nov.
a. pygofer side and anal tube, lateral view; b. anal tube appendage with its setting, c. subgenital plate, style, connective and the 9th sternite, dorsal view; d. subgenital plate; e. style, dorsal view; f. apex of style, lateral view; g. connective; h. aedeagus, ventral view; i. apex of aedeagal shaft, caudal view; j. aedeagus, lateral view; k. abdominal apodemes.
Male 2S abdominal apodemes (Fig. 9k) relatively narrow, exceeding anterior margin of 4th sternite. Anal tube appendage (Fig. 9b) short, apex broad and slightly curved ventrad, weekly sclerotized.
Pygofer side (Fig. 9a) short, hind margin truncate, without microsetae at dorso-caudal angle. Subgenital plate (Fig. 9d) with row of microsetae along dorsal outer margin from near base to apex which sparse distally, with about 5 macrosetae medially. Style (Figs 9e, f) with inner protrusion shifted basad, apex curved laterad sharply. Connective (Fig.
9g
) with manubirum long and narrow. Aedeagal shaft (Fig. 9h–j) short and broad, without process, apex expanded with dorsal margin straight in caudal view; preatrial process depressed, curved dorsad basally and recurved ventrad apically, apex twisted.

Remarks.
The new species is similar to
S. victoreena
Chiang & Knight, but the style has its inner protrusion shifted basad, the manubrium of the connective is longer and narrower, and the aedeagal preatrial process is narrower basally and curved ventrad in lateral view.
Etymology.
The specific name is derived from the Latin prefix “
longi-
” and Latin word “
antros
”, referring to the preatrium process slender with apex on the same horizontal line with apex of aedeagal shaft in lateral view.
