Diagnosis.
The male of
Chimarra huonana
can be separated from other New
Guinea
species, by the unique shape of the inferior appendages, which are very narrow basally, short, robust and irregular shaped.
Description.
General body colour and wings brownish. Wings similar to those of
C. ukarumpana
(fig. 7). Length of forewing: male 5.3 mm. Forewing with forks 1, 2, 3 and 5 present, Rs slightly sinuous or curved, slightly thickened, basad (fig. 135).
Male.
Segment IX anterior margin in lateral view, anteroventrally angular (fig. 134), ventral process on segment IX strongly basal to distal margin of segment IX (figs 134, 135), in lateral view, weakly keel-like, length about 0.25 times basal width. Preanal appendages, laterally compressed (figs 134, 136), in lateral view rounded (fig. 134), in dorsal view appear bifid, apices narrowly rounded (fig. 136). Segment X lateral lobes laterad of phallus, plate-like, laterally compressed, with sensilla not discerned (figs 134, 136), in lateral view robust, aligned level with and below phallus, apices appear acute and bifid (fig. 134). Phallus with two slender spines included subapically and near midlength (figs 134–136). Inferior appendages narrowed basally, robust in distal two thirds, directed dorsolaterally (figs 134, 135), in lateral view angled at about 80° to horizontal, length about 2.2 times width with irregular margins, dorsal margin sinusoidal, ventral margin with acute angular projections present near midlength (fig. 134), in ventral view lateral margins strongly curved, mesal margins somewhat irregular (fig. 135).
Female
. Unknown.
Etymology. Huonana
– named for the
type
locality (Huon Peninsula).
