Pseudostegana husaensis
sp. nov.
(
Figures 4
(g–l) and 9)
Diagnosis
This species strongly resembles
P. latifasciata
Chen and Toda
in
Chen et al. (2005)
from
Yunnan
,
China
in the slender palpus (
Figure 4
(g)) and wing pattern (
Figure 4
(i)), but can be distinguished from it by the male terminalia (
Figure 9
); in this species, paramere apically slightly bifurcated; aedeagus expanded ventrad and dorsad on distal one-third in lateral view. The 10.1% interspecific genetic distance to
P. latifasciata
is the smallest within this group; there are four diagnostic sites between
P. husaensis
sp. nov.
and
P. latifasciata
(
Figure 2
).
Description
Male and female.
Head (
Figure 4
(g,j)): Ocellar triangle brown, slightly narrowly elongated to anterior margin of frons. Frons brown. Pedicel and first flagellomere yellow. Face yellow above, brown below. Palpus brown and slender in both sexes. Clypeus dark brown. Gena brown. Thorax (
Figure 4
(h,k)): Scutum anteriorly brownish yellow and with thin medial stripe, posteriorly brown. Pleura nearly dark brown.
Katepisternal setae two. Scutellum nearly brown, pale at tip. Legs: Yellow, dark brown on tibiae mid and hind legs. Abdomen (
Figure 4
(l)): All tergites nearly black. Sternites yellow on second to fourth, brown to black on the rest. Male terminalia (
Figure 9
): Epandrium slightly roundly protruding on ventral margin, with about 17 setae per side. Surstylus protruding on antero- and posteroventral corners. Cercus ventrally slightly protruding. Paramere subapically with one triangular process and two long sensilla, subdistally with numerous sensilla on dorsal projection. Basal process of aedeagus slender, with about six finger-like projections.
