Metanoeus pendleburyi
Kleine, 1932
Differential diagnosis
.
M. pendleburyi
resembles
Cautires yausai
and they share several unique characters: small widely separated thoracic and abdominal terga, long processes behind pleurites T1–T3 and A1–A8, and branched movable urogomphi (figures 89–92). They differ only in the shape of individual sclerites and the length of processes.
C. yausai
has tergal and pleural abdominal process of comparable length,
M. pendleburyi
has pleural processes twice as long as the tergal ones.
Measurements
. BL 11.0 mm.
Pupa
. Exarata, slender, pronotum with numerous, stick-like processes, their length half to two-thirds of pronotal length at midline, two processes at frontal margin, three at lateral margins (anterior angle, posterior angle and middle of lateral margin), two much shorter processes at middle of posterior margin. Abdomen with similar processes, their length 50 per cent of abdomen width, very apex of projections widened, knob-like. Urogomphi Y-shaped, slender. Small setae bearing drop of liquid on many parts of body, no long setae present.
