Micronecta guttatostriata Lundblad, 1933b: 101–102 , pl. I (type locality: Java, Indonesia).

Micronecta guttatostriata – Wróblewski 1967: 240, 242–243, figs 11–16 (redescription, assigned to subgenus Lundbladella ); 1968: 775 (checklist). — Nieser 2000: 287, fig. 39 (key); 2002b: 266, fig. 7 (notes, key). — Polhemus 2017: 127 (record Cambodia).

Diagnosis

Body length 2.0–2.4. Dorsum generally dark brown. Pronotum slightly longer than median head length, with two transverse yellow stripes on anterior part. Hemelytron ( Fig. 5B View Fig ) with yellowish brown background and longitudinal yellowish stripes usually fragmented into small dots; embolium with three translucent patches.

Males: fore femur with a pair of spines on proximal third ventrally; fore tibia without spine ( Fig. 6E View Fig ); palar claw, median lobe of sternite VII and free lobe ( Fig. 6F View Fig ) as in diagnosis for subgenus. Left paramere: shaft slender, basally straight and curved at distal fourth; basal lobe broad, trapezoid ( Fig. 6H View Fig ). Right paramere: shaft broadly curved, distal half strongly broadened ( Fig. 6G View Fig ).

Distribution

Vietnam: Ninh Binh (Cuc Phuong) ( Wróblewski 1967); first records for Cao Bang, Phu Tho, Hanoi, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Dong Nai. Other countries: southwestern China, Thailand, Indonesia, Peninsular Malaysia, Cambodia ( Lundblad 1933b; Nieser 2000, 2002b; Nieser et al. 2005; Polhemus 2017).

Remarks

In Vietnam, M. guttatostriata is one of two species without a strigil; the other one is M. grisea . Micronecta guttatostriata can be separated from the latter by its distinctly smaller size, with body length of around 2.0– 2.4 mm, and the unique colour pattern of the pronotum. In addition, the shape of the free lobe and the parameres are reliable characteristics for identifying this species.
