Diagnosis
Forewing membrane mostly hyaline with irregular transverse brown band near base and distinct nodules along veins ( Fig. 5B, D View Fig ). Aedeagal shaft abruptly narrowed at distal third in lateral view with small preapical hump ( Fig. 6F View Fig ). Lateral plate apex blunt ( Fig. 6D View Fig ).
Etymology
The species name ‘ nodulus ’ is derived from the Latin word ‘ nodus ’ (knot), referring to the nodules along the forewing veins.
Material examined
Holotype CHINA • ♂; Guizhou Province, Dafang Country ; 27°19′ N, 105°61′ E; Mar. 2019; Xiu-dong Huang leg.; collected with yellow pan traps; IEGU.
Description
MEASUREMENTS. Male (n = 1) body length: 4.9 mm, forewing length: 4.1 mm, width between humeral angle apices: 1.9 mm, width between suprahumeral horn apices: 1.6 mm.
COLORATION. Orange-brown marked with golden yellow except the head, ocelli, callosity, apical of humeral angle and posterior pronotal process, inner of legs black, surfaces of legs rusty red. Forewing and veins pale yellow with the following parts brown: nodulations, apical, anal angle, apical and onethird of apical, crescent-shaped stripe near basal fourth forewing.
HEAD AND THORAX. Vertex nearly rectangular with dorsal and ventral margins slightly arcuate and oblique respectively, ocelli oblong, eyes oval, ocelli slightly closer to inner margin of eyes than to each other; frontoclypeus length more than half of vertex ventral margins, apical expanded slightly, frontoclypeal lobes distinct, length more than half of frontoclypeus, extended slightly across vertex ventral margins ( Fig. 5C–D View Fig ). Pronotum with big punctures on near middle carina, and small punctures evenly distributed. Callosity nearly oval, with small amounts of setae and puncture. Suprahumeral horn short and not exceeding humeral angle, nearly flat. Posterior pronotal process ending at Cu 1, with triangular bulge on center and apex. Forewing with more than 15 nodules on veins evenly distributed. Basal one-fifth of forewing punctate with opaque sclerotization, veins M and Cu fused for nearly half length and divergent, veins M+Cu and R fused basally ( Fig. 5D View Fig ). Metathoracic tibia with three longitudinal rows of cucullate setae.
MALE GENITALIA. Pygofer with dorsal margin concave slightly on the central in lateral view, sternite IX slightly curved, longer than wide in lateral view ( Fig. 6A, C View Fig ). Lateral plate apex blunt, depressed slightly on the central, with long setae on margin ( Fig. 6D View Fig ). Subgenital plates fused for more than half length ( Fig. 6B View Fig ). Style clasp angled dorsally; distally recurved, dorsal surface with setae; connective N-shaped ( Fig. 6G View Fig ). Aedeagus in lateral view nearly hook-shaped, abruptly narrowed at distal third and with slight preapical hump, narrow in anterior view, more than half of anterior surface and margin densely clothed with coarse denticulation ( Fig. 6E–F View Fig ).
Distribution
China (Guizhou) ( Fig. 7 View Fig ).
Remarks
This species is similar to M. subinermis Lindberg, 1927 , but differs from the latter in: 1) frontoclypeal lobes more than half as long as frontoclypeus (subequal in M. subinermis ); 2) apex of frontoclypeus transverse (arcuate in M. subinermis ); 3) posterior pronotal process arched (flat in M. subinermis ).
