Manota delyorum sp. n.

( Figs 18–21 )

Holotype: male, [North] KOREA, De Sang-san, 10 km NE Pyongyan , 1. VII. 1977 – No. 332 – netting in grasses [Olivér György] DELY &[Ágnes, Mrs Dely] DRASKOVITS. ( HNHM, abdomen with genitalia treated with NaOH and preserved in a plastic microvial with glycerol.)

Measurements in mm: body length 2.32, wing length 2.09, wing breadth 0.79.

Anterior parts of body and legs ochreous, anepisternum, more distal pleura and mesonotum light brown.

Flagellum ca. 1.12 m long (much curved). Face yellow, 0.187 mm broad at middle (head 0.385 mm broad), with numerous pale setae. Palpus ca. 0.45 mm long. Both the colour and reflexion of postocular setulae yellow.

Anepisternum with pale setulae, katepisternum pilose, laterotergite and mediotergite bare. Scutellum with a pair of very long setae and several short setae.

Wing light brownish. Costa distinct on 5/6 section to M 1. Vein Sc ends free, visible on a 0.06 mm long section. Costal section from H to R 1 0.61 mm, from R 1 to R 5 0.95 mm, extant sections of M 1 0.46 mm (to wing margin), M 2 1.17 mm long. Cu 2 distinct to the level of R 1 conjointment with costa. A 1 long, 0.67 mm, also with macrotrichia on dorsal surface.

Legs light brown. Fore coxa 0.825 mm long, 0.31 mm at broadest, all fore coxal setae yellow. Length of femur, tibia, first tarsomere and tibial spurs (in mm, measured on holotype): fore: 0.59, 0.45, 0.46, 0.31, mid: 0.78, 0.92, 0.66, 0.31, 0.30; hind: 0.85, 1.20, 0.55, 0.42, 0.36.

Abdomen light brown. Sternite 9 ( Fig. 19 ) hemispherical, shorter than broad, with medium-long but thick marginal setae. Tergite 9 ( Fig. 18 ) shield-shaped, broadly rounded caudally with long thick setae not only caudally but also on apical 1/3 of disc.

Gonocoxites narrowly separated ( Figs 20–21 ), much shorter medially than laterally ( Fig. 21 ). Gonostylus long, slightly bilobed, subbasally with a process with 2 extremely long setae ( Fig. 21 ). Ingonostylus with genitalia, ventral view. Scale: 0.1 mm for all ner genitalia medially with 3 pairs of sclerotized lamellae, medial pair (hypoproct) with a pair of extremely long thick setae ( Fig. 21 ).

Etymology: I name this new species after Dr Olivér György Dely (deceased) and Dr Ágnes Dely-Draskovits, the collectors of the holotype.

This is the third Palaearctic species of Manota (see ŠEVČÍK 2002). It is easily distinguishable from M. unifurcata LUNDSTRÖM, 1913 by body features alone: anepisternum is setulose, katepisternum is pilose, while in M. furcata not only the laterotergite but also the anepisternum and katepisternum are bare. Contrary to M. delyorum , tergum 9 is very short and slightly bilobed apically in M. furcata . Both the colour and reflection of postocular setae are yellow in the new species. Its genitalia are much different from those of M. chinensis : gonostylus is without the massive medial process and without long setae; and tergite 9 is much longer ( Fig. 18 , cf. fig. 1 of ŠEVČÍK 2002). There are a number of species with genitalia of similar structure in the Afrotropical region (e.g. M. styloides SØLI, 1993: 1 male (HNHM): Tanzania, Tanga region, Amani, 1–18 II. 1987, leg. Mahunka, Zicsi).
