Hiatusorus robustus View in CoL , sp. nov.

( Plate 3C View PLATE 3 , Fig. 155-161 View Figures 155-161 )

Description. Length. Male 7.60 mm., female unknown.

External morphology. Moderately large, slender species. General color light brown to black; forewings membranous except for suffused light brown markings apical 1/6, veins black; mesonotum black with small yellow contiguous spots; pronotum black, bullae dark yellow; crown light brown; eyes transparent; face yellow; clypeus with orange, longitudinal stripes on inner lateral margins; clypellus tinged with orange; head narrower than pronotum, anterior margin obtusely rounded; crown short, broad, slightly wider than width of eyes, lateral margins convergent basally; eyes large, semiglobular; clypeus long, narrow, lateral margins broadly convex; clypellus very narrow, slightly tumid longitudinally in middle.

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view very large with long robust caudodorsal process, sparsely setose on ventral margin of process ( Fig. 155 View Figures 155-161 ); aedeagus moderately long, narrow, tubular, incurved in distal 4/5, row of teeth in apical 5th ( Fig. 156, 157 View Figures 155-161 ); style small with short, narrow apophysis, base very broad ( Fig. 158, 159 View Figures 155-161 ); dorsal connective moderately long, very narrow, curved medially in lateral view ( Fig. 156, 157 View Figures 155-161 ); connective small, anterior arms narrow, obliquely truncate apically, medial ridge complete, stem very small, ovate ( Fig. 160 View Figures 155-161 ); subgenital plate long, broad, setose apically ( Fig. 161 View Figures 155-161 ).

Material examined. Holotype male. CHINA: Yunnan, Jinhong , 5.III.1999, river bed, Grootaert, leg. ( IRSNB).

Etymology. The name of the species is descriptive for the large robust caudodorsal process on the pygofer.

Remarks. The combination of the large caudodorsal pygofer process, small connective with narrow, oblique truncate arms, absence of subgenital apical spine will distinguish the species.
