Leptomorphus longipes View in CoL sp. n.

( Figs 31–37 View Figs 31–37 )

Type. Holotype male ( BMNH): BRUNEI, 13. 4. 1991 [no more data]

Measurements: wing length: 4.75 mm, head + thorax 1.5 mm, abdomen 4.25 mm.

Male terminalia. Sternite 8 ( Fig. 31 View Figs 31–37 ) narrowing proximally, positioning of the setae almost symmetrical, largely in one not well-arranged row; sternite 8 without a darker transverse thickening. Tergite 8 large, almost as long as wide, with numerous setae ( Fig. 32 View Figs 31–37 ). Tergo-gonocoxal complex rather high ( Fig. 33 View Figs 31–37 ), caudal lobes high but comparatively not long. Medial processes more separated from gonocoxites than in the related species, appear side-by-side in dorsal view ( Fig. 34 View Figs 31–37 ), the more medial one much longer and strongly narrowing apically in caudal view ( Figs 35 View Figs 31–37 ). Gonostyli rather thick ( Fig. 36 View Figs 31–37 ), both their processes directed medially. Aedeagus ( Fig. 37 View Figs 31–37 ) comparatively short, narrowing apically but apex not sharp, ejaculatory apodeme longer, with weakly sclerotised lateral (horizontal) lobes ( Fig. 37 View Figs 31–37 ).
