Treatment

Cardiodactylus tangkoko Gorochov , n. sp.

( Figs 4 View FIGURE 4 , 6L View FIGURE 6 , 56 View FIGURE 56 )

Type material. Male holotype: Indonesia. Sulawesi Utara Province, ~ 40 km NE of Manado City (Sulawesi I.), Tangkoko National Park on eastern coast of Minahassa Peninsula , environs of Tangkoko Lodge , disturbed primary forest near sea, on leaf of bush, at night, 3–6.II.2011, A. Gorochov ( ZIN). Paratypes (1♂, 2♀): same data as for holotype, 1♀ ( ZIN), 1♂, 1♀ (MNHN-EO-ENSIF3654) .

Type locality. Indonesia, ~ 40 km NE of Manado City (Sulawesi I.), Tangkoko National Park on eastern coast of Minahassa Peninsula, environs of Tangkoko Lodge .

Etymology. Named after the type locality.

Distribution. Indonesia, north of Sulawesi Island.

Diagnosis. The new species is most similar to C. borneoe but distinguished by general coloration and by higher proximal part of dorsal epiphallic ridges and deeper notch between proximal part of these ridges and more proximal part of epiphallus in profile.

Description. Male (holotype): Coloration of body light brown with following pattern: head with a pair of very small dark brown spots at anterolateral corners of clypeus, with brown most part of genae, and with dorsum having six narrow light brown stripes ( Fig. 6L View FIGURE 6 ); pronotum with several dark brown spots on disk partly fused with each other ( Fig. 56B View FIGURE 56 ) and dark brown most part of lateral lobes ( Fig. 56C View FIGURE 56 ); tegmina dark brown with yellowish white branches of Sc, narrow areas around proximal halves of these branches, two rather large spots (basal and lateral) on dorsal field, narrow transverse stripe at base of apical area, small parts of venation along lateral and medial edges of apical area, and venation of three other parts of dorsal field (as in Fig. 56D View FIGURE 56 ), as well as with whitish gray membranes in region of oblique veins and almost transparent membranes in region of chords; exposed part of hind wings almost dark grayish brown with distinct whitish gray venation; legs with rather numerous (but not very distinct) darkish dots, small spots and oblique stripes (these stripes situated only on hind femora), as well as with grayish brown apical part of hind femora, basal part of hind tibiae and areas on dorsal surface of these tibiae; abdomen with dark brown (almost blackish) visible part of tergites having rather numerous lighter spots. Structure of body more or less similar to that of C. borneoe but length of tegmina and of hind wings as in long-winged representatives of this species or slightly longer (but not somewhat shortened as in C. thailandia ), tegminal mirror 1.8 times as long as wide, comb of tegminal Sc with 7–10 branches ( Fig. 56E View FIGURE 56 ), and genitalia ( Fig. 56H–K View FIGURE 56 ) with somewhat higher proximal part of dorsal epiphallic ridges and deeper notch between proximal part of these ridges and more proximal part of epiphallus in profile.

Female: General appearance as in male, but tegmina with 10–11 longitudinal branches in dorsal field, 8–9 branches on Sc, and characteristic coloration of dorsal field: dark brown with yellowish white two rather large spots (basal and lateral), and venation in middle part of this field as well as along medial edge of this field and lateral edge of apical area ( Fig. 56F–G View FIGURE 56 ); ovipositor rather long (hind femur 1.2 times as long as ovipositor).

Juvenile: Unknown.

Variation. Male paratype with light median stripes on head dorsum almost indistinct, with disk almost completely dark brown but having light lateral margins and a few small and almost indistinct lightish marks on median part.

Measurements. Length in mm. Body: male 21–21.5, female 23–24; body with wings: male 24.5–25.5, female 29–30.5; pronotum: male 2.7–2.9, female 3.4–3.6; tegmina: male 19–19.5, female 17–18; hind femora: male 16–17, female 18.5–19.5; ovipositor 15.5–16.

Habitat and life history traits. C. tangkoko was found in disturbed primary forest near sea, on leaf of bush, at night.

Behavior. Unknown.
