8. Kapsa (Rigida) megaprocessa Cao & Zhang View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2. a – d i–l, 12)
Description. Body ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2. a – d i, j) light yellowish. Coronal suture ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2. a – d k) only visible in basal half of vertex. Face ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2. a – d l) long.
Abdominal apodemes ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 a) broad, not exceeding the hind margin of the 3rd sternite. Anal tube appendage ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 b–d) broad, apical hook short.
Pygofer dorsal appendage ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 b–d) tapering towards apex and curved ventrad. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 b, f) with 4 macrosetae, central area of lateral margin without microsetae. Paramere ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 g) with apical tooth slender and long, slightly curved dorsad. Connective ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 h) with lateral arms and manubrium long. Aedeagal shaft ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 i, j) slim, denticulate dorsoapically, ventral process broadened in side view; dorsal apodeme well developed, preatrium large, slightly shorter than aedeagal shaft; gonopore apical, ventral.
Measurement. Body length: males 3.1–3.2mm.
Material examined. Holotype: 3, China: Tibet, Bomi, Jieda, 3050m, 16 vii 1978, coll. Li Fasheng. Paratypes: 13, same data as holotype; 23, China: Tibet, Linzhi, 3050m, 7 vi 1978, coll. Li Fasheng.
Remarks. The male pygofer resembles that of K. simlensis Dworakowska, Nagaich & Singh , but the connective is narrower and longer, the aedeagal shaft is thinner and the ventral process is broadened in side view.
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin prefix “mega-” Latin word “processus”, referring to the large ventral process of the aedeagus.
