4. Kapsa (Rigida) brevis Cao & Zhang View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1. a – d i–l, 8)
Description. Body ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1. a – d i, j) sordid yellow. Coronal suture ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1. a – d k) short, not reaching midlength of vertex. Face ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1. a – d l) long.
Abdominal apodemes broad but short, extended to the hind margin of the 3rd sternite. Anal tube appendage ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 a–c) tapering apically, apex curved laterally from hind view.
Pygofer dorsal appendage ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 a–c) falcate, basal 2/3 slim, pointed apically and curved ventrad. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 a, e) with 4 lateral macrosetae, peglike microsetae of basal group comparatively longer. Paramere ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 f) with apical part relatively short, preapical lobe small. Connective ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 g) with lateral arms short, manubrium long. Aedeagus shaft ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 h, i) tubular, denticulate on distal half, dorsal apodeme large, basal process small; gonopore terminal, ventral.
Measurement. Body length: males 3.2mm.
Material examined. Holotype: 3, China: Tibet, Yigong, 2300m, 1–12 vi 1978, coll. Li Fasheng. Paratypes: 23, China: Tibet, Milin, 2950m, 5 vi 1978, coll. Li Fasheng.
Remarks. This species resembles K. alba , but has the paramere apex much shorter, the connective arms shorter and the manubrium longer, and the aedeagus with a basal process.
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin word “ brevis ”, referring to the short arms of the connective.
