Cinara (Cupressobium) cupressi ( Buckton, 1881)

( Table 1 , Fig. 2 )

Material examined: 4 males (12.X.2012), 6 males (2.XI.2013) (R. Durak).

Description of adult male: alate. Head and thorax black, abdomen brown with small scleroites on the dorsal surface. Legs mid-brown with distal ends of femora, knees and tips of tibiae dark brown like viviparous female. Body elongate, mean length 2.38 mm. Siphunculi, cauda and genitalia dark brown. Antennae 6-segmented, 0.53– 0.57 of body length. Segm. III over twice as long as each of segm. IV, V and VI. Segm. V only slightly longer than segments IV and VI. Processus terminalis (VIb) not very long, ratio VIb/ VIa 0.21–0.27. Other antennal ratios: VI/ III 0.43–0.48; VI/IV 0.85–0.93; VI/V 0.81–0.9; V/III 0.48–0.59; V/IV 0.99–1.04; IV/III 0.47–0.57. Segm. V and VI bear primary rhinaria. Ant. segm. III with 24–29 secondary rhinaria, IV with 9–14, V with 3–4. Secondary rhinaria rounded, their size variable about 0.0067–0.0248 mm; mean 0.0115 mm. Rostrum long, reaching to abdominal segment VII. Length of apical rostral segments 0.71–0.8 times HT II and 0.41–0.47 times ant. segm. III. Siphunculus is a strongly brown pigmented cone with about 48–63 hairs around. Cauda short and rounded.

Chaetotaxy: Base of ant. segm. VI with 6 setae; VIb with 3 subapical setae. Rostrum with 2 accessory setae. Longest hair on ant. segm. III 0.0740–0.0795 mm; that on the hind tibia 0.1200–0.1500 mm.
