MATERIAL. Holotype – ♂, Vietnam: Binh Phuoc Prov., 13 km NE of Bu Gia Map

Vill., Bu Gia Map National Park , 12º11ʹ37ʹʹ N, 107º12ʹ21ʹʹ E, 540 m, 18–31.V 2011 , L.

Anisyutkin, A. Anichkin (Expedition of Russia-Vietnam Tropical Centre) ( ZIN). Paratypes:

same data as for holotype, 1 ♂, 3 ♀ ( ZIN); same province, park, dates and collectors, but

12º12ʹ20ʹʹ N, 107º12ʹ15ʹʹ E, 350 m, 1 ♀ ( ZIN) .

DESCRIPTION. Male (holotype). Body similar to that of A. (A.) archaica but with slightly shorter head which almost as in previous congeners described here (Fig. 61). Coloration light brown with dark brown ventral part of rostral tubercle, most part of antennal cavities, area between them, medial parts of both scape and pedicel as well as spot on middle part of fore tibia, brown areas on mandibles, spots on proximal part of fore tibia and on distal parts of fore and middle tibiae, a pair of small spots on posterior part of pronotal disc and some membranes in laterodistal parts of tegmina, yellowish lower half of clypeus as well as other mouthparts (except for labrum and mandibles; Fig. 61) and venter of rest part of body, and numerous whitish dots on abdominal tergites. Pronotum also similar to that of A. (A.)

archaica but with slightly more sinuate ventral edges of lateral lobes and with hind lobe covering larger parts of tegmina (this lobe reaching base of mirror); tegmina clearly smaller,

reaching only posterior part of metanotum, with much smaller mirror as well as shorter and widely rounded distal parts; last tergite with more elongate posterodorsal lobe having slightly deeper posteromedian notch and rounded projections around it; cercus with medial (dorsal)

spine located slightly more proximally than in A. (A.) archaica , and with distal (ventral)

spine directed more strongly downwards than in this species (compare Figs 98, 99 and 102,

103); epiproct also triangular but with almost spine-like apex and a pair of basal inflations having short tubercle on each of them ( Fig. 104 ); paraprocts small and simple, without distinct apical lobules; genital plate distinguished from that of this species only by somewhat more sinuous edges of posteromedian notch ( Fig. 101 ); genital sclerites much larger than in

A. (A.) archaica , almost partly fused with each other, with their ventroproximal lobules distinctly curved laterally, and with apices more or less rounded and lacking denticles (Figs

145, 146, 166).

Variations. Second male with a pair of additional brown marks on pronotal disc near its anterior edge and almost without darkened marks on distal parts of tibiae.

Female. General appearance as in males, but head sometimes with additional darkish median stripe on dorsum, much shorter (lateral and scale-like) or invisible tegmina, last tergite practically without posterodorsal lobe but with very small posteromedian notch, cerci smaller and elongately fusiform as well as with very thin apical parts, epiproct and paraprocts small and rounded (unspecialized); genital plate distinctly narrowing to slightly notched apex and with roundly concave lateral (posterolateral) edges ( Fig. 105 ); ovipositor as in Fig. 178.

6.5–7.4; hind pronotal lobe: ♂ 1–1.1, ♀ 0.7–0.9; visible parts of tegmina: ♂ 1.4–1.8, ♀ 0–

0.5; hind femora: ♂ 13–14, ♀ 14–16; ovipositor 14.2–15.3.

COMPARISON. The new species is most similar to A. (A.) archaica , but its head lacks median dark band in lower two thirds of epicranium, male tegmina are partly covered with pronotum (vs. almost completely not covered with pronotum), medial spine of male cercus is located slightly more proximally, distal spine of this cercus is directed more downwards,

male epiproct is more specialized (for comparison see Figs 100 and 104 ), and male genital sclerites are much larger and almost partly fused with each other as well as having their ventroproximal lobules curved laterally. From all the other congeners of Anelytra s. str., A.

(A.) anisyutkini differs in the light coloration of anterior surface of epicranium (except for its small upper part) as well as rather primitive structure of cerci and genital plate in male.

ETYMOLOGY. The species is named after one of its collector, entomologist L.N.

Anisyutkin.
