Chlorionidea bromi Emeljanov View in CoL
Redescription
Very similar to C. flava in shape, proportions, size, colour and markings. Head shape similar to that of C. sibillinica (see below). The differences from that species comprise mainly characters of male and female genitalia. In the material examined only brachypterous specimens were present.
Male genitalia ( Figure 2B View Figure 2 ). Pygofer ( Figure 4C,G View Figure 4 ) smaller than in C. flava . In lateral view with upper part of hind margin slightly oblique in anterior direction, forming in this way a distinctly protruding angle above inferior third of hind margin; in posterior view without sclerotized thickening on ventral margin of aedeagus opening, but with distinct, in its ventral part more elevated, median carina between the two foramina; styles opening small, its width at most a third of width of pygofer. Anal tube ( Figure 5C,H View Figure 5 ) normally simple [only in one of two males from Crimea ( Figure 5D,I View Figure 5 ), however, with pair of short, straight, ventrally directed spines], its ventrocaudal margin profoundly excavated. Styles ( Figure 6D View Figure 6 ) slender, without darker or scabrous inner basal margin, apical part narrow, not broadened at tip. Suspensorium shorter and more robust than in C. flava , its caudal margin prolonged in short lamella with concave margin. Aedeagus ( Figure 8E–G View Figure 8 ) relatively short, curved in dorsal direction, dorsoventrally depressed, dorsally concave, on its left margin with row of dorsally directed teeth along apical half of aedeagus, on its right margin another group of teeth in two rows in subapical position, phallotreme in ventral position.
Remarks
Anti-symmetry in the aedeagus is observed: Some specimens have the subapical group of teeth on left side.
Female genitalia. Without sclerotized genital scale. Gonocoxae VIII ( Figure 9D View Figure 9 ) distinctly excavated on their basal inner margin, caudally broadened.
Measurements
Males (brachypterous). Total length: 3.3–3.4 mm; width at level of wings: 1.2– 1.26 mm; width of head including eyes: 0.74–0.81 mm; length of vertex: 0.34–0.42 mm; width of vertex at base: 0.28–0.33 mm; length of pronotum: 0.22–0.25 mm; length of mesonotum from hind margin of pronotum to tip of scutellum: 0.47–0.54 mm; length of forewing: 1.28–1.5 mm; width of forewing: 0.77–0.82 mm; length of hind tibia: 0.85–0.9 mm; length of aedeagus: 0.45–0.48 mm.
Females (brachypterous). Total length: 3.8 mm; width at level of the wings: 1.32– 1.4 mm; width of head including eyes: 0.81–0.83 mm; length of vertex: 0.38–0.43 mm; width of vertex at base: 0.33–0.36 mm; length of pronotum: 0.24–0.25 mm; length of mesonotum from hind margin of pronotum to tip of scutellum: 0.52–0.55 mm; length of forewing: 1.4–1.58 mm; width of forewing: 0.8–0.9 mm; length of hind tibia: 0.93–0.95 mm.
Material examined
Mongolia. Mongolia, 20 km west of somon Bayan-Ula , Dzabkhansky Aimak, 2 July 1968, Emeljanov, 2 males, 2 females ( ZIN) .
Ukraine. Crimea, Chatyrdag, top plateau, 16 July 1967, Logvinenko , 2 males, 1 female ( ZIN) .
Kazakhstan. Kasakhstan , Koksengir Mountains Zhana Arka , 8 July 1959, Emeljanov, Paratype C. bromi Emeljanov 1964 , 1 male ( ZIN) .
Russia. South Russia, Krasnodar region, Caucasus Reserve, slps. Alous mountains, 29 June 1964, Logvinenko , 5 males ( CIZ) .
Remarks
The specimen figured in Logvinenko (1975) as C. flava is doubtless C. bromi .
