Pseudophlugiolopsis bitubera View in CoL sp. nov.
( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 )
Description. Male. Body small. Fastigium verticis conical, apex obtusely rounded, with a longitudinal sulcus on dorsal surface. Eyes oval, protruding outwards. Apical segment of maxillary palpus slightly longer than subapical sgmet, apex swollen, truncate.
Pronotum slightly elongate, reaching posterior margin of second abdominal tergite; anterior margin straight while posterior margin arc-shaped ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ); lateral lobe distinctly longer than deep, posterior margin oblique; humeral sinus absent ( Fig. 1B View FIGURE 1 ).
Tegmina reduced, reaching middle part of third abdominal tergite, obtusely rounded ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ); hind wings absent.
All femora unarmed ventrally, genicular lobes with apices obtuse. Fore coxa with 1 short spine; fore tibia with 5 inner and 6 outer spines on ventral surface, tibial tympana open on both sides, ovoid. Middle tibia with 5–6 spines respectively on both sides of ventral surface. Hind tibia with 1–3 inner and 5 outer spines on ventral surface as well as 26–37 spines respectively on both sides of dorsal surface, bearing 2 pairs of ventral apical spurs and 1 pair of dorsal apical spurs.
Lateral margins of ninth abdominal tergite slightly expended posteriorly ( Fig. 1C View FIGURE 1 ), middle area of posterior margin somewhat protruding backwards ( Fig. 1D View FIGURE 1 ). Tenth abdominal tergite prolonged posteriorly, posterior margin with a pair of long processes which feebly compressed, pointing backwards and dorsad, terminals rounded ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 C–D). Ventro-inner margin of cercus with a small triangular process at base, terminal subacute; near basal area with a hill-shaped process on ventro-inner margin, of which terminal blunt ( Fig. 1G View FIGURE 1 ); apical half of cercus spiniform, slightly compressed, strongly bent inwards and dorsad, apex obtusely rounded ( Fig. 1F View FIGURE 1 ). Subgenital plate trapezoidal, basal area broad ( Fig. 1E View FIGURE 1 ); middle area of posterior margin protruding backwards, rather strikingly bent ventrally, posterior margin slightly concave, lateral angles acute ( Fig. 1H View FIGURE 1 ), with slender styli on lateral margins of the subapex.
Female. Pronotum slightly shorter than male, reaching posterior margin of first abdominal tergite, anterior margin straight, posterior margin arcuate. Tegmina reaching middle area of second abdominal tergite, apices rounded. Lateral margins of eighth abdominal tergite strongly expanded posteriorly, reaching near middle area of subgenital plate; lateral margins of ninth abdominal tergite protruding backwards, reaching near apical area of subgenital plate ( Fig. 1L View FIGURE 1 ). Tenth abdominal tergite short, posterior margin with a depression in the middle. Cercus slightly short, conical, apex faintly subacute. Subgenital plate nearly trapezoidal, basal area arc-shaped protruding forwards, middle area of posterior margin protruding backwards, of which terminal rounded ( Fig. 1K View FIGURE 1 ). Ovipositor stout, robust at base, apical half mildly bent dorsad, dorsal valvulae with apices hook-like ( Fig. 1I View FIGURE 1 ), and longer than ventral ones, dorsal and ventral margins smooth.
Coloration. Body yellowish brown. Eyes black brown. Internal margin of antennal socket black brown, scape and pedicel brown. Fastigium verticis black brown; occiput with two pairs of longitudinal brown stripes ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ). Disc of pronotum with 1 longitudinal light brown stripe, of which slightly wider at metazona; the lateral margins black brown which not reaching posterior margin of pronotum ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ). Dorsal surface of abdomen brown, except fifth to seventh abdominal tergites; ventral surface of abdomen with 1 longitudinal brown stripe; lateral margins of abdomen blackish brown, of which only reaching sixth abdominal tergite in female.
Measurements (mm). Body: ♂ 9.3–11.2, ♀ 10.1–10.8; pronotum: ♂ 4.3–4.9, ♀ 4.1–4.6; hind femora: ♂ 7.2–8.3, ♀ 7.5–8.4; ovipositor: 6.0–6.6.
Material examined. Holotype: ♂, Xinjie, Yuanyang, Yunnan, 1 October, 2009, coll. Benyong Mao. Paratypes: 2♀, Xinjie, Yuanyang, Yunnan, 1 October, 2009, coll. Benyong Mao. Other specimens: 1♂ 3♀, Xinjie, Yuanyang, Yunnan, 1 October, 2009, coll. Benyong Mao.
Distribution. China (Yunnan).
Etymology. The name of the new species is derived from ventro-inner margins of male cerci with two processes. Latin “ bi -” means two, and Latin “ tuber -” means process.
