Pseudoteratura (Pseudoteratura) bella lambir Gorochov, 2014: 8 (holotype – ♀, Malaysia: Sarawak State ).

MATERIAL. Malaysia, Borneo I., Sarawak State, Lambir Hills National Park in environs of Miri Town , 100–300 m, primary forest, at light, 19–20.XI 2016, 1 ♂ ,

A. Gorochov, M. Berezin, E. Tkatsheva, I. Kamskov, N. Grigoreva; the same locality, on leaf of bush at night, 29.III–1.IV 2012, 1 ♀ (holotype), A. Gorochov, M .

Berezin, E. Tkatsheva, I. Kamskov.

DESCRIPTION. Male (novus). Coloration yellowish (greenish in living condition) with brown apex of upper rostral tubercle, orange dorsomedian band running from this apex to middle of pronotum, a pair of small light brown marks along posteromedian edge of pronotal disc having a pair of light orange stripes running forwards (from latter marks) and fused with each other into thin median line somewhat not reaching middle of pronotum, whitish area between latter marks and stripes,

small brownish grey to blackish spots on antenna (rather numerous in proximal part and somewhat sparser in middle part), brownish to greyish 2 very small areas near tympanum and stripes along dorsal surfaces of spines on fore and middle tibiae as well as distal halves of dorsal spinules on hind tibia, greyish brown marks on apical part of latter tibia and on subapical segment of all tarsi, light brown to orange stripe on each tegmen along its anal edge, and sparse dark brown small spots on distal half of lateral tegminal field and in apical part of hind wing. External structure of body typical of this subgenus, but last tergite with rather shallow angular posteromedian notch, epiproct not large and narrowed in middle part as well as directed downwards and with characteristically bifurcated distal part ( Figs 49, 52 ), paraprocts very small and rounded, cercus not long and with two characteristic distal lobes as well as small proximedial process with slightly inflated apical part ( Figs 49, 50 ), genital plate with moderately narrow apical part somewhat projected behind bases of styles and more or less truncated posteriorly ( Fig. 50 ). Genitalia: dorsal sclerite large,

plate-like, with wider base articulated with ventrolateral projections of subapical tergite, with a pair of flat posterior lobules, and with distinct notch between these lobules ( Figs 50, 51 ); ventral sclerite smaller than dorsal one, not flat, with a pair of short rounded tubercles at apex, with elongate concavity between and before these tubercles, and with elevated anteromedian edge ( Figs 85, 86 ).

Female. This female sufficiently described by Gorochov (2014: figs 25, 35, 41).

MEASUREMENTS. Length (in mm). Body: ♂ 8.7, ♀ 9–10; body with wings:

♂ 21, ♀ 21.5–22; pronotum: ♂ 3.6, ♀ 3.3–3.5; visible parts of tegmina: ♂ 15.5, ♀

16.5–17; hind femora: ♂ 9.8, ♀ 10–10.5; ovipositor 8.3–8.6.

REMARK. This species was described as a subspecies of P. (P.) bella Gorochov, 2008 (Sabah State of Malaysia), but the new material shows that it is more similar to P. (P.) kenuan Tan , Gorochov et Wahab, 2017 ( Brunei) and differs from them in the following characters: from P. bella , in male epiproct bifurcated, and male cercal lobes shorter; from P. kenuan , in dorsal sclerite of male genitalia with a deeper notch between its posterior lobules.
