Treatment

Sounama (Stenaulophrys) robustipenis View in CoL sp. nov.

(®gures 91, 92, 107)

Length: 4.8±5.2 mm.

External characters as in S. (Sounama) acuta but medial longitudinal carina on vertex very faint.

Male genitalia similar to asiatica but with subgenital plate (®gure 92) with basal expanded region more elongate, with a very short apical spine-like process, directed posterodorsally and aedeagal shaft (®gure 91) in lateral aspect slightly more robust with the distal part sinuate and tapered to slightly upturned acute apex.

Etymology. This species is named after its robust aedeagal shaft.

Material examined. HOLOTYPE: Laos: Vientiane Prov., Ban Van Eue , 15 December 1965 (native collector, Rondon) ( BPBM) . PARATYPE: China, 1, Yunnan, Cheli to Menghai , 1050 m, 23 April 1957 (S.-Y. Wang) ( IZCAS) .

Distribution. Southwestern China (Yunnan) and Laos (Vientiane).

Remarks. The apex of the holotype aedeagus is missing and the genitalia of the ®gured paratype were lost subsequent to being drawn.
