Tuponia virentis sp. nov.
( Figs. 17–18 View FIGURES 13 – 20 , 66–69 View FIGURES 62 – 73 )
Diagnosis. Recognized by the small size; general coloration green or yellowish green; body surface moderately shining; dorsum with recumbent, dark sparse simple setae and sericeous setae. Similar to T. kiritshenkoi in general coloration, shape and small subapical serration on one apical spine of endosoma. However, the endosoma of T.
virentis is almost complete sclerotized, the secondary gonopore locates near the apex of endosoma and has no gonopore sclerite. Similar to T. chinensis and T. hippophaes in general coloration and body proportions, but both of them, the apical spines of endosoma have no small serrations.
Description. Male ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 13 – 20 ): Total length 2.40–2.48, ovoid.
Coloration: General coloration green or yellowish green; eyes reddish brown; antenna dark yellow, segment I with one or two black bristles; labium orange-yellow with black apex; pronotum shining, calli pale; exposed part of mesoscutum orange-red; scutellum green; hemelytron green or yellowish green, cuneus paled at base, membrane fumose and translucent, veins pale; legs yellow or yellowish green, femora without black spots, all tibiae not darkened at base, tibial spines dark without black bases, meta-tibia with several rows of black spinules, tarsus and claws darkened; abdomen yellowish brown with golden pubescence.
Surface and structure: Dorsum smooth, dull to weakly shining, and with dark simple setae and sericeous setae; head declining, clypeus not visible in dorsal view; frons and vertex slightly convex in lateral view; buccula with long yellow hairs; interocular distance wider than width of eye; eyes almost occupying entire height of head in lateral view; antennal segment II greatly longer than width of pronotum; labium slightly exceeding meta-coxa; pronotum trapeziform in dorsal view; hemelytron weakly deflexed at cuneal suture, membrane relatively developed and veins obvious; metathoracic scent-gland evaporative area as in Fig. 22 View FIGURES 21 – 23 .
Male genitalia ( Figs. 66–69 View FIGURES 62 – 73 ): Pygophore small relative to total size of abdomen; endosoma more or less Lshaped, with two apical spines, and one apical spine with small subapical serrations, secondary gonopore large without membrane and gonopore sclerite, situated near the apex of endosoma; left paramere boat-shaped; right paramere lanceolate; phallotheca slightly bending and attenuate apically with a keel.
Female ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 13 – 20 ): Total length 2.02–2.13. Smaller than male, more ovoid, general coloration similar to male.
Host plants. Unknown.
Distribution. China (Nei Mongol).
Etymology. Named for its general coloration, from the Latin “ virentis ”, meaning green.
