Leptusa (Adoxopisalia) stocksi Park & Carlton View in CoL , new species
( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 d. 5a – i, Map 1)
Holotype. U.S.A.: Tennessee: Sevier co.: ɗ, “TENNESSEE: Sevier Co., GSMNP, Clingmans Dome ATBI Plot. Malaise trap MT 16200110816. 31 Jul–16 Aug 2001. I.C.Stocks”, “ HOLOTYPE, Leptusa stocksi Park and Carlton , des. 2010”. Deposited in the Field Museum, Chicago. Paratypes (n=2). U.S.A., Tennessee: 2ɗɗ with same data as holotype GSMNP and LSAM (slide mounted specimen missing genitalia).
Diagnosis. Leptusa (Adoxopisalia) stocksi has similar appearance with L. (A.) opaca , but it can be distinguished by shorter antennomeres 4 – 7 ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 a), shape of median lobe ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 i), male abdominal tergites VII – VIII without single median elongate tubercle ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 f), and short δ-seta (as long as α-, β-seta) of labial palpi ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 d).
Description of male. Length 3.0 – 3.3 mm. Body brown; antennomeres 1 – 3, 11, mouthparts, legs, and abdominal tergites II – V yellowish brown ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 c). Head opaque, pubescent, with microsculpture. Antennomeres 1 – 3 elongate, 4 longer than wide, 5 – 6 subquadrate, 7 – 10 transverse ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 a). Carina on each side of ventral surface of head complete, attaining gular suture.
Mouthparts. Labrum transverse, bearing 3 pairs of short setae, and 7 pairs of long setae, a-seta, b-seta, and many pores ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 b). Labium with two distal setae in a longitudinal row, and several pores in median area; a pair of setal pores, 2 pairs of real pores and several pseudopores present in lateral area ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 c). Labial palpi bearing 12 setae (a – h, α – δ) ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 d). Mentum trapezoidal, bearing 4 pairs of main setae (b, u, v, w), a pair of additional setae, and many pores ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 e).
Thorax. Pronotum wider than head, and approximately 1.44 times wider than long; pubescent, opaque, with microsculpture. Mesoventrite with distinct reticulate microsculpture. Metaventrite with setigerous punctures. Elytra opaque, wider than pronotum and abdomen, approximately 1.58 times longer than wide, approximately 1.56 times longer than pronotum, and latero-posterior margin emarginate. Hind wings present.
Abdomen. Abdomen somewhat glossy. Abdominal tergite VI approximately 1.99 wider than long. Male abdominal tergite VIII with posterior margin emarginate, bearing 4 pairs of main setae, and many additional short setae and pores ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 f). Male abdominal sternite VIII with posterior margin produced, bearing 6 pairs of main setae, and many additional short setae and pores ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 g).
Genitalia. Paramere as in Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 h. Median lobe as in Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 i.
Female. Unknown.
Distribution. USA: Tennessee. Locations where L. (A.) stocksi has been collected in GSMNP as in Map 1.
Etymology. This species is named in honor of Ian Stocks (Clemson University, Clemson, SC), collector of the type series.
Habitat. This species is only known from Clingmans Dome, the highest point in GSMNP. All specimens were collected using a malaise trap during August.
