Leucophenga tricuspidata View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 F, 4I, 4J, 5N, 11)
Diagnosis. This species is somewhat similar to L. bicuspidata sp. nov. in having the mesonotum and scutellum entirely yellowish in male ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 E, 4I), and in the color patterns of abdominal tergites in male ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 E, N), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the aedeagus dorsolaterally with a thin process and distolaterally with three acute processes ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 D).
Description. Ocellar triangle brownish, with ca. 2 setae above ocellar setae. Frons yellow. Pedicel yellowish; first flagellomere yellow. Clypeus brownish yellow. Palpus brownish yellow. Postpronotal lobe yellowish ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 J). Acrostichal setulae in ca. 8 irregular rows ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 I). Pleura, katepisternum and meron yellowish ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 J). Wing ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 F): Costal vein between R2+3 and R4+5 distally with ca. 5 peg-like spinules on ventral surface. Only 4th to 6th abdominal tergites with black patches in male ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 N). Male terminalia: Epandrium with a few pubescence near posterior and ventral margin, with ca. 4 setae near posterior margin and ventral corner per side ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 A). Paramere nearly triangular, narrowed basally and apically, with ca. 3 sensilla distally ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 C).
