Diagnosis

This species can be distinguished from others by the following characters: 1) color darker than Anaplecta omei , Anaplecta corneola Deng & Che sp. nov. and Anaplecta arcuata Deng & Che sp. nov.; 2) pronotum without special markings, which is different from Anaplecta basalis , Anaplecta bicolor Deng & Che sp. nov. and Anaplecta strigata Deng & Che sp. nov.; 3) left phallomere with concave or spiny bone sheet at the bottom (L2d), unlike other species.

Etymology

The specific name is derived from the Latin word ‘ staminiformis ’ and refers to L2vm being stamenshaped.

Description

Male

MEASUREMENTS (mm). Male: pronotum length ×width: 1.5–1.7× 2.0–2.2, tegmina length: 5.9–6.2, overall length: 7.5–7.9. Female: pronotum length ×width: 1.8–1.9 ×2.0–2.2, tegmina length: 6.2–6.4, overall length: 7.1–7.6.

COLORATION. Body dark yellowish brown, eyes black, antennae dark brown ( Fig. 3 A–B). Vertex with frons nearly reddish brown, the other part dark yellowish brown ( Fig. 3C ). Pronotum dark brown, lateral borders of pronotum nearly hyaline ( Fig. 3D ). Tegmina dark yellowish brown, lateral margins of tegmina nearly hyaline ( Fig. 3G ). Wings with costal field and appendicular field infuscated, other part brown, with veins dark brown ( Fig. 3H ). Abdominal sterna, legs and cerci dark yellowish brown ( Fig. 3B ).

HEAD AND THORAX. Interocular space greater than distance between antennal sockets ( Fig. 3C ). Third and fourth maxillary palpi nearly equal in length, longer than fifth maxillary palpus; fifth maxillary palpus strongly thicker than fourth, which is nearly triangular ( Fig. 3E ). Pronotum subelliptical ( Fig. 3D ). Tegmina with veins basically distinct; wings with radial veins slightly indistinct, CuP and CuA merging into one venation ( Fig. 3 G–H). Front femur type B2 ( Fig. 3F ). Pulvilli absent, arolia present.

MALE ABDOMEN AND GENITALIA. Supra-anal plate with paraprocts almost identical, simply thickened sheetlike ( Fig. 3I ). Subgenital plate symmetrical, semi-oval; styli longer, finger-like, with length less than ½ of interstylar space, interstylar margin practically straight ( Fig. 3J ). Phallomere complex, L1 small, oval with slender and curved filamentary structure, L2v broad, L2vm stamen-shaped at the back, L2d like concave shaped bone sheet at bottom (L2d of some individuals spiny rather than concave in shape), L3 robust and uncinate part with apex enlarged and blunt; R1 cylinder-shaped with spine at end; R2 irregular bone-like sheet, weakly sclerotized, R3 short simple sheet-like ( Fig. 3 K–P).
