Olidiana implicata , sp. nov.

( Plate 4G , Fig. 238-244 )

Description. Length. Male 10.00-10.20mm., female unknown.

External morphology. Large, robust species. General color black with numerous small ivory to yellow spots on forewings; crown light brown; eyes dark brown; face light brownish yellow with light,

brownish orange longitudinal stripe on inner lateral margins of clypeus; clypellus light brown; head distinctly narrower than pronotum, anterior margin obtusely rounded; crown narrower than width of eyes, produced slightly beyond anterior margin of eyes, lateral margins convergent basally; eyes large, elongate ovoid; pronotum large, nearly twice as long medially than crown, surface bullated; mesonotum very large, nearly half longer than pronotum; forewings typical; clypeus long, moderately narrow, lateral margins broadly convex; clypellus short, about 1/3 as long as clypeus, very narrow, slightly inflated longitudinally in middle, apex flared laterally.

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view narrowly triangular, sparsely setose apically ( Fig. 238 ); aedeagus with shaft long, tubular, sinuate, apex recurved with 3 long processes arising subapically from common base, 1 slender, glabrous and 2 broad, setose ( Fig. 239, 240 ); style with long, broad, striate apophysis ( Fig. 241, 242 ); dorsal connective long, narrow ( Fig. 239, 240 ); connective large, anterior arms transparent, broad basally, medial ridge complete, stem small, ovate ( Fig. 243 ); subgenital plate long, broad, sparsely setose on outer lateral margin ( Fig. 244 ).

Material examined. Holotype male. LAOS: Phongsaly prov., 21 o 38' N 101 o 57' E., Bun Neua , (4 km. E.), 20.vi.2003, 1100 m., Vit Kuban, leg./ Entomological Expedition, Laos 2003, Moravian Museum, Brno, Czech Republic ( MMBC) . Paratype, 1 male, Laos-N (Oudomxai), 1-9.v.2002, 1100 m., 20 o 45’N 102 o 09’E, Oudom Xai (17 km. NEE), Vit Kuban, leg. ( MLBM).

Etymology. The name of the species is descriptive for 3 entwined, subapical aedeagal processes.

Remarks. This species is unique from other species in the genus by the presence of 3 processes arising subapically from the aedeagus.
