Calodia birama View in CoL , sp. nov.

( Plate 1F View PLATE 1 , Fig. 47-54 View Figures 47-54 )

Description. Length: Male 7.70 mm., female unknown.

External morphology. Moderate size, slender species. General color black throughout; head distinctly narrower than pronotum, anterior margin broadly obtuse; crown narrower than width of eyes, slightly produced anteriorly, its margins convergent basally; eyes large, semiglobular; pronotum large, about 1/3 longer medially than crown, surface rugulose in disconnected strands; mesonotum large, about twice as long medially than pronotum; clypeus long, narrow, lateral margins broadly convex; clypellus narrow, short, about 1/3 as long as clypeus, with medial longitudinal ridge, apex flared.

Male genitalia. Pygofer sharply triangulate in apical 2/3, small lobe on caudodorsal margin ( Fig. 47 View Figures 47-54 ); aedeagus asymmetrical, shaft narrowly tubular in dorsal and lateral views, 2 long subapical processes widely separated, gonopore near basal process ( Fig. 48, 49 View Figures 47-54 ); style moderately long, apophysis broadly digitate ( Fig. 50, 51 View Figures 47-54 ); dorsal connective long, narrow ( Fig. 48, 50 View Figures 47-54 ); connective small, membranous arms short, quadrate, stem rectangular ( Fig. 53 View Figures 47-54 ); subgenital plate long, narrow, row of microsetae on outer lateral margin ( Fig. 54 View Figures 47-54 ).

Material examined. Holotype male. PHILIPPINES: 1600 m., Mindanao , 30 km. W. of Maramag, 28-30. Dec. 1990, Bolm, leg. ( NHMB).

Etymology. The name of the species is descriptive for the 2 long subapical processes on the aedeagus.

Remarks. This species is nearest to C. obscura and can be distinguished by 2 processes (3 in C. obscura ), lack of caudoventral process on the pygofer that is very evident in C. obscura and presence of a row of microsetae on the subgenital plate.
