Troctopsocoides gracilis View in CoL n.sp. (female)
Diagnosis. With the characters of the genus. Differing from T. erwini by slenderer wings, fewer and mostly larger spots in forewing, and longer Rs-M crossvein in forewing.
Color. Body in general gray. Compound eyes gray with slight reddish tinge. Antennae and legs brown. Forewings extensively marked with brown spots ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 9–13 ). Hindwings clear, unmarked ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 9–13 ). Wing veins dark brown. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 9–13 ) dark brown.
Structural characters. Habitus ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 9–13 ). Antennae about two-thirds length of body. Median ecdysial line of head distinct, extending to ocellar field. Surface of vertex granular. P2 apparently straight (not clearly visible in its entirety). P4 apparently same shape as in T. erwini ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1–8 ). Pretarsal claws of a foot equal in shape and size, apparently of same structure as in T. erwini . Subgenital plate ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 9–13 ) bell-shaped, darkly pigmented, appearing very rigid.
Measurements (µm). BL: 1155, FW: 1427, HW: 1161, Antenna (approximate): 820, IO: 233, D: 119, IO/D: 1.96, d: 78, IO/d: 2.99.
Etymology. The specific name refers to the slender wings of this species.
