Tumeochrysa indica Needham, 1909 View in CoL
( Figs 12–14 View FIGURE 12 View FIGURE 13 View FIGURE 14 , 54 View FIGURE 54 )
Tumeochrysa indica Needham, 1909: 204 View in CoL . Type locality: India.
Diagnosis and notes
It is hard to determine Tumeochrysa indica View in CoL without examining the male genitalia, but the photographs provided by Needham (1909) for the right fore- and hindwings, and the female genitalia by Ghosh (1991) for T. indica View in CoL are almost identical to our examined specimens from Pakistan. Therefore, we follow Needham (1909) and Ghosh (1991) and identified our Tumeochrysa View in CoL specimens to be T. indica View in CoL . Unfortunately, the male genitalia of the examined specimen was damaged. It is necessary to find the male specimen of T. indica View in CoL in Pakistan for further verification of our identification.
Redescription
Measurements (♂ n=1?, ♀ n=1). Forewing: length ♀ 24.0 mm, width 5.7 mm; hindwing: length ♀ 21.5 mm, width 5.1 mm; body length: ♂ 12.0 mm, ♀ 11.8 mm.
Head ( Figs 13A–H View FIGURE 13 ). Vertex yellow, unmarked. Postorbital sclerite yellow, unmarked. Frons, clypeus, genae, and labrum yellow, unmarked. Maxillary and labial palpi yellow, covered with short black setae. Antennal toruli yellow. Antennae shorter than forewing (length 13.7–16.9 mm), yellow, unmarked, covered with short black setae. Scape yellow, more prominent and narrowly separated in males.
Thorax ( Fig. 13E View FIGURE 13 ). Pronotum slightly wider than long (length ♂ 0.90 mm, ♀ 0.94 mm, width ♂ 1.56 mm, ♀ 1.66 mm), yellow, with an indistinct brownish spot laterally, covered with short dark brown setae ( Fig. 13G View FIGURE 13 ). Meso- and metanotum yellow, sparsely covered with short dark brown setae.
Legs ( Figs 13A, D View FIGURE 13 ). Pale yellow, unmarked, covered with short brownish setae. Pretarsal claws with distinct basal dilation, quadrate at base ( Fig. 13I View FIGURE 13 ).
Wings ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 ). Veins pale green, covered with short brownish setae. Forewing: Costal area relatively narrow at both ends, slightly wider at the longest subcostal veinlets (4–16). Subcostal area with seven crossveins below pterostigma. Pterostigma white. 20 radial cells (r cell); a few radial crossveins at subdistal margin oblique. Three Banksian cells (b cell); nine lower Banksian cells (b’ cell). Basal crossvein between Rs and M (r-m 1) oblique, meets at subdistal margin of im cell. Three series of gradates, outer gradates meet psm; 18 inner gradates (ig), 10 middle gradates (md) and 12 outer gradates (og). Two intramedian cells; first intramedian cell (im1) ovate. Second (m2) and third (m3) median cells of similar size. Three intracubital cells (two closed); first cubital crossvein proximal to second mediocubital crossvein (m-cu2); first (icu1), second (icu2) and third (icu3) intracubital cells of similar size. Hindwing: Veins pale green. Costal area narrow. Subcostal area with seven crossveins below pterostigma. Pterostigma white. 19 radial cells (r cell); radial branches oblique. Three Banksian cells (b cell); eight lower Banksian cells (b’ cell). Three series of gradates, outer gradates meet psm; 15 inner gradates, seven middle gradates (md) and nine outer gradates.
Abdomen ( Figs 13D–E View FIGURE 13 ). Tergum pale yellow, with lateral margins narrowly dark brown stripes, covered with short brown setae. Sternum pale yellow, covered with short brown setae.
Female genitalia ( Figs 14A–E View FIGURE 14 ). Tergum 8 (T8) subtrapezoidal in lateral view. T9+ect quadrate in lateral view. Sternum 7 (S7) quadrate in ventral view. Gonaphophyses lateralis (gl) oblong in lateral view. Callus cerci (cc) oblong, with 36–39 trichobothria. Subgenitale (sg) broad, quadrate, bilobed distally, heavily sclerotized. Spermatheca (sm) small, rounded, doughnut-shaped, with distinct median rounded invagination (inv) in lateral view. Spermathecal duct (sd) long, cylindrical, attached to bursa copulatrix (bc).
