Cardiodactylus talaudae Robillard , n. sp.
( Figs 4 View FIGURE 4 , 6K View FIGURE 6 , 10H View FIGURE 10 , 55 View FIGURE 55 )
Type material. Male holotype: Indonesia. North Sulawesi Province, Beo ( Talaud ) eilanden [Sangihe and Talaud Islands, Karakelong Island], IV.1924, B. Rufmans [?] (MZB-ORTH10632) .
Type locality. Indonesia, Karakelong Island (Talaud Islands) .
Etymology. Named after the type locality.
Distribution. Indonesia, Karakelong Island.
Diagnosis. Species of average size, coloration brownish with yellow brown patterns, characterized by head coloration and shape of pseudepiphallic sclerite in male genitalia. Male genitalia close to that of C. empagatao (shape of pseudepiphallic dorsal ridges and rami little sclerotized) but the two species differ strikingly in terms of coloration.
Description. Average size for the species group. General coloration brown with yellow areas ( Fig. 55A–B View FIGURE 55 ). Head dorsum yellow brown with 3 wide dark brown bands, the lateral ones very wide, connected to black coloration of fastigium; the ventral band thin and punctuated, resulting from the partial fusion of 2 median lines ( Fig. 6K View FIGURE 6 ); area posterior to eyes without dark brown lines. Scapes yellow brown, with a transverse dark ring. Antennae orange brown. Face and mouthparts almost homogeneously yellow, with a transverse dark brown band below antennae, extended laterally posterior to eyes; small yellow area ventral to eyes. Pronotum: Dorsal disk dark brown with black spots, the 4 corners yellow. Lateral lobes almost black, ventral margin yellowish. Legs orange brown, with faint dark spots on femora. Hind knees dark brown. Hind wing tail dark brown. Abdomen yellow brown ventrally. Cerci orange brown with dark brown rings.
Male: FW coloration dark brown, yellow basally ( Fig. 10H View FIGURE 10 ). Yellow areas include base and transverse part of 1A, harp veins, a pale transverse band posterior to mirror, small part of chords. Orange sclerotized area near base of chords absent. Lateral field: M/R veins dark brown, area orange brown; Sc orange brown, its posterior part yellowish. Projections of Sc yellow, cells between them brown. FW venation ( Fig. 10H View FIGURE 10 ): 1A not bisinuated. CuP missing. Harp with 2 w-shaped veins. Mirror area: mirror (d1) longer than wide, oval and well defined, separated in two parts by a strong transverse vein, the posterior part triangular; d2 not distinctive; e1 crossed by transverse veins in posterior part. Apical field with 4 cell alignments posterior to mirror. Lateral field with 8 projections of Sc and 6 more ventral veins (n = 1).
Male genitalia ( Fig. 55C–E View FIGURE 55 ): Pseudepiphallus forming a wide gutter not narrowed preapically, posterior region rounded. Dorsal ridges diverging posteriorly, slightly carinated innerly, with lateral expansions folded externally. Pseudepiphallic sclerite with wide latero-anterior expansions almost rectangular, membrane between them slightly setose. Rami median part little sclerotized. Ectophallic arc and apodemes little sclerotized. Ectophallic fold little sclerotized laterally. Endophallus little sclerotized.
