HERAEUS HOLLYAE BARANOWSKI, 2005 View in CoL

( FIGS 3G View Figure 3 , 11B View Figure 11 , 12E–H View Figure 12 , 13 View Figure 13 )

Heraeus hollyae Baranowski, 2005: 141 View in CoL (in Baranowski & Slater, 2005).

Diagnosis

Posterior pronotal lobe nearly uniformly dark, with two short yellow lines. Meso- and metafemur bicoloured, with basal two-thirds yellowish and apical third brown. Specimens of H. hollyae share with H. guttatus the contrastingly darkened apical third of metafemur, but differ in having the posterior pronotal lobe nearly uniformly dark, with only two short yellowish lines.

Description of characters used in phylogenetic analysis ( Fig. 3G View Figure 3 )

Head: Coriaceous. Eyes not surpassing the dorsal margin of head in lateral view. Ocelli posterior to an imaginary line passing the posterior border of eyes. Labium extending to mesocoxae. Distiflagellomere with a pale band.

Thorax: Anterior and posterior pronotal lobe without long setae. Posterior pronotal lobe nearly uniformly dark, with two short yellow lines. Males generally with a strongly globose anterior pronotal lobe. Scutellum without erect setae. Inner corial spot present. Costal margin pale on proximal three-quarters, with a subapical corial spot. Veins of membrane paler and with a pale apical spot. Posterior half of hemelytra dark with the subapical corial spot and apical spot of membrane conspicuously pale. Legs: Profemur dark with apices paler, apical half of metafemur darker ( Fig. 11B View Figure 11 ). Profemur with sparse short setae. Mesofemur and protibia spinose.

Abdomen, male genitalia: Pygophore ( Fig. 12E, F View Figure 12 ) rounded. Anterior margin of dorsal aperture rounded. Parameres: Figure 12 View Figure 12 (G, H). Aedeagus: conjunctiva and vesica unspined, lobes of vesica weakly sclerotized, without spines; processus gonopori long and slender.
