Pseudoneureclipsis puyah , new species

Figs 81–84

This species resembles P. cincinnatus Malicky & Chantaramongkol, 2000 , from Thailand. The new species is easily distinguished by the preanal appendages being shorter; the preanal appendages having a small lobe on the ventroapical corners; the paraproctal processes being very slender, not broad and robust; and the coxopodites lacking the apicomesal narrowing.

Male. Forewing length 4.0 mm.

Male genitalia. Segment IX with large, triangular, weakly pigmented or semi-membranous acrotergite and sclerotized sternite with long, narrowing lateral rods articulating with tergite in hinge joints near preanal appendages. Segment X setose, short, rounded, with small medial excision in dorsal view. Preanal appendages short, each with small, ventroapical lobe; mesal setose processes slightly longer. Pair of paraproctal processes slender, spine-like, without setae, curving slightly mesad, apically tapered; proximal ends slightly bulbous, embracing venter of phallic apparatus. Inferior appendages with coxopodites large, broadening, curving dorsad at apices in lateral view. Harpagones located basodorsally on coxopodite; each with robust basal part continuing into long, slender distal part curving mesoventrad. Intersegmental membrane of each inferior appendage (articulation line between coxopodites and harpago) well visible. Phallic apparatus with broad phallobase continuing into straight, horizontal, tube-like phallotheca; slightly broadening before apex. End of phallotheca and protruding endotheca discernible; strong, curving spine embedded together with sclerotized structure, possibly representing phallotremal sclerite.

Holotype male: INDIA: Karnataka, Tunga Rives at Shimoga, 18.iv.1992, at light [J. Oláh], (OPC).

Paratypes: Same data as holotype, 5 males.

Etymology. Puyah , from Puyah , the name of the young son of the cow farmer helping to collect at the light among the cattle.
