Anomaloblaste s udaryantoi, sp. nov.

( Figs 32–34 )

Female unknown.

Male. Coloration (after ca 3 years in alcohol). Head yellowish brown. Epicranial suture dark brown; very light brown marks each side of epicranial suture extending to posterior margin of vertex. Eyes black. Ocelli pale, black on the centripetal margin. Frons with median light brown mark. Frons vertex suture pale. Postclypeus with brown striation, anteclypeus brown on dorsal third, otherwise pale, labrum dark brown, maxillary palp pale, dark brown on apical segment. Gena unmarked. Antenna, scape, pedicel and first flagellar segment yellowish, rest of flagellar segments brown. Thorax, dorsal lobe dark brown, yellowish along suture. Wings ( Fig. 32 ) hyaline. Legs pale except coxa and tarsal segments dark brown.

Morphology. IO:D 1.18; Ct 23 (t1), 2 (t2). Fore wing ( Fig. 32 ) pterostigma long, veins Rs and M connected by long crossvein, areola postica tall. Hypandrium ( Fig. 33 ) simple with lateral and apical sclerotised bar. Phallosome ( Fig. 33 ): parameres separate, very large posteriorly, with long spine. Epiproct and paraproct ( Fig. 34 ): paraproct with field of about 26 trichobothria.

Dimensions. B 1.95; FW 2.94; HW 2.06; F 0.63; T 1.3; t1 0.10; t2 0.42; t1/t2 42; f1 0.69; f2 1.19; f1/f2 1.19. Holotype male: INDONESIA, SUMATRA, West, Kerinci Seblat National Park, Birun, dead leaves, 240m, 18.I.1997, ESK.

Remarks. On fore wing venation the specimen above is referred to Anomaloblaste , in having a long pterostigma, long crossvein and five-sided tall areola postica. The fore wings of Amphigerontia and Mecampsis also have a crossvein, but this is shorter than that of the above specimen. The shape of the areola postica also differs. The parameres of the phallosome resemble those of Amphigerontia bifasciata (Latreille) , A. anchonae Li and A. lhasana Li & Yang , in each having a posterior hook, but the hypandrium differs from those three species; it is simple and lacks the accessory sclerite.

This species is named for Sudaryanto, in appreciation of his help to ESK during her field work in Sumatra.
