Formallia longipenis sp. nov.

Figs 244–249.

Color. Very pale yellowish brown. Vertex with two black spots closer to each other than to eyes. One brown speck below each ocellus. Pronotum unspotted. Female similar to male in coloration but the spots on vertex very small.

Male genitalia. Subgenital plates triangular, distally pointed with numerous long hair-like dorsal setae. Pygofer ventrally excavated with hump-like lobe on dorsal margin, truncate caudally. Anal collar well developed, apical broad area reticulated. Styles short, stout with heavy caudal arm, surface of arm reticulated; both inner and outer arms slightly hooked at apex. Aedeagus with long strap-like preatrium, dorsal apodeme weakly sclerotized, shaft strongly hooked anteriorly, gonopore apical.

Female genitalia. Hind margin of seventh sternite slightly convex in middle and with central broad black patch.

Measurements. Male 5.2 mm long, 1.4 mm wide across eyes. Female 5.3 mm long, 1.5 mm wide across eyes.

Material examined. HOLOTYPE ♂, TAIWAN: M. Kato ( BMNH.) . PARATYPE: 1 ♂, 1 ♀, same data as holotype ( BMNH) .

Remarks. F. longipenis resembles F. truncata from which it can be distinguished by the coarsely punctate almost immaculate pronotum, long aedeagal preatrium and the structure of the caudal lobe of the pygofer.
