Hagrides mandibularis sp. nov.

( Figs. 9 F–I, 17F )

Diagnosis. H. mandibularis is similar to H. blackburni but can be recognised by having longer mandibles ( Fig. 9I ), the male abdominal ventrite 5 without transverse elevations at base, the tegmen with shorter parameres. A female is diagnosed by having the ovipositor with shorter distal gonocoxites. It can be separated from H. princeps by having completely punctate pronotal disc, smaller sexual patches on abdominal ventrites, and the tegmen with very short parameres and basal triangular projection. A female can be separated by the rounded distal gonocoxal apices.

Description. Male. Body length 30–52 mm. Body sub-parallel, slightly convex; head weakly transverse; mandibles longer than eye length; pronotum as long as head capsule and pronotal width 1.5× of head width; elytra over 4× longer than pronotum. Antennal scape about 1.5× of antennomere 3 length; interorbital width over 1.2× of eye length. Prosternal process width about the same as hypomeron width and 0.7× length of procoxal cavity; mesoventral process as broad as prosternal process. Abdominal ventrites 1 and 5 longer than the others; ventrite 5 emarginate apically. Metatarsomeres 1–3 equal in length, tarsomere 5 shorter than 1–3 combined. Female. Body length 50–80 mm.

Etymology. The species name emphasises its elongate mandibles, which is a distinctive character to separate it from the morphologically similar species.
