Phylloicus elegans Hogue and Denning View in CoL

Figs. 43 View FIGURE 43 , 44 View FIGURE 44 , 109 View FIGURES 109-112. — 109

Phylloicus elegans Hogue and Denning, 1983 View in CoL in Denning et al. 1983:184 [Type locality: Panama, Canal Zone, Barro Colorado Island; WSU; male]. — Flint 1991:98 [male, distribution].

The wing pattern of P. elegans View in CoL ( Fig. 109 View FIGURES 109-112. — 109 ) is identical to that of P. lituratus View in CoL . However, the male abdomen of P. elegans View in CoL is very distinctive: tergum IV has distinctively shaped posteriorly projecting lateral sclerites and multilobed lateral coremata ( Fig. 43F View FIGURE 43 ). The females of the two species are indistinguishable, and as several series from different localities contain males of both P. elegans View in CoL and P. lituratus View in CoL , all determinations of females are tentative. Hybrids may occur; this is discussed under P. lituratus View in CoL .

Adult. Forewing length 10.4­12.1 mm, n = 106.

Head chestnut brown. Maxillary palps dark brown. Antenna twice forewing length; chestnut brown, with narrow patches of pale sensilla on anteromesal surface of each flagellomere. Dorsal pterothorax chestnut brown; ventrolateral thorax golden. Femora golden; foretibiae dark brown; mesotibiae dark brown; metatibiae dark brown; foretarsi dark brown; mesotarsi white proximally, dark distally; metatarsi dark brown. Metathoracic leg of male with posterior fringe of long setae, setae dark. Tibial spur formula 2,4,4. Forewing flat; dark brown; with two transverse bands; proximal band ivory, reaching posterior wing margin, at least 1/2 width of wing, an inverted V­shape; distal band ivory, beginning at anterior wing margin, at least 1/2 width of wing; with two basal stripes, ivory ( Fig. 109 View FIGURES 109-112. — 109 ). Hind wing basal brush present in male and female; male brush light brown; female brush dark brown.

Male. Preterminalic abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Corematic structures present. Tergum IV with paired posterior processes and paired lateral sclerites, lateral coremata; posterior process truncate; lateral sclerite spatulate, directed laterally; lateral coremata with basal globose lobes. Tergum V without sclerotized modifications ( Fig. 43F View FIGURE 43 ). Sternum VII with short, acute anteromesal process. Sternum VIII enclosing base of elongate sternum IX; posteromesal process notched, notch deep and round ( Fig. 43A, C View FIGURE 43 ). Tergum IX with mesal ridge extending full length of segment; posterior margin with round narrow mesal projection ( Fig. 43B View FIGURE 43 ); lateral ridge present; dorsal pleural setae approximately 4, ventral pleural setae approximately 2 ( Fig. 43A View FIGURE 43 ). Preanal appendage at least 11/2 times length of tergum X, widest apically, setae filamentous, longer than appendage ( Fig. 43A, B View FIGURE 43 ). Tergum X without basal lobes; basodorsal process short and digitate; basolateral processes short, length less than or equal to diameter; apex, in lateral view, truncate, in dorsal view, entire or notched, notch shallow; with paired dorsolateral ridges ( Fig. 43A, B View FIGURE 43 ). Harpago rounded; peglike setae many, apical ( Fig. 43A, C View FIGURE 43 ). Phallotremal sclerites average size, longest dimension less than diameter of phallobase; dorsal sclerite ovoid, in dorsal view horseshoe­shaped ( Fig. 43D, E View FIGURE 43 ).

Female. Preterminal abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Sternum VII with short pointed anteromesal process. Tergum VIII without posterolateral brush; sternum VIII with shallow posteromesal notch, or posterior margin entire; sternum VIII ( Fig. 44C View FIGURE 44 ). Tergum IX without mesal ridge ( Fig. 44B View FIGURE 44 ). Sternum IX anterior and posterior lobes darkly sclerotized and striate, with patch of lightly sclerotized cuticle lateral to vaginal opening ( Fig. 44A View FIGURE 44 ). Tergum X appendage shorter than mesal lobe, base indistinct, apex oblique; mesal lobe lightly sclerotized; digitate lateral processes absent ( Fig. 44B View FIGURE 44 ). Sternum X with patches of short fine setae posterolaterally to anal opening ( Fig. 44A View FIGURE 44 ). Vaginal apparatus anterior and posterior sclerites equal in length; anterior sclerite truncate anteriorly, posterolateral projections absent; posterior sclerite triangular; posterior end of spermatheca a sclerotized cone ( Fig. 44A View FIGURE 44 ).
