Kodaianellissus gibbusis Kamran, Huang et Zhang View in CoL , sp. nov.

Description: Length of male (from apex of head to tip of forewing, N=3) 5.5–6.0 mm.

Vertex and frons yellowish brown, anterior margin of frons black with small yellow spots, lateral margins yellowish with brown markings. Clypeus yellowish. Eyes greyish with tanned bands. Gena and antennae brown. Pronotum yellowish, mesonotum light brown. Abdomen dark brown dorsally. Tegmina, legs and longitudinal veins brown, cross veins yellowish.

Disc of vertex rectangular, 1.9 times wider than long, centrally and laterally carinate, two rounded markings near lateral margins. Posterior margins concave, anterior margins slightly curved in mid line at apex, lateral margins slightly transverse ( Fig. 1D View FIGURE 1 ). Frons slightly globose, broader behind the eyes ( Fig. 1C View FIGURE 1 ), median carina obvious, lateral margins slightly straight, concavely truncated behind eyes, obliquely narrow near clypeus ( Fig. 1C View FIGURE 1 ). Clypeus with distinct brown transverse strips ( Fig. 1C View FIGURE 1 ). Large compound eyes ( Figs. 1C, D View FIGURE 1 ). Gena smooth, oblique in lateral view ( Fig. 1B View FIGURE 1 ). Pronotum longer than vertex centrally, anterior margin convex, strongly carinate; posterior margin truncate, central carina yellowish, two black incisions near median carina on the disk ( Fig. 1D View FIGURE 1 ). Mesonotum as long as pronotum, two brown spots near lateral margins and near base on each side of the disc, posterior one obviously smaller than apical one. Tegmina, distinctly longer than wide, ScP+R vein forked near base, ScP+RA vein long reaching ⅓ costal margin, RP vein very long, exceeding 1/3 of costa distad at outer margin of tegmina. MP vein bifurcate near basal ¼ long surpassing, MP 1+2 and MP 3+4 sinuate at apical margin. Cu forked at apical ⅓, Pcu and A 1 combine at basal half of clavus ( Fig. 1E View FIGURE 1 ). Hind wing fully developed tri-lobed. Lobe Pcu-A 1 distinctly longer than wide; A 2 lobe narrower distad at ⅓ of Pcu-A 1, A 2 lobe simple, longer not forked ( Fig. 1F View FIGURE 1 ). Hind tibiae with two lateral spines, spinal formula 8-7-2.

Male genitalia. Anal segment in dorsal view ( Fig. 1H View FIGURE 1 ) rectangular, longer than wide, laterally straight, slightly convex at basal half, anal foramen short, located in basal half ( Fig. 1H View FIGURE 1 ). Anal tube in lateral view long, convex at posterior ⅓, ventral margins slightly prominent ( Fig. 1G View FIGURE 1 ). Pygofer in lateral view, long and slender with parallel anterior and posterior margins ( Fig. 1G View FIGURE 1 ). Genital styles rectangular, widest at basal ⅓, caudoventrally rectangular slightly curved near base of capitilum at posterior margin, dorsolaterally provided with hump-like processes near base of capitulum ( Fig. 1J View FIGURE 1 ). Capitilum very long, tubular, apically sclerotized slightly bent directed anteriorly, posterior margin with lobe-like process ( Fig. 1J View FIGURE 1 ). Aedeagus in lateral view elevated at both sides, divided into two lobes, dorsolateral lobe slightly membranous in apical portion, centrally convex. Sharp sclerotized spines directed dorsad on each side of ventral apical part ( Fig. 1K View FIGURE 1 ). In ventral view, periandrium is long U-shaped, somewhat symmetrical, dorsolateral margins twisted in distal half, pair of long hooks arising in distal half directed downwards ( Fig. 1I View FIGURE 1 ).

Type materials: Holotype: ♂ Rawlakot , Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan, 33°51’32.18”N, 73° 45’34.93”E, 1628 m, 14-vii-2018, coll. Kamran Sohail. GoogleMaps Paratypes 2♂♂, same data as holotype GoogleMaps .

Female: Unknown.

Etymology: Latin word “ gibbus ” means hump, referring to hump-like processes near base of capitilum on dorsolateral side.

Host plants: Unknown.

Diagnosis: Kodaianellissus gibbusis sp. nov. can be differentiated from K. intorqueus by characters mentioned in the key.

Remarks: Phylogenetic analyses of 5 species of Hemisphaeriinae , including two out-groups ( Gelastyrella litaoensis and Darwallia barbata ), based on ML and BI analyses of nucleotide sequence data of two genes, yielded almost same topologies with strong support ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ). The molecular analyses ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ) with morphological characters indicates its placement into the Kodaianellissus .
