Thapaia multibudna View in CoL Song & Li sp. nov.
( Figs. 12–22 View FIGURES 12 – 22 )
Color pattern (including dorsum and face) and external features similar to T. tina sp. nov. ( Figs. 12, 13 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ). Other morphology as in T. tina except as noted below.
Abdominal apodemes ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ) not extended beyond 3rd sternite.
Male genitalia: Pygofer lobe ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ) posterior margin with a small hook-like process, curved ventrally and a group of microsetae around it. Anal tube ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ) with pair of basal processes. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ) with 4 macrosetae and apex bending towards to inner margin, dentiform-like. Style ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ) slim, with a tiny preapical lobe. Aedeagal shaft ( Figs. 20, 21 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ) with a large single basal process and pair of teeth-like processes at sub-base. Preatrium about as long as shaft. Gonopore subapical, ventrad. Connective ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ) Yshaped.
Measurement: Body length males 3.3–3.5 mm, females 3.3–3.5 mm.
Material examined: Holotype male: CHINA, Guizhou Prov. Qianxi County, Bailidujuan, 1500–1700 m, 15~17 (ten)-2007, coll. Qiongzhang Song. Paratypes: eight males, twelve females, same data as holotype.
Remarks: The new species closely resembles T. tina sp. nov., but can be distinguished from the latter by the aedeagal shaft ( Figs. 20, 21 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ) with the pair of small tooth-like processes sub-basallly (not sub-apically), and by the abdominal apodemes ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ) short, not extended beyond the 3rd sternite.
Etymology: The specific name is derived from the Latin prefix “multi-” (several, a few) and “budna” (sprout, teeth), which refers to the aedeagal shaft with five shorter or longer processes.
