Description
ɗ, BL: 15.4 mm; HL: 2.8 mm; HW: 1.4 mm; FWL: 11.7 mm.
General color ochraceous, marked with fuscous and brown. Vertex and most part of genae ochraceous, areas surrounding ocellus and antenna beneath eye yellowish. Frons yellowish brown; postclypeus, anteclypeus, and labrum fuscous. Rostrum pale brown, tip black. Pronotum ochraceous, suffused with blackish brown; lateral, ventrally curved areas with broad, triangular, yellowish spot. Mesonotum ochraceous, marked with fuscous. Thorax ventrally dark brown, marked with yellowish brown. Legs fuscous, marked with pale brown; coxae blackish brown, middle coxae much paler; femora with numerous pale brown speckles; tibiae pale brown with two broad fuscous rings basally and medially respectively; tarsi and claws brown; tips of apical spines on hind tibiae and tarsi black. Abdomen ventrally yellowish, dorsally dark brown with yellowish brown spots; pygofer and parameres fuscous.
Head ( Figs. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 12 , 36–38 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ) short, shorter than pronotum and mesonotum combined. Vertex ( Figs. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 12 , 36 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ) with cephalic process relatively short and robust, with median carina only conspicuous at basal 1/3, remainder faint; lateral carinate margins curved anterior to eyes. Frons ( Fig. 38 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ) with lateral carinae reaching to frontoclypeal suture.
Mesonotum ( Figs. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 12 , 36 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ) tricarinate on disc, with median carina conspicuous but not reaching extreme tip. Fore wing venation as in Fig. 42 View FIGURES 36 – 45 .
Male genitalia with pygofer ( Figs. 39–41 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ) large, broad in lateral view, posterior margin straight, excavated over apical 1/5 to accommodate anal tube, length ratio of upper margin to lower margin about 1: 1.5. Anal tube ( Figs. 39, 40 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ) large and nearly triangular in lateral view ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ), large and oval in dorsal view ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ), ratio of length to width at middle about 1.6: 1. Anal style ( Figs. 39, 40 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ) narrow, long. Parameres ( Figs. 40, 41 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ) relatively large and broad in lateral aspect ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ), apex sharply rounded, protruded posteriorly. Aedeagus ( Figs. 43–45 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ) with phallobasal conjunctival processes spiraled dorsally; phallobase narrow, long, curved dorsally, with apical, dorsal, membranous lobe stout and large, produced caudad in lateral view ( Fig. 44 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ), without spines; in ventral aspect ( Fig. 43 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ), apical, ventral, membranous lobe triangular, converging toward apex, produced toward base of phallobase, covered with numerous fine spines at apex.
Material examined
Holotype ɗ, China, Henan, Xishan, Taiping, 17.vii.1957, Y. S. Shi ( IZCAS).
Etymology
This species is named for its occurrence in Henan Province of China.
Remarks
This species is similar to S. ussuriensis ( Lethierry, 1878) and S. fuscoclypeata sp. nov. but can be distinguished from the two species by its frons with lateral carinae reaching to frontoclypeal suture and the aedeagus with phallobasal conjunctival processes spiraled dorsally ( Figs. 43–45 View FIGURES 36 – 45 ).
Distribution
China (Henan).
