Parapiromis santacruzensis View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs. 34–42 View FIGURES 34 – 42 , 43 View FIGURE 43 )
Description. 3 (n=1), BL: 7.0 mm, FWL: 6.5 mm.
General colour fuscous. Frons and clypeus brown. Rostrum pallid. Vertex and pronotum brown. Mesonotum fuscous. Thorax fuscous ventrally. Legs pale brown; tarsi and tips of tibiae fuscous. Abdomen brown ventrally, and pale brown dorsally. Fore wing with brown precostal area, costal cell and basal cell, anterior part of corium brown with many hyaline areoles, forming a wide brown band near middle; apical margins with a wider brown fascia; stigma white, nearly opaque.
Head (including compound eyes) ( Figs. 34, 35 View FIGURES 34 – 42 ) slightly narrower than pronotum. Vertex ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 34 – 42 ) wider at anterior margin than long in middle line (10.9:1). Frons ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 34 – 42 ) wider at widest part than long in middle line (1.3:1); disc tricarinate, sublateral carinae slightly longer than central carina, a transverse carina present distally. Clypeus ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 34 – 42 ) triangular, without central carina.
Pronotum ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 34 – 42 ) wider at widest part than long in middle line (6.2:1), punctuated beside central carina. Mesonotum ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 34 – 42 ) large, longer than broad, with tricarinate on disc, lateral carinae weakly sinuately converging anteriorly and narrowly rounding to meet in middle line, anterolateral carinae forward bending slightly, uniting with lateral carinae at middle. Wing venation as in Figs. 36–37 View FIGURES 34 – 42 .
Male genitalia with pygofer ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 34 – 42 ) narrow and high, with dorsal posterior margin smoothly produced posteriorly in lateral view. Anal tube ( Fig. 38 View FIGURES 34 – 42 ) moderately large, oval in dorsal view, longer than wide at middle (1.4:1). Genital styles ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 34 – 42 ) relatively small, broad in lateral aspect, with long apical process, in profile longer than wide at middle (2.5:1). Aedeagus ( Figs. 40–42 View FIGURES 34 – 42 ) stout, nearly straight, mostly sclerotised, with two rows of short spines ventrally in discal half: one row of 14 spines, and another row of 15 spines, and two pairs of cephalad directed dorsal processes at apex, the inner pair spinose short, deeply crossed, the outer pair long, moderately sinuate, narrowly tubular and weakly sinuate in basal, membranous in the succeeding, and sclerotised and acuminate apically, nearly paralleled near base, crossed at end.
Material examined. Holotype 3, Solomon Islands Santa Cruz: Graciosa Bay, 0–50 m, i.1977. N.L.H. Krauss ( AMNH).
Etymology. The name is derived from the type locality (Santa Cruz) of the only known specimen.
Distribution. Solomon Islands.
Remarks. This species can be distinguished from other known species in Parapiromis by its aedeagus with two rows of short spines.
