Neoempheria bisecuriata View in CoL sp. n.
[Japanese name: futaono-nagamado-kinoko-bae] ( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 c, 3c, 7, 11a–e)
Description. Body length: 5.7 mm (n= 1) in male, 6.6 mm (n= 1) in female. Wing length: 5.2 mm (n= 1) in male, 5.7 mm (5.4–6.0 mm, n= 2) in female. Wing ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 c): vein sc-r ending basal 3/8 of anterior margin of cell r. Vein Rs longer than distance between basal end of vein Rs and apical end of vein sc-r. Male: genitalia yellow in ground color, with distinct black marks on sternal projection of S9 and surrounding parts, basal portion of aedeagus yellow. S9 ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 a: S9) broad, 5/7 as wide as long, posterior margin projected as extension. Sternal projection ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 a: sp) of S9 acute at apex, extended anteriorly. Gonocoxite ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 a, b: gc) without gonocoxal lobe. Gonostylus ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 a: gs) short, apical half 2 times as wide as base. Aedeagus ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 a, b) dilated at apical half, with pair of ventral projections ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 a, b: vp). Sclerotized part of aedeagus ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 a: sa) with 2 pairs of extensions, ventral pair ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 b: ve) supporting projection, dorsal pair extending to dorsolateral portion of aedeagus. Female: S7 with strong setae on posterior margin, posterior margin gently convex. S8 quadrate in ventral view. Gonocoxite 8 ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 c: gc8) small, recognizable as bump at lateral corner in posterior margin of S8. Gonapophysis 8 ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 c: gp8) slender, with blunt apex. Gonocoxite 9 yellow, with distinct projection, upward at apex ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 d). Gonapophysis 9 ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 d, e: gp9) black, with a single ventromedial ridge, apex with gonopore prolonged.
Specimens examined. Holotype. Male. “Higasiarita/ Hita C/ Oita Pref./ Kyushu Japan / 25.x.2012 / M. Sueyoshi leg.”, “Ne.1197” (BLKU). Paratype. JAPAN [KYUSHU] Oita P: same data as holotype (1♀: Ne.1195; BLKU); Yaso, Hita C, 27.ix.2012, MS (2♀: Ne.1194, 1198; BLKU).
Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from Latin and refers to the sternite 9 having two (bi-) ax-like (securiatus) projections ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 a).
Distribution. Japan (Kyushu) ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 ).
Remarks. This species is distinguished from similar species by the sternal projection of the male sternite 9, of which the apex is directed anteriorly ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 a), and in the female by the gonocoxite 9 with an upward projection ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 e) and black gonapophysis 9 with a single ventromedial ridge ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 e).
