Diagnosis.

Adult males of Nannaria honeytreetrailensis sp. nov. are distinct from other Nannaria and the nearby N. scutellaria, based on the following combination of characters: Gonopods: Gonopodal acropodite gently curving medially throughout, not straight with 90° medial bend as in N. scutellaria . Tip blunt, with small, triangular lateral flange (Fig. 102A, red arrow), lacking triangular medial flange of N. daptria sp. nov. Acropodite swollen basal to apex (Fig. 102A, red triangle), lacking acicular medial flange of N. scutellaria . Prefemur with short, acuminate, ventrally curving prefemoral process, not long, medially curving as in N. daptria sp. nov., or laterally curving as in N. scutellaria . Prefemoral process arising dorsolaterally from prominent, blunt prefemoral spine, not claw-like, as in N. daptria sp. nov. Telopodite basal zone height> 1/3 length of acropodite, not <1/3 as in N. scutellaria . Color: Tergites with large, hot orange/pink paranotal spots (Fig. 103). Black background. Dorsum of collum smooth with hot orange/pink margin.
