Callitricola , new genus

TYPE SPECIES: Callitricola wiradjuri , n. sp., by original designation.

DIAGNOSIS: Defined by the following characters: variable size (fig. 13); subovate to elongate; pale dusty green to yellowish-green coloration; antennae green; cuneus green; forewing membrane with subcuneal clear spot (fig. 12B), light brown, with darker patches laterally; forewing membrane veins either green or orange/yellow, major cell sometimes with green spot (fig. 13); dorsum with moderate distribution of pale simple setae; pygophore with short dark spinelike setae proximate to genital opening on ventral surface (fig. 31A, B); genital opening of pygophore large, round (figs. 29A, 31B); pygophore dorsal margin straight (figs. 30H, 32A), rarely moderately concave (figs.43H, 45A), with one short left lateral tergal process positioned left lateral or just left of midline on dorsal margin of pygophore (figs. 38A, 39F), rarely absent (figs. 30H, 32A), rarely with second right lateral tergal process or lobe (figs. 36A, 43H); phalloguide on pygophore with small, sclerotized, and weakly serrate lobe or very small lobe with serrate margin ventrad to right paramere articulation (figs. 29A, 32A); left paramere L-shaped, only weakly expanded medially, sen- sory lobe elongate and round, strongly curved, apex mostly hooked (figs. 29B, 32B); left paramere positioned just inside and along entire ventral margin of pygophore (figs. 31A, 43B); right paramere club shaped, widest distally, with an apical or subapical flange on inner ventral surface, shape more variable than left paramere (figs. 28C, 32C, 33C); right paramere nested within pygophore with only expanded apex visible externally (figs. 31B, 44B); phallotheca very dark and heavily sclerotized, visible protruding from genital opening, well beyond parameres, covered with membranous proctiger (figs. 31A, B, 44A, B), with subapical ventral tumescence and right basal lobe and tumescence on dorsal margin; aedeagus with three mostly elongate sclerotized endosomal spicules (figs. 11, 31D–F), proximal endosomal spicule (PES) positioned ventral or left ventrolateral to and sheathing, fully (figs. 38G, 40E), partially (figs. 29D, 33E) or slightly removed from secondary gonopore (figs. 28F, 31F, 32F), second dorsal endosomal spicule (DES2) left lateral to PES (fig. 29) or dorsad to PES and secondary gonopore (fig. 28), first dorsal endosomal spicule (DES1) left lateral (fig. 29) or dorsad to DES2 (fig. 28); PES and DES2 associated with secondary gonopore, while DES1 is removed from secondary gonopore and adjacent to DES2 (fig. 31C); DES1 with basal keel (DESk) (fig. 32F); PES bifurcate distally, left branch downturned or perpendicular, with or without medial process, distally serrate (figs. 31D, E, 33F); DES2 simple, unbranched (fig. 35E, F), or bifurcate in distal half (figs. 36I, J), distally serrate (figs. 28, 31D, 32F) or smooth (figs. 29D, 33F, 35F); DES1 simple, unbranched or bifurcate, distally serrate, with basal keel (figs. 28E, 29D, 32F, 42H); female, vestibulum heavily sclerotized, ventral labiate plate with paired spiniferous lateral lobes (fig. 46A); large spiniferous mediolateral lobes on dorsal labiate plate (fig. 46A); interramal sclerites, deeply divided with V-shaped junction, with two pairs of interramal lobes (figs. 46B, 48), partially joined at base, lateral interramal lobe with basal lobe (fig. 48).

DESCRIPTION: Male: Macropterous, small to large size, body subovate to elongate, sides paral- lel or slightly round; body length 2.84–5.73 mm (fig. 13). COLORATION: Dorsum pale to bright, yellowish green, often faded to yellow as specimens age, with partial color retained on hemelytra and pronotum, or faded yellow all over; when faded, specimens may sometimes have bright green patches of pigmentation retained on hemelytra on inner lateral margin of clavus, lateral margins above and below costal fracture, and lateral margins and tip of cuneus; cuneus concolorous, sometimes slightly more yellow than rest of hemelytra; forewing membrane translucent light silvery gray-brown, sometimes with slightly darker patches laterally; clear spot present below cuneus (fig. 12B); veins orange-yellow with pigmentation confined to vein or yellowish green with adjacent suffusion onto surrounding membrane, middle of inner cell (major cell) sometimes with green spot; venter yellowish green, often faded to yellow; legs mostly yellow with little green and orange pigmentation; tarsi darkened (fig. 13). SURFACE AND VESTITURE: Dorsum smooth, weakly polished, with moderately dense covering of pale to medium-brown, semierect simple setae, sometimes more bristlelike on head and along lateral dorsal margins. Antennae: Dense covering of short, pale, soft, simple setae; AI, simple setae medium-brown and more bristlelike, with few long erect spinelike setae (approx. 5). Legs: Femora with medium-brown to dark simple setae and some longer, erect, spinelike setae; tibiae and tarsi with pale simple setae; hind tibiae with several rows of minute, dark spinulae; tibial spines light brown. Male genitalia: Pygophore, ventral surface proximate to genital opening with short, light or dark brown, spinelike setae (fig. 31A, B). STRUCTURE: Head: Subovate in lateral view; moderately expanded anteriorly; frons sloping downward, mandibular and maxillary plates and clypeus not greatly enlarged; clypeus moderately prominent with rounded dorsal margin; eyes moderately large occupying two-thirds to threequarters of head height, strongly exerted beyond outline of head, extending well past anterolateral angle of pronotum; labium medium length,
