Diagnosis
The salient features of the new species include: tegmina ( Fig. 16 View Figs 13–20 ) with three transverse brown bands apically; ventral and dorsal margins of anal tube ( Fig. 18 View Figs 13–20 ) each with a dentate productions at apex in lateral view; gonostyli ( Fig. 19 View Figs 13–20 ) with two bumps near middle and third in caudoventral view; aedeagus ( Figs 18, 20 View Figs 13–20 ) trifurcate.
Etymology
The new species is named after its collecting location in the Shandong Province.
Type material
Holotype CHINA • ♂; Shandong Province, Yellow River Delta Nature Reserve ; 37°72′ N, 118°95′ E; 4 Aug. 2014; Wei-Bin Zheng leg.; IEGU.
Paratypes CHINA • 2 ♀♀; same collection data as for holotype; IEGU .
Description
MEASUREMENTS. Body length including tegmina: male 3.01 mm (N = 1), female 3.10–3.14 mm (N = 2).
COLORATION. General color grayish white ( Figs 3–4 View Figs 1–4 ). Eyes grayish brown. Frons pale brown, with weak brownish stripe in middle. Clypeus and antenna yellowish-brown. Vertex, pronotum and mesonotum with yellowish-brown stripe in middle, pronotum and mesonotum with two ocherous patches on both sides. Tegmina with longitudinal veins and adjacent parts of membrane with dark patterns, with three transverse brown bands apically. Wings waxy white with pale veins.
HEAD AND THORAX. Head ( Figs 3 View Figs 1–4 , 13 View Figs 13–20 ) significantly narrower than pronotum. Vertex shorter in middle than wide at base (1:2.11), posterior margin slightly convex, with two triangular posterolateral areolets widely separated from each other, not nearly approaching in middle line. Frons ( Fig. 14 View Figs 13–20 ) approximately rectangular, without median carina, longer in middle line than wide at widest portion (about 1.61: 1), lateral carinae with dense row of sensory pits along outer margin. Clypeus ( Fig. 14 View Figs 13–20 ) without lateral carinae, elevated medially, median carina present. Frontoclypeal suture nearly straight. Rostrum elongate, surpassing hind-coxae. Pronotum ( Fig. 13 View Figs 13–20 ) short, wider than maximum width of head (including eyes) (1.38: 1), lateral carinae sinuate, median carina absent. Mesonotum ( Fig. 13 View Figs 13–20 ) about 4.83 × as long as pronotum in midline, with weak median carina. Tegmina ( Fig. 16 View Figs 13–20 ) broadened apically, longer than maximal width (2.03: 1). A2 of wing ( Fig. 17 View Figs 13–20 ) not reaching margin. Metatibiotarsal formula: (3+5)-7-5.
MALE GENITALIA. Pygofer ( Figs 18–19 View Figs 13–20 ) in lateral view with dorsocaudal angle strongly produced; in caudoventral view, strongly concave medially, each side with finger-like process with hairs lateroapically, slightly curved outwardly. Anal tube stout ( Figs 15, 18 View Figs 13–20 ) in lateral view, ventral margin of anal tube waved, apex of ventral and dorsal margins each with dentate productions; in dorsal view, bifurcate; anal style short. Aedeagus ( Figs 18, 20 View Figs 13–20 ) trifurcate in lateral view, little shorter than anal tube, lower part of aedeagus slightly blunt, bifurcate at apex, upper one bends to form protrusion. Gonostyli ( Figs 18– 19 View Figs 13–20 ) in lateral view, curved at middle, inner side concave medially producing angular production; in caudoventral view, two bumps near middle and third, respectively.
Distribution
China (Shandong) ( Fig. 21 View Fig 21 ).
Remarks
This species is similar to E. matsumurai Tsaur, Yang & Wilson, 1986 , but differs from the latter in: (1) aedeagus trifurcate (aedeagus bifurcate in E. matsumurai ); (2) gonostyli with two bumps near middle and third in caudoventral view (gonostyli with three bumps near middle in caudoventral view in E. matsumurai ); (3) inner side of gonostyli medially producing an angular production (inner side of gonostyli concave medially without an angular production in E. matsumurai ).
