Kusala (Kusala) viraktamathi View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1 , 5 View FIGURE 5 a–d)
Description. Ground color greyish brown, face light brown. Anteclypeus broad. ( Figs 5 View FIGURE 5 a–d)
Male 2S abdominal apodemes ( Fig. 1c View FIGURE 1 ) extended to hind margin of sternite IV. Anal tube appendage ( Figs 1d, e View FIGURE 1 ) long.
Subgenital plate ( Figs 1d, g View FIGURE 1 ) with about 4 thick and 3 thin macrosetae. Apical part of style ( Fig. 1h View FIGURE 1 ) broad, with dense furrows. Connective ( Fig. 1i View FIGURE 1 ) with lateral arms slightly sinuated. Aedeagus ( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1 j–l) very similar to that of K. (K.) salicis ( Ahmed, 1970), dorsal lamella long, with serrated margin, shaft with finger-like ventral process subapically; dorsal apodeme relatively long in lateral view; preatrium slim, length subequal to shaft.
Diagnosis. The new species is similar to K. (K.) salicis, but the style is broad apically with a larger preapical lobe, the connective has the lateral arms slightly sinuate, and the ventral process of the aedeagal shaft is subapical.
Measurement. Male length 2.50–2.70mm, female length 2.50–2.80mm.
Material examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Jinghong , 600m, Urtica sp., 25 xii 1999, coll. I. Dworakowska; paratypes: 16♂♂ 22♀♀, same data as holotype.
