( Figures 1–3 View Figure 1 View Figure 2 View Figure 3 )
Type material
Holotype: male ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 ), “ Negros , the Philippines // Early VIII. 2003 // Coll. Young June LEE” (printed white label) ( KNAM) . Paratypes: 2 males and 2 females, same data as holotype ( KNAM) .
Etymology
The specific name is derived from the long abdomen of this species, which is considerably longer than in its congeners.
Measurements of types
Measurements are given in mm for 3 males or 2 females. Length of body: male 29.6 (28.9–30.6), female 22.9 (22.6–23.2); length of forewing: male 35.9 (35.4–36.5), female 33.6 (33.5–33.6); width of forewing: male 12.0 (11.7–12.3), female 10.7 (10.5–10.9); length of head: male 3.7 (3.6–3.9), female 3.4 (3.4–3.4); width of head including eyes: male 8.5 (8.3–8.7), female 7.8 (7.7–7.9); width of pronotum: male 9.2 (9.1–9.4), female 8.4 (8.2–8.5); width of mesonotum: male 7.9 (7.7–8.2), female 7.5 (7.2–7.7); wing span: male 79.2 (77.3–80.4), female 74.4 (73.4–75.4). Ratio of body length to head width: male 3.50 (3.48–3.52), female 2.94 (2.94–2.94).
Diagnosis
This species is distinguished from its congeners by non-prominent basal lobes of the pygofer ( Figure 3A View Figure 3 ), very long male abdomen, which is much longer than distance from head to cruciform elevation ( Figure 1A View Figure 1 ), and the uncus with a widely truncate apex in ventral view ( Figure 3A View Figure 3 ).
Description of male ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 )
Head greenish ochraceous to ochraceous with the following black to fuscous markings: a median marking enclosing ocelli, of which anterior tip does not reach frontoclypeal suture; a pair of spots on the sides of the median marking, which are connected with the median marking; a pair of transverse markings between the spot and supra-antennal plate, which are connected with the spots in a paratype; a median fascia along posterior margin of head; and four to five other pairs of tiny spots or markings. Distance between lateral ocelli and compound eyes slightly narrower than or about as wide as twice the distance between two lateral ocelli. Postclypeus much swollen. Antennae dark brown. Ventral part of head greenish ochraceous to ochraceous with black to fuscous markings. Postclypeus with fasciae along transverse grooves on about anterior twothirds. Anteclypeus with a pair of paramedian longitudinal fasciae on about anterior two-thirds, of which anterior tips slightly curved laterad. Rostrum fuscous to dark brown apically; passing centre of sternite I. Lorum with a small marking on anterior apical part and a small longitudinal marking along inner margin of posterior part. Gena with a transverse fascia between postclypeus and compound eye.
Pronotum greenish ochraceous to ochraceous. Inner area of pronotum with a pair of central longitudinal fasciae broadened at both anterior and posterior ends, a pair of short, oblique branches from middle of the central longitudinal fasciae along paramedian fissures, a median transverse fascia along anterior margin of pronotum, a pair of obliquely longitudinal markings between median parts of paramedian fissures and posterior ends of lateral fissures, a pair of fasciae along lateral fissures, and a pair of curved fasciae along lateral margins of inner area, black to fuscous. Pronotal collar with a narrow transverse fascia along posterior margin and a pair of small spots at lateral inner corner, which is fused with the curved fasciae of inner area. Anterolateral pronotal collar slightly developed and dentate.
Mesonotum greenish ochraceous to ochraceous with a median longitudinal fascia slightly broadened at posterior end to reach anterior margin of cruciform elevation, a pair of small roundish spots enclosing scutal depressions, a pair of inwardly curved markings along parapsidal sutures, and three pairs (some of them sometimes indistinct) of longitudinally arranged spots on lateral sigilla, with anterior-most one reaching anterior margin of mesonotum, black to fuscous. In a paratype, a pair of narrow longitudinal fasciae present between parapsidal suture and scutal depression. Cruciform elevation greenish ochraceous to ochraceous with fuscous anterior subapical parts. Ventral part of thorax greenish ochraceous to ochraceous with a pair of fuscous spots on basisternum 2.
Legs greenish ochraceous to ochraceous. Fore-femur with a small subapical spine as well as primary and secondary spines and a fuscous fascia along midline of ventral side. About apical one-third of fore- and mid-pretarsi fuscous. Fore-, mid- and hind pretarsal claws brown with fuscous apical part.
Wings hyaline. Forewing with a distinct infuscation at bases of apical cells 2 and 3. A spot appearing on each hind margin of veins radius anterior 2 (RA 2), radius posterior (RP), median veins 1–4 (M 1–4) and cubitus anterior 1 (CuA 1), of which usually first four or five spots distinct but others rather indistinct. Basal cell slightly tinged ochraceous. Basal membrane greyish ochraceous. Hind wing jugum greyish ochraceous.
Operculum greenish ochraceous to ochraceous without marking; upside-down triangular with posterior angle rounded or semicircular, and scarcely or not passing posterior margin of sternite II. Lateral margin of operculum weakly sinuate at base. Anterior half of inner margin deeply concave. Two opercula apart from each other, with gap about one-third as wide as operculum.
Abdomen cylindrical, much longer than distance from head to cruciform elevation. Abdomen mostly ochraceous, but tergite 8 mostly black except posterior part. Tergite 7 with fuscous lateral margins and a pair of transversely arranged median black spots (sometimes fused with each other) on anterior margin. Tergites 3, 4, 5 and 6 each with a pair of submarginal fuscous spots. Caudal margins of each tergite narrowly black. Posterior margin of tergite 3 wider than anterior margin of mesonotum. Timbal cover greenish ochraceous to ochraceous; quarter round or trapezoid with lateral side more than twice as long as inner side and with anterior angles rounded. Timbal concealed with timbal cover in dorsal view. Ventral part of abdomen ochraceous except sternite VII, which is mostly fuscous. In holotype, ventral part of abdomen, especially sternites VI and VII, covered with white pollinosity. Sternites III and IV each with a pair of tubercles on lateral surfaces, which protrude laterad, sometimes slightly obliquely downward. Apical half or two-thirds of the tubercles fuscous.
Male genitalia ( Figure 3 View Figure 3 ): pygofer oval in ventral view. Uncus simple, short, undivided, and with a widely truncate apex in ventral view. Distal shoulder of pygofer slightly extended distally and upcurved and pointed dorsally. Dorsal beak long, slen- der, and acute. Basal lobe of pygofer present, but not prominent.
Description of female ( Figure 2 View Figure 2 )
Operculum greenish ochraceous to ochraceous without distinct marking; scarcely or not touching posterior margin of sternite II. Anterior margin of operculum narrower than posterior margin. Lateral margin of operculum sinuate at base. Ventral part of abdomen ochraceous with fuscous fasciae along posterior margin of each of sternites III–VI and epipleurites 3–6. Sternite III with a fuscous median spot on anterior margin. Sternite VII with a median spot and a pair of lateral spots, fuscous. Abdominal segment 9 ochraceous dorsally with a pair of longitudinal fuscous lateral markings on about anterior two-thirds. Ovipositor sheath fuscous, slightly beyond anal styles. Dorsal beak about as long as protruding part of ovipositor sheath.
