Edmockfordia chiquibulensis Garcia Aldrete, 2009 Figures 12-16

Color

(19 years, three months in 80% ethanol). Essentially as in the male (see García Aldrete 2009). Scape and pedicel brown, flagella pale brown. Legs pale brown.

Morphology.

Wings (Fig. 12), distal labral sensilla and pretarsal claws as in the male (see García Aldrete 2009). Outer cusp of lacinial tip with seven denticles. Labral sclerites joined distally by a sclerotized band (Fig. 13). Subgenital plate (Fig. 15) broad, with field of short setae; pigmented area deeply concave anteriorly; posterior border rounded, a strongly sclerotized, concave band next apex, and a transverse crease anterior to it. Gonapophyses (Fig. 16) complete, v1 slender, about half the length of v2+3, joined to clunium by a membranous band. v2+3 wide based proximally, with a short, pointed “heel”; v3 a well defined, long slender lobe on side of v2, bearing eight setae; distal process almost straight, acuminate, with a field of microsetae proximally. Paraprocts (Fig. 14) broadly semicircular, with setae as illustrated, and a field of microsetae next distal border. Sensory fields elliptic, with 21 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct (Fig. 14) trapeziform, with field of setae on distal half, and three mesal macrosetae next anterior border.
