Synonymy.
The illustrations of wonderfully modified male mid tarsi and characteristic genitalia given by Kurahashi and Shinonaga (2009: fig. 1 c–d, 3 a–d) for Lispe forficata suggest it’s conspecifity with Lispe manicata . So, Lispe manicata Wiedemann, 1830 = Lispe forficata Kurahashi & Shinonaga, 2009, syn. n.
The characters of female of Lispe forficata were shortly mentioned by Kurahashi and Shinonaga (2009), but these authors did not compare Lispe forficata with the most related species Lispe glabra and, in my opinion, the diagnostically important characters were either not mentioned or given erroneously. Therefore I find it necessary to provide the description of the female below.
Description of female.
Body length 8.5-9.5 mm.
Head. Interfrontalia matt black; frontal triangle brownish-black, subshining, narrow, reaching to lunula. Upper half of fronto-orbital plates brownish-black, subshining, lower part dirty-golden dusted, 3-4 inclinate, 2 reclinate setae and a dense outer row of setulae. Parafacials densely whitish dusted, entirely bare. Gena whitish dusted, about 1.5 times as wide as postpedicel; occiput grey dusted, but less dusted in upper 1/3. Vibrissae strong. Antennae black, long; arista haired on basal half or slightly more, longest aristal hairs half as long as width of antenna. Palpi entirely yellow.
Thorax. Pleura and dorsolateral area, including postpronotal lobe and notopleuron, densely grey dusted. Disc of scutum mostly subshining brownish-black, with a pair of thinly dusted vittae situated mesad to dc rows, disc of scutellum subshiny brownish-black. ac hairs in 5-6 irregular rows; dc 0+2, only posterior pair strong (hair-like and indistinct posterior prst dc and 1-2 pairs anterior post dc may be found in some specimens); intraalars 0+1, presutural one absent; supraalars 1+2, the posterior one weak. Katepisternal setae 1+2; anepimeron with 9 (8-10) fine hairs, meron and katepimerom bare. Scutellum bare below at apex. Mesothoracic spiracle yellowish. Wings hyaline, slightly brownish infuscated, vein Mdistinctly curved forward at apex, calypters whitish, halteres yellow.
Legs. Legs long, densely grey dusted; black including coxae, but knees and basal half of t2 and t3 brownish-yellow; f1 with a full row of 6 (5-7) pd setae and with a row of fine pv setulae, but in apical half 2-4 setae in pv row are strong (longer than tibial diameter, stronger than setae in pd row); t1 with p seta, preapical d and apical pd and pv; f2 thickened in basal half, f2 with row of 3-5 a-setae in basal 1/3 and 2 pd at apex; t2 with submedian pd; f3 with short av before middle and shorter than setae of ad row, with a full row of ad subequal to femur depth, preapicals: av and pv; t3 with submedian av, ad and pd setae; hind basitarsus with av seta at base.
Abdomen: black with grey pollen. Tergites 1+2 to 5 each with a large blackish spots on dorsal and lateral sides, these spots on tergites 3 and 4 divided at midline by grey dusted interrupted vitta.
Male. Similar to female, but mid tarsi modified: apex of mid basitarsus and 4 apical tarsal segments bright yellow; tar2-2 and tar2-3 enlarged, tar2-4 and tar2-5 strongly enlarged; apex of tar2-1 and tar2-2 with long pd-p setae. Cercal plate as shown on Fig. 12.
