Diagnosis
Caledomina dorsospina is distinguished from other species in the genus by the absence of a prominent sternal process of sternite IX, the dorsal branch of the superior appendages is oriented dorsally, and the ventral branch of the superior appendages is drop-shaped.
Etymology
Dorsospina, after the presence of a prominent dorsally oriented megaseta on each superior appendage.
Type material
Holotype
NEW CALEDONIA: ♂, Province Sud, 1.0 km NW of Pont des Japonais , on road between Noumea and Yaté, 22°11.421' S, 166°42.840' E, 114 m, loc #038, Malaise trap, 22 Nov.–4 Dec. 2003, Johanson leg. ( MNHN, DNA voucher: NHRS-GS8 ).
GoogleMapsDescription
WINGS. Fore wing length 3.0 mm, hind wing length 2.3 mm.
GENITALIA. Total length about 0.6 mm. Segment IX divided into pair of strong, antero-dorsally pointed ridges in lateral view ( Fig. 6 View Figs 6–10 ); sternite IX originating from anterior ridge below mid-height; anteriorly membranous, gradually more sclerotized posteriorly, posteriorly forming pair of nearly rectangular plates without postero-dorsal sternal process ( Fig. 6 View Figs 6–10 ); with ventral and lateral setae. Tergite IX almost U-shaped in lateral view ( Fig. 6 View Figs 6–10 ), anterodorsal corners strongly curving anterad and strongly pointed at apex; with long, strong setae in lateral row; in dorsal view ( Fig. 7 View Figs 6–10 ) with anterior-most part fused mesally; posterior part fused into superior appendages. Tergite X not visible ( Fig. 6 View Figs 6–10 ). Superior appendages very large; each divided into posterior dorsal and ventral lobes ( Fig. 6 View Figs 6–10 ), with setae basally of bifurcation ( Figs 6–7 View Figs 6–10 ). Dorsal lobes each with pair of very large megasetae, one at each apex and one sub-apically; mesal, finger-like branches present ventrally of megasetae, with sharp setae at each apex ( Figs 6–7 View Figs 6–10 ). Ventral lobes large, oval, oriented posterad, each with lateral face covered by large setae; mesal face with straight spines oriented mesally; ventral margin with minute setae; ventral branch strongly exceeding dorsal lobe posteriorly ( Fig. 6 View Figs 6–10 ). Inferior appendages completely fused into small, mesal process, connected to central part of sternite IX by well defined sclerotized ridges; dorsal margin smoothly sigmoid; ventral margin convex; apex long, narrow in lateral view ( Fig. 6 View Figs 6–10 ); in ventral view ( Fig. 8 View Figs 6–10 ) with broad basis; narrowing stepwise, apex smooth, bifurcated. Phallic apparatus without processes ( Figs 9–10 View Figs 6–10 ); tubeshaped; posterior two-thirds about twice as thick as anterior part in lateral view ( Fig. 9 View Figs 6–10 ); posterior apex membranous, with minute setae at dorsal membrane.
