Figs. 49­50 View FIGURE 49 View FIGURE 50

Phylloicus farri Flint, 1968b:56 View in CoL [Type locality: Jamaica, St. Andrew, Hope River near Newcastle at mile post 16.5; NMNH; male; female, larva, pupa, case]. — Denning et al. 1983:188 [type species of Murielia View in CoL ]. — Flint et al. 1999b:73 [returned to Phylloicus View in CoL ].

Phylloicus farri View in CoL is easily recognized by the very long (at least twice length of genital capsule, narrow preanal appendages ( Fig. 49A, B View FIGURE 49 ). The modifications of male tergum IV are also distinctive ( Fig. 49F View FIGURE 49 ).

Adult. Forewing length 7.7­11.3 mm, n = 14.

Head golden brown. Maxillary palps golden brown. Antenna twice forewing length; dark brown, with narrow patches of pale sensilla on anteromesal surface of each flagellomere. Dorsal pterothorax golden brown; ventrolateral thorax golden. Legs golden. Metathoracic leg of male without posterior fringe. Tibial spur formula 2,4,4. Forewing flat; golden brown; with single transverse band; proximal band tan, reaching posterior wing margin, at least 1/2 width of wing; proximal half of basal cells clear. Hind wing basal brush present in male, pale.

Male. Preterminalic abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Corematic structures present. Tergum IV with expanded lateral flanges, mesal coremata and lateral coremata; lateral coremata with basal globose lobes and long tubular posterior lobe; mesal coremata single­lobed, single­lobed, originating broadly from membrane of tergum IV­V. Tergum V without sclerotized modifications ( Fig. 49F View FIGURE 49 ). Sternum VII with short, acute anteromesal process. Sternum VIII similar to anterior sterna, sternum IX not elongate. Tergum IX without mesal ridge; posterior margin not distinct from base of tergum X; notched anteromesally ( Fig. 49B View FIGURE 49 ); lateral ridge absent; dorsal pleural setae approximately 6, ventral pleural setae absent ( Fig. 49A View FIGURE 49 ); sternum IX with paired mesolateral ridges; sternum IX ( Fig. 49C View FIGURE 49 ). Preanal appendage at least 11/2 times length of tergum X, of uniform diameter throughout length, setae long, but not filamentous or longer than appendage ( Fig. 49A, B View FIGURE 49 ). Tergum X without basal lobes; basodorsal process absent; basolateral processes absent; apex, in lateral view, acute, in dorsal view, notched, notch triangular; with short setae basodorsally ( Fig. 49A, B View FIGURE 49 ). Harpago slightly tapered; peglike setae tiny, mesal ( Fig. 49A, C View FIGURE 49 ). Phallotremal sclerites average size, longest dimension less than diameter of phallobase; dorsal sclerite ovoid, in dorsal view horseshoe­shaped ( Fig. 49D, E View FIGURE 49 ).

Female. Abdominal terga I­III dark brown laterally. Preterminal abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Sternum VII with short pointed anteromesal process. Tergum VIII without posterolateral brush; sternum VIII cleft posteromesally to anterior ridge; sternum VIII ( Fig. 50C View FIGURE 50 ). Tergum IX without mesal ridge ( Fig. 50B View FIGURE 50 ). Sternum IX anterior lobes smooth and indistinct, posterior lobes striate, with shallow pockets anterolateral to vaginal opening ( Fig. 50A View FIGURE 50 ). Tergum X appendage longer than mesal lobe, base indistinct, apex triangular; mesal lobe lightly sclerotized; digitate lateral processes absent ( Fig. 50B View FIGURE 50 ). Sternum X with semisclerotized plates marking anal opening ( Fig. 50A View FIGURE 50 ). Vaginal apparatus anterior and posterior sclerites equal in length; anterior sclerite rounded anteriorly, posterolateral projections acute; posterior sclerite triangular; posterior end of spermatheca a sclerotized ring ( Fig. 50A View FIGURE 50 ).
