Description

Male (Fig. 7, n = 3 for measurements).

Coloration and general body characteristics as in the genus description. Body length 3.5-3.6 mm. Wing length 2.8-2.8 mm; ratio of length to width 2.6. Sensory organ dorsally on the basal half of mid-tibia elongate oval, 6.1 times longer than wide, length 0.20 that of tibial length.

Terminalia. Tergite 9 rectangular in dorsal view, about 1.5 times as long as wide, curved like a hood in lateral view. Medial protrusion of tergite 10 thin, height approximately 3x width in posterior view, curved posteriad, densely setose on apex and ventral side. Gonocoxites in lateral view with a narrow subsquare outline, with nearly straight ventral margin and posterolateral lobe situated along the ventral edge. Posterolateral lobe of gonocoxite long, slender and evenly tapering, about 4x longer than width at apex, rounded apically, laterally bare for about 2x apical width. Spathulate gonocoxal lobe about five times as long as wide, rounded, with distinctly constricted base, basad of base with a row of 5 long setae. Dorsal branch of gonostylus small, simple, semicircular, laterally setose with some extra long setae. The broad lobe 1 (cf. Fig. 3 f) fan-shaped, carrying 8 blunt setae along rim and 5 normal setae subapically on inner side. The narrow, acute tipped lobe 2 (cf. Fig. 3 f) with a tiny stiff seta subapically; with strong, blunt seta placed at its length to the tip; followed by one short and one long seta in mid-section. Aedeagus 1.5x longer than spathulate gonocoxal lobe in lateral view, evenly broad until apically sharply narrowed downcurved hook; apically with a short spike at the outer side below the curving point; downcurved hook more than twice as long as breadth of base of aedeagus.

Female (Fig. 8, n = 2 for measurements).

Coloration as for male. Body length 3.9-3.9 mm. Wing length 2.9-3.0 mm; ratio of length to width 2.8. Sensory organ dorsally on the basal half of mid-tibia elongate oval, 5.5 times longer than wide, 0.32 times of tibial length.

Terminalia as described for genus. Cercus slightly narrower than in other species, with fewer setae on ventral side. Gonapophysis 8 forming an equilateral triangle in ventral view. Sternite 9 forming a distinct circle in ventral view.

Diagnosis

Coelophthinia loraasi can be distinguished from other species of the genus by the combination of having a narrow, rectangular shape of the gonocoxite as seen in lateral view, with a near straight ventral margin, a narrow and long posteriolateral lobe and a long, narrow and curved medial protrusion of tergite 10. The aedeagus is uniquely shaped with apical hook much longer than the height of the base of aedeagus. The length of the mid-tibial organ is about 1/6 of tibial length.

Etymology

Named in honour of Professor Jostein Lorås, the local biologist who, for many years, has worked hard for and succeeded to protect areas of old growth coniferous forests in Grane Municipality of Nordland County, including those from where the type materials originate.

Distribution

So far known only from northern Norway.
