Description.
Head with eyes black with posterior margin pearl white; crown yellow with a dark yellow spot at apex, an adjacent brown spot posteriorly on each side of midline and a brown patch at base of coronal suture (Figs 10-12 View Figures 1–13 ). Face pale yellow, with anteclypeus brown apically; gena whitish yellow (Fig. 13 View Figures 1–13 ). Pronotum semitransparent with brown markings (Fig. 12 View Figures 1–13 ). Scutellum yellow with lateral triangles dark brown (Fig. 12 View Figures 1–13 ). Forewing brownish hyaline with off-white patch in clavus and brochosome region. Abdominal segments dark brown, sternites with yellow hind margins of segments; subgenital plates black apically (Figs 10 View Figures 1–13 , 11 View Figures 1–13 ).
Abdominal apodemes small, not exceeding posterior margin of 3rd sternite (Figs 49 View Figures 45–52 , 58 View Figures 53–59 ).
Male genitalia. Pygofer dorsal appendage tapering and curved ventrad (Figs 45 View Figures 45–52 , 53 View Figures 53–59 ). Subgenital plate with 3 lateral macrosetae in an oblique row slightly basad of midlength (Figs 47 View Figures 45–52 , 54 View Figures 53–59 ). Style apex with two triangular points; preapical lobe well developed (Figs 46 View Figures 45–52 , 57 View Figures 53–59 ). Aedeagal shaft strongly laterally compressed and “C” shaped with apex upturned in lateral view, with two basal processes fused for 2/3 of their length at midlength of ventral margin; preatrium long, with a thorn-like basal projection (Figs 50-51 View Figures 45–52 , 55-56 View Figures 53–59 ). Connective V-shaped with stem reduced (Figs 52 View Figures 45–52 , 59 View Figures 53–59 ).
Measurement.
Body length males 2.9-3.2 mm, females 3.0-3.3 mm.
Specimen examined.
Holotype: ♂, China, Guizhou Prov., Wujiang, 19.V.2017, coll. Chang Han and Bin Yan, on walnut (GUGC). Paratypes: 5♂♂, 7♀♀, same data as holotype on walnut; 50♂♂61♀♀, China, Guizhou Prov., Xiuwen, 19.VII.2017, coll. Chang Han and Bin Yan, on kiwi (GUGC)
Etymology.
The new species name is derived from the Latin words “robustus” and “penis”, and refers to the robust aedeagal shaft in lateral view.
Remarks.
The new species can be distinguished from A. (A.) luojiashangensis Zhang & Song, 2022 by the aedeagus with strongly laterally compressed shaft “C” shaped; the paired basal processes fused for 2/3 of their length like a forked tongue (Figs 50-51 View Figures 45–52 , 55-56 View Figures 53–59 ); and the preatrium with a thorn-like basal projection.
Host.
Actinidia chinensis Planch (kiwi fruit); Juglans regia L. (walnut).
