Manota perpusilla View in CoL sp. n.
( Figs. 16A, B View FIGURE 16 )
A smallsized Manota .
Male. Head. Flagellomere 4, Fig. 16B View FIGURE 16 . Maxillary palpus with palpomere 3 bearing 5 apically expanded curved sensilla; palpomere 4 with parasegment. Thorax. Anepisternum setose. Anterior basalare nonsetose. Preepisternum 2 setose. Laterotergite nonsetose. Episternum 3 setose. Wing. Length 1.3 mm. Wing membrane dorsally with few setae at posterior margin. Sc distally of h nonsetose. Possible setae indicating A1 not seen with certainty. Hypopygium ( Fig. 16B View FIGURE 16 ). Sternite 9 large, extending posteriorly to about halfway along ventral length of gonocoxa, laterally sharply delimited, posterior margin with Vshaped notch but not distinctly separated from more posterior membranous part, which has convex margin; setae similar to adjacent ventral setae of gonocoxa. Dorsomesial margin of gonocoxa simple, in position III with broad flat megaseta and long seta, both arising from very long basal body, dorsally of these with similar large body bearing seta (position IV seta), other apical structures simple. Gonostylus elongateoval in ventral outline, with long flattened seta at basomesial angle. Parastylar lobe present, directed obliquely anteriad, with 3 or 4 apical setae. Tegmen short and broad, subtriangular with concave sides, with indistinct lateral shoulders. Setae on sternite 10 apparently in 2 short parallel rows on each half (not clearly visible in single specimen).
Female and preimaginal stages unknown.
Discussion
In M. perpusilla the gonostylus is of the rather common elongateoval type without special modifications. Among these species, M. perpusilla is unique in having a conspicuous long, flattened seta at the basomesial angle. At least on slides, the seta is spiralled, screwlike. In the apical structures of the gonocoxa, M. perpusilla resembles M. duplex in having the position III and IV megasetae/setae on very long basal bodies, the bodies being nearly as long as the setae they bear. M. perpusilla differs from M. duplex , for example, by having one of the position III setae flattened. The two species differ greatly in their parastylar lobe: in M. perpusilla it is directed anteriad, in M. duplex posteriad.
