Diagnosis

Genitalic structures, such as gonocoxites, parameres and ejaculatory apodeme, are conspicuously elongated ( Fig. 3 View Fig A–B), making A. elongata gen. et sp. nov. the most deviant species of Antipodosis gen. nov. Adding to its exceptionality, ventral and dorsal parameres are largely merged with each other,

ejaculatory apodeme, ventral. Scale lines: 0.05 mm. leaving only the extreme apices separated (↓, Fig. 3B View Fig ). The ejaculatory apodeme is three-pointed apically (↓, Fig. 3B View Fig ). The gonostylus, which is strongly flattened, has a fringe of short, thick microtrichia at the broadly rounded apex (↓, Fig. 3A View Fig ).

Etymology

The name elongata , a Latin adjective meaning ‘elongate’, refers to the genitalia of this species.

Other characters

BODY LENGTH. 2.2 mm.

HEAD. Eye bridge 7–8 ommatidia long dorsally. Circumfila on flagellomeres 1–14. Neck of fourth flagellomere 1.5 times longer than node. Palpus 1.6 times longer than height of head.

WING. Length/width 2.9.

LEGS. Acropods missing, so length of empodia unknown.

TERMINALIA ( Fig. 3 View Fig A–B). Ninth tergite broadly rounded posteriorly. Gonocoxites ( Fig. 3A View Fig ): processes small, subtriangular; ventral emargination large, U-shaped, with glabrous rim basally; posterior portions extensively unsclerotized; apodemes merged anteriorly to form subrectangular plate that protrudes clearly beyond ventroanterior gonocoxal margin (↓). Apex of ejaculatory apodeme bent ventrally ( Fig. 3B View Fig ). Parameres directed posteriorly, only apices bent slightly dorsally; apodemes small ( Fig. 3B View Fig ).
