( FIGS 25E View Figure 25 , 26E View Figure 26 , 29 View Figure 29 , 30B View Figure 30 , 32A–D View Figure 32 )
Diagnosis
Labium extending to mesocoxae. Distiflagellomere with a sub-basal whitish band. Membrane brown, with veins paler. Meso- and metafemur with a subapical brown band. Pygophore rounded, anterior margin of dorsal aperture rounded, inner projections elongate, more pronounced posteriorly.
Description ( Fig. 25E View Figure 25 )
Total length 5.22.
Head: Brown, clypeus paler, shiny, coriaceous, with short recumbent and long erect setae dorsally. Head length 1.08, width 0.85. Postocular length 0.43. Eyes not surpassing the dorsal margin of head in lateral view. Ocelli at level of an imaginary line passing the posterior border of eyes. Interocular width 0.40, interocellar width 0.26. Labium pale brown, extending to mesocoxae, with erect setae. Labial segment lengths: I 0.77, II 0.77, III 0.62, and IV 0.29. Antennae pale brown, basiflagellomere distally and distiflagellomere darker, distiflagellomere with a sub-basal whitish band; all segments with abundant short recumbent and sparse short erect setae. Antennal lengths: scape 0.48, pedicel 1.01, basiflagellomere 0.84, and distiflagellomere 1.03. Length of pale band on distiflagellomere 0.22.
Thorax: Anterior pronotal lobe brown, collar and posterior lobe paler, with irregular paler areas, humeral angles with a small whitish spot; collar with punctures delimited posteriorly by a punctate sulcus; anterior and posterior lobes with short recumbent setae and long erect setae on anterior lobe. Pronotum pruinose, punctate, punctures larger on posterior lobe. Collar length 0.08, anterior lobe length 0.51, posteri- or lobe length 0.48; anterior lobe width 0.86, posteri- or lobe width 1.34. Pleurae brown, acetabular areas paler, punctate, with short recumbent setae. Evaporative area extended. Scutellum brown, apex paler, pruinose, punctate, with short recumbent and long erect setae, as on anterior pronotal lobe. Hemelytra pale brown, irregularly pigmented. Costal margin pale on proximal three-quarters, apex of corium darker with a subapical whitish spot and an inner small pale spot; with short recumbent setae; membrane brown with small paler spots between veins, veins paler ( Fig. 25E View Figure 25 ). Legs (left profemur, tibia, and tarsi missing): Coxae, protrochanter, profemur, except distally, and a subapical band on meso- and metafemur brown, remainder of legs pale brown, apex of tibiae, tarsi, and pretarsi darker ( Fig. 26E View Figure 26 ); semi-erect setae longer on profemur. Profemur with spines restricted to apical two-thirds.
Abdomen (glued on card): Brown, with abundant short recumbent setae. Male genitalia: Pygophore ( Fig. 32A, B View Figure 32 ) rounded, anterior margin of dorsal aperture rounded, inner projections elongate, more pronounced posteriorly; slightly declivent posteriorly in lateral view. Parameres: Figure 32 View Figure 32 (C, D). Aedeagus ( Fig. 30B View Figure 30 ): vesica with a patch of spines laterally and with two sclerotizated lobes; processus gonopori long and slender.
