Poeciloterpa latipennis Schmidt, 1920

( Figs 60–73 )

Poeciloterpa latipennis Schmidt, 1920: 45 ; Jacobi, 1927: 550; Lallemand, 1949: 86.

Schmidt (1920) described and provided a general description with few details on the male terminalia. However the male holotype was not dissected. Here, we provide for the first time, the detailed description and illustration of male terminalia ( Figs 67–72 ), with pictures of the type specimen with its labels and preparations ( Figs 60–66 ).

Male terminalia ( Fig. 67 ). In lateral view, pygofer ( Fig. 68 ) dorsal margin longer than ventral margin, dorsal margin undulated, ventral margin almost straight, posterior margin undulated, posterodorsal angle largely rounded and prominent, subgenital plate ( Fig. 72 ) in ventral view diverging from each other, then converging towards their apexes without crossing each other, in lateral view ( Fig. 69 ), dorsal and ventral margin undulating and gradually tapering towards apex, hook shaped at apex with needle like process, covered with hairs in ventral half from base to subapical part, lateral plate roughly ovoid with posterior summit truncated, making sharp apex oriented dorsally, intermediate plate narrow and rounded apically. Paramere ( Fig. 70 ) dorsal margin almost straight, curving just before truncated apex, ventral margin largely rounded, set of very short setae located at middle length of dorsal margin, oriented dorsoposteriorly. Aedeagus ( Fig. 71 ) dorsal margin curving ventrally in a deep and narrow curve then making an open angle at mid length and curving regularly toward ae which is curling largely, tip not sharp and pointing anteriorly, posterior protrusion roughly triangular, hook-shaped with apex pointing ventrally, dorsal length much longer than ventral margin, posteroventral protrusion absent. Ventral margin making round curve in anterior part then undulating vertically toward the posterior protrusion.
