Leucophenga rugatifolia View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 Q, 6C, 6D, 9K, 25)
Diagnosis. This species is mostly similar to L. gracilenta sp. nov. in having the thorax mostly dark colored ( Figs. 5 View FIGURE 5 E, 5F, 6C, 6D), the wing fuscous along R1 only ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 M, Q), and the color patterns of abdominal tergites in both male ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 D, K) and female, but can be distinguished from the latter by the paramere with a remarkable wrinkle subdorsally and ca. 8 sensilla aligned above ( Fig. 25 View FIGURE 25 C), and the aedeagus slender, acute apically, broadened on posteroventral 1/2, slightly spoon-shaped in lateral view ( Fig. 25 View FIGURE 25 D).
Description. Ocellar triangle dark brown, with ca. 1–3 seta(e) above ocellar setae. Frons yellow to brownish yellow, brown laterally. Pedicel brownish yellow; first flagellomere yellow to brownish yellow. Clypeus and palpus brownish yellow. Mesonotum entirely dark brown to black in male ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 C), brownish yellow, brownish before scutellum in female. Postpronotal lobe brownish in male ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 D), yellow in female. Acrostichal setulae in ca. 12–14 irregular rows ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 C). Scutellum entirely dark brown in male ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 C), entirely brownish in female, yellow at tip in some female. Pleura, katepisternum and meron mostly dark brown in male ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 D), mostly brown in female. Wing ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 Q): Costal vein between R2+3 and R4+5 distally with ca. 4–6 peg-like spinules on ventral surface. Abdominal tergites dark brown ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 K), 2nd tergite with yellow patches submedially and laterally, 3rd tergite with a pair of yellow patches subanteromedially. Male terminalia: Epandrium with ca. 6 setae near posterior margin per side ( Fig. 25 View FIGURE 25 A). Surstylus rounded apically ( Fig. 25 View FIGURE 25 A). Hypandrium with 4 sensilla ( Fig. 25 View FIGURE 25 B).
