Allicyrtaspis View in CoL ? phryganis sp. nov.
( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 )
Description. Male. Body small, slim. Fastigium verticis conical, rounded apically and grooved dorsally. Eyes faintly globular, obviously protruding forwards. Apical segment of maxillary palpus strongly longer than subapical one, apex swollen, truncate.
Pronotum slightly long, reaching middle area of second abdominal tergite; anterior margin roughly straight while posterior arc-shaped ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ), metazona somewhat raised ( Fig. 2B View FIGURE 2 ); lateral lobe longer than deep, and posterior area extended ventrally, without humeral sinus ( Fig. 2B View FIGURE 2 ).
Tegmina short, covered by pronotum, visible in lateral view; hind wings absent.
All femora unarmed ventrally, genicular lobes with apices obtuse. Fore coxa with 1 short spine; tibia with 3 long spines and 1 short apical spine respectively on both sides of ventral surface, tibial tympana open on both sides, ovoid. Middle tibia with 4–5 long spines and 1 short apical spine respectively on both sides of ventral surface. Hind tibia with 1 inner and 2 outer short spines on ventral surface as well as 18–20 short spines respectively on both sides of dorsal surface, bearing 2 pairs of ventral apical spurs and 1 pair of dorsal apical spurs.
Tenth abdominal tergite prominently prolonged posteriorly, basal half broad, apical half lateral compressed, slightly robust ( Fig. 2C, H View FIGURE 2 ), ventral surface longitudinal concave in the midline, lateral margins of apical half somewhat expanded outwards; apical area split, lateral angles rounded ( Fig. 2J View FIGURE 2 ). Cercus faintly short, robust at base, inner margin of basal area expanded inwards ( Fig. 2I View FIGURE 2 ) while inner margin of subapical area with 1 process, terminal rounded ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 G–H); subapical area strongly bent inwards and dorsad, compressed, apex subacute ( Fig. 2G View FIGURE 2 ). Genitalia sclerotized, apical area expanded dorsad with margins rolled backward ( Fig. 2J View FIGURE 2 ). Basal half of subgenital plate nearly rectangular, basal margin with an arc-shaped depression ( Fig. 2I View FIGURE 2 ), lateral margin expanded dorsad ( Fig. 2J View FIGURE 2 ); apical half long and slender, rod-shaped, compressed ( Fig. 2C, I View FIGURE 2 ); styli slightly slender, inserted on apical area of subgenital plate.
Female. Pronotum shorter than male, reaching middle part of first abdominal tergite; lateral lobe feebly extended ventrally at metazona ( Fig. 2E View FIGURE 2 ). Lateral margins of ninth abdominal tergite slightly prolonged posteriorly ( Fig. 2F View FIGURE 2 ) and posterior margin arc-shaped ( Fig. 2K View FIGURE 2 ). Tenth abdominal tergite short, gently protruding backwards, posterior margin faintly concave ( Fig. 2K View FIGURE 2 ). Cercus conical, apex somewhat acute. Subgenital plate slightly rectangular, wider than long, lateral margins strongly extended dorsad, posterior margin straight, or faintly concave ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 L–N). Ovipositor robust at base, apical half moderately bent dorsad, ventral valvulae shorter than dorsal ones; dorsal and ventral margins smooth ( Fig. 2F View FIGURE 2 ).
Coloration. Body green when alive, yellowish brown when dried and pinned. Eyes brown. Lateral margins of occiput with 1 yellowish white stripe respectively. Disc of pronotum with 1 somewhat broad longitudinal light brown stripe, lateral margins with 1 longitudinal yellowish brown stripe severally, of which not reaching posterior margin of pronotum. Apical area of male cercus brown. Apices of all third segment of tarsi and claws black brown.

Distribution. China (Guizhou).
Etymology. The name of this new species is derived from apical half of male subgenital plate rod-shaped. Latin “ phrygan ” means rod-shaped.
Discussion. Apical area of male abdomen of this new species is similar to the genus Cyrtopsis, while genicular lobes of hind tibiae with apices obtuse. This new species differs from the known species of the genus Allicyrtaspis in the following: body small, slim; male genitalia short, not surpassing posterior margin of subgenital plate; apical half of subgenital plate rod-shaped, somewhat compressed. There are some differences between the characteristics of this new species and generic diagnosis of the genus Allicyrtaspis , and this new species is temporarily placed in the genus Allicyrtaspis .
