Hiranetis vanderheydeni sp. nov.

( Figs. 6-43 )

Notes. As commented above, in the former Entomological Collection of the MNRJ, among specimens of wasp-mimicking Harpactorini ( Fig. 1 ), there were a lot of specimens belonging to Hiranetis identified [wrongly] as Hiranetis coleopteroides , actually a junior synonym of Graptocleptes bicolor ( Gil-Santana et al. 2013) , which in most part were in fact specimens of the new species described here. One of these specimens was photographed separately by the author ( Figs. 2-5 ), supporting this assertive. Unfortunately, because all these specimen were destroyed ( Escobar 2018), they were not included in the present study.

Type material. BRAZIL, Minas Gerais, Juiz de Fora Municipality , iii. 1997, J. da Silva leg. 1 male holotype, 2 male paratypes, 6 female paratypes ; Rio de Janeiro, Cachoeiras de Macacu Municipality , xii.1995, 1 male paratype, N. Tangerini leg. ; Nova Friburgo Municipality , 1 female paratype. Etymology. The new species is named in honor of the German entomologist Torsten van der Heyden because of his valuable contributions to the knowledge of Heteroptera .

Diagnosis. The new species most closely resembles Hiranetis atra , both of which with a general blackish coloration and yellowish submedian anulli on middle and hind femora. However, while the adults of H. atra have the hemelytron completely blackish, those of H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. have a conspicuous yellowish spot on external and mid-distal portion of corium, reaching adjacent part of membrane, especially in basal portion of distal cell of membrane. The males of both species may be easily separated by their male genitalia. The apex of the pygophore of H. atra is subtriangular, while that of H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. has an almost straight margin, in which the median portion is globose and subhemispherical and the lateral angles are prominently acute. In the phallus, the basal plate arms are more elongated in H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. and the dorsal phallothecal sclerite (dps) is very different between them. While the dps is weakly sclerotized, flat, suboval in shape, with apical margin almost transverse and straight in H. atra , it is quite sclerotized, less flattened, triangular, with lateral margins thickened and covered by numerous thin sclerotizations in H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. and acutely shaped at apex. Additionally, while in H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. the arms of the struts are separated only basally, becoming enlarged and completely fused, tapering apically, forming an arrow shaped structure, the arms of the struts of H. atra are parallel and expanded at apex, forming a pair of assymetrical suboval/subsquared structures.

Abdomen: elongate; spiracles rounded; sternites with shiny integument and sparse long thin setae, which are light on reddish portions and dark on the blackish segments, and thicker, longer and more numerous on parts adjacent to genitalia and on the latter too. Patches of minute, short, adpressed, thin, whitish setae present on basal half of midlateral portions of sternites III, IV and sometimes V; these setae are frequently covered with a variable amount of white wax. On sternite III the patch is small and subrounded; on sternite IV and V (when present), larger and elongated. Abdominal segment VIII completely concealed, blackish and sclerotized only on ventral face, which is subrectangular, with a small rounded prominence on median portion of posteroventral margin in one individual, and a small prolongation on basal portion, directed dorsad; dorsal portion entirely membranous and narrower; spiracles on dorsal margin of ventral portion. Male genitalia ( Figs. 13-33 ): pygophore (py) blackish, suboval in ventral view, with an enlarged apex in which the posterior margin is almost straight, slightly curved laterally, its median portion globose and subhemispherical, and lateral angles prominently acute and slightly curved ( Figs. 14, 16-17 ); between an terior and posterior genital openings, a very well sclerotized dorsal (transverse) bridge (db) with a conspicuous median rounded dorsal prominence ( Fig. 17 ); proctiger (pt), enlarged toward its apex, posterior margin curved ( Fig. 17 ); exposed surface of pygophore with long, thick and dark setae ventrally; these setae are somewhat more numerous on apicolateral portions ( Figs. 13-14, 16-17 ). Parameres (pa) symmetrical ( Figs. 14, 16-17 ), rod-like in shape, somewhat curved ( Fig. 18 ); apices rounded, somewhat thickened, mostly blackish; glabrous in basal two-thirds and with long, stout, dark setae in apical third ( Figs. 16-18 ); those setae at apicomedial margins even longer ( Fig. 18 ). Phallus elongated; articulatory apparatus with long and narrow basal plate arms (bpa); basal plate bridge (bpb) narrow, shorter than basal plate arms; pedicel (pd) moderately short, slightly converging towards apex, sclerotized ( Figs. 19-24 ). Dorsal phallothecal sclerite (dps) triangular in shape, sclerotized, with lateral margins thickened and covered by numerous thin sclerotizations, acute apically ( Figs. 22 , 25 ); struts (st) with curved lateral arms and subparallel somewhat curved median arms basally, all of them becoming completely fused and enlarged at approximately distal two-thirds, tapering apically, forming a very conspicuous arrow shaped structure ( Figs. 22 , 25 ). Endosoma wall smooth on basal half, becoming progressively more densely, minutely, spiny towards apex, with a subapical pair of prominent spiny subrounded to subtriangular lobes (sa) ( Figs. 19-22 , 26-29, 33 ), The following endosomal processes were observed: - a larger U-shaped basal process (u) formed by diffuse thickening and distal double curved elongated arms (ca) ( Figs. 19 , 21-22 , 26-28 ); - a median subhemispherical process (m), situated between the lateral arms of the U-shaped basal process, formed by a dense grouping of small thickenings ( Figs. 19 , 21-22 , 26-28 ); - A pair of elongate, parallel, flat, median and weakly sclerotized processes (fp), wrapped in large smooth thin portion of endosoma wall (with fine longitudinal grooves) ( Figs. 19 , 21-22 , 29-31 ), continuous with a larger lateral portion of endosoma (lp) ( Figs. 19-22 , 29-30, 32 ). The basal portion of these processes (fp) and the lateral portions (lp) lie apically in relation to the phallus and is connected largely basally by endosoma wall to the phallosoma ( Figs. 19-20 ), forming a basal connection (bc) ( Figs. 20 , 29 ) and apically by a large thin membrane to the ventral portion of dorsal phallothecal sclerite, named here as a distal connection (dc) ( Figs. 19-20 , 29 ). When the latter connecting membrane is ruptured to achieve a complete expansion of the phallus, the set of flat processes (fp) and the lateral portion of endosoma (lp) was positioned near the subapical portion of phallus, partially connected to it ( Figs. 29-30 ), or remained connected at median portion of the phallosoma as separated structures ( Figs. 21-22 , 28 , 31-32 ).

Female. ( Figs 34-43 ). Measurements are given in Tab. 2. Similar to male, with the same general coloration or in some specimens with some variation such as: neck sometimes variably paler, dark reddish to bright reddish ( Fig. 36 ); reddish tones on coloration variably and ill defined on fore lobe of pronotoum, pleura, sterna and ventral portion of coxae ( Fig. 36 ); disc of scutellum and/or apex variably paler, reddish brown in some specimens. Fore femora completely blackish in one individual, their dorsal surface faintly paler on a submedian narrow basal marking and on distal dorsal portion in four paratypes, almost completely faintly paler in one paratype and in other paratype, pale dorsal portion of femur is brighter. In the latter paratype, the hind femur has an additional smaller and faint yellowish annulus, betweeen the base of the segment and the median annulus ( Fig. 39 ). While the larger annulus, located at median position, was approximately 1/6 as long as the segment, the additional faint basal annuli, measured approximately 1/16 as long as the segment and located somewhat closer to the median annulli than to the base of the femur ( Fig. 39 ). First flagellomere not thickened in basal half. External genitalia ( Figs. 42-43 ): blackish; tergite 9 with very long, sparse, strong blackish setae; paired gonoplac (g) and posterior margin of first gonapophysis (fg) with strong shorter setae.

Distribution. Brazil, in states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro.

la pared del endosoma. Comments. Because two previous mistakes involving the taxonomy of species of Neotropical Harpactorini with similar general aposematic coloration, i.e., 1 - the description of Reduvius coleopteroides Walker, 1873 , in spite that it had already been described before as Graptocleptes bicolor (Burmeister, 1838) and, 2 – the unjustified transference of R. coleopteroides to Hiranetis in a new combination, H. coleopteroides by Distant (1903), resulted in the fact that further authors wrongly identified an undescribed species of Hiranetis as H. coleopteroides (e.g., Figs. 2-5 ). Gil-Santana et al. (2013) clarified the actual status of H. coleopteroides by showing that it is in fact a junior synonym of Graptocleptes bicolor (Burmeister, 1838) . After all, this species of Hiranetis is finally described as H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. here.

The slight variation in color recorded among the specimens of H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. studied here is considered as intra-specific variability. It is in accordance with the intraspecific variation in color, occasionally at extreme range, previously documented in many harpactorines (e.g., Stål 1872; Champion 1899; Gil-Santana 2008, 2022; Zhang et al. 2016), including in some wasp-mimicking Harpactorini ( Champion 1899; Gil-Santana et al. 2013, 2017; Gil-Santana and Oliveira 2023). On the other hand, about this subject, although females showed more examples of such differences, it is quite probably that it was recorded on them because more females were examined and not due to sexual dimorphism in coloration. Although the first flagellomere of the males have showed to be slightly thicker than those of the females ( Tab. 1), the difference is not remarkable as recorded in other harpactorines and may remain unnoticed because of the small difference between both sexes, while the eyes did not show differences between male and females. The few males were slightly smaller than the females ( Tabs. 1, 2), while the antennal pedicel was longer in the females ( Tabs. 1, 2); some of the females showed larger abdomens, which is common in females in general. In regard to vestiture, no differences were noted too. However, more specimens are in need to be examined in the future to ascertain if the few differences commented above are due to sexual dimorphism or interindividual variation.

Therefore, size of eyes, and thickness of the first flagellomere were not clear-cut enough to be considered as sexually dimorphic in H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. Despite the small number of measurements obtained for males ( Tab. 1), it seemed enough to state that, unlike many other Harpactorini , adults of H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. can not be sexed readily with the naked eye, by observing these two traits.

The wax-like substance was sometimes absent from portions where it was observed on other specimens (e.g., Figs. 40-41 ). It may be lost during the manipulation of the individuals, which may also include loss of the thin fragile short pale setae associated with it ( Gil-Santana et al. 2017; Gil-Santana and Oliveira 2023). Body parts covered with patches of setae with whitish wax-like material have been registered by several authors in some Harpactorini species, as summarized by Gil-Santana et al. (2017) and Gil-Santana and Oliveira (2023). It is noteworthy that the wax-like substance or the fragile white groupings of setae may be absent when specimens are examined and described, and thus the extent of their existence may remain unknown ( Gil-Santana et al. 2017). Similarly, records of the presence or absence of these elements (groupings of whitish short setae and/or white wax), separately or together, may reveal as being additional features of systematic or taxonomic importance, in the same way as suggested for the “extensive sericeous areas on the abdominal sterna” of Heza ventralis Stål, 1872 ( Maldonado 1976). Therefore, as stressed by Gil-Santana et al. (2017), future studies on Harpactorini should include careful handling of the specimens after collection, to avoid unintentional removal of these elements from their bodies. It is also recommended that this information should be included in the records and/or descriptions whenever present.

The male genitalia of H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. ( Figs. 13-33 ) showed similarities to those of G. bicolor ( Gil-Santana et al. 2013) , H. atra ( Gil-Santana 2016) , P. salgadoi ( Gil-Santana et al. 2017) and, Q. maracristinae ( Gil-Santana and Oliveira 2023) , such as: - parameres similar in shape and somewhat similar in vestiture ( Figs. 13-18 ); - pedicel (pd) (= basal plate extension) short ( Figs. 19-24 ); - struts with subparallel median arms and curved basal lateral arms ( Figs. 22 , 25 ), although with different shapes in each species; - a pair of elongate, parallel, flat, weakly sclerotized endosomal processes (fp) ( Figs. 19 , 21-22 , 29-31 ), although with different locations and shapes in each of these species. It is noteworthy that in most cited species such processes were recorded in the same position of the phallus, while in G. bicolor these processes were also recorded in different positions among diverse specimens; - a basal U-shaped and a median subspherical endosomal processes ( Figs. 19 , 21-22 , 26-28 ) were recorded in H. atra , P. salgadoi and Q. maracristinae . In all these species, however, the distal double curved elongated arms of the former process, as recorded in H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. ( Figs. 22 , 27-28 ), were not present. Yet, variable, different, or not well evident spiny lobes or portions of endosoma wall were recorded in each of these species, making their comparison difficult. The apex of the pygophore is subtriangular in shape in G. bicolor and H. atra , and enlarged and arrow-shaped, with the lateral margins acutely pointed in P. salgadoi and Q. maracristinae , while in H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. is quite diverse, since the posterior margin is almost straight, slightly curved laterally, with a globose and subhemispherical median portion and lateral angles prominently acute and slightly curved ( Figs. 14, 16, 17 ). The most remarkable differences, however, were found among the general shape and peculiarities of the dorsal phallothecal sclerite ( Figs. 19-22 , 25 ), which were quite different in all species ( Gil-Santana et al. 2013, 2017; Gil-Santana 2016; Gil-Santana and Oliveira 2023).

Thus, in agreement with previous studies ( Elkins 1954a, b; Hart 1975, 1986, 1987; Zhang et al. 2016), the features of the male genitalia of H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. that should especially be taken into consideration for comparative purposes are the shape of apex of the pygophore ( Figs. 14, 16, 17 ) and the features of the dorsal phallothecal sclerite ( Figs. 22 , 25 ).

A female of H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. from Nova Friburgo municipality was found to have an egg of Phasiinae ( Diptera : Tachinidae ) on latero-distal portion of distal sternites ( Fig. 41 ). This record is similar to the observation of the finding of similar eggs on the bodies of other species of Harpactorinae species of the same municipality, one of which proven to be associated to the parasitoidism by a female of Xanthomelanodes cf. brasiliensis ( Gil-Santana and Forero 2010; Gil-Santana and Dios 2023). Therefore, future observations may clarify if H. vanderheydeni sp. nov. is another host of Phasiinae ( Tachinidae ) in Neotropical region.
