Calderón-Martínez, Nadia R., González-Obando, Ranulfo & García Aldrete, Alfonso N., 2014, Descriptions and records of Cladiopsocidae and Dolabellopsocidae (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘ Psocoptera’) from Valle del Cauca and National Natural Park Gorgona, Colombia, Zootaxa 3889 (1), pp. 1-30 : 13-18

Dolabellopsocus roseusoides n. sp.

( Figs 51–62 )

Diagnosis. Differing from D. roseus Eertmoed , by having two rows of setae on each side of a median longitudinal furrow and by the absence of a median distal projection in the male epiproct. Endophallus without rows of small spike-like teeth.

Description. Male. Color. Head ( Fig. 53 ) creamy, vertex and front brown, postclypeus with brown V-shaped bands, with ends curved outwards. Compound eyes black. Meso- and metathorax brown, thoracic pleura with a brown longitudinal band, legs creamy. Abdomen creamy with brown dorsal subcuticular bands. Hypandrium, clunium and phallosome brown. Wings translucent, pale brown ( Figs 51–52 ), veins pale brown.

Morphology. Ocelli absent. Phallosome ( Fig. 55 ) subtriangular, phallobase membranous, trapeziform, slender apically; parameres lanceolate, sclerotized, narrower distally, bearing pores. Aedeagus tongue-shaped, less sclerotized and visible through external parameres. Clunium with mesal furrow. Hypandrium ( Fig. 54 ) subrectangular, posterior border rounded. Paraprocts ( Fig. 56 ) oval, with a distal marginal protuberance and sensory fields with 29 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct ( Fig. 57 ) subtriangular, almost straight anteriorly, rounded posteriorly, with middle longitudinal glabrous groove, and setal fields on each side of it.

Measurements: FW: 3000, HW: 2250, F: 730, T: 1250, t1: 460, t2: 130, ctt1: 19, f1: 600, f2: 390, f3: 320, IO: 250, D: 160, d: 230, IO/d: 1.08, PO: 1.44.

Female. Color. Same as the male.

Morphology. Gonapophyses absent; IX sternum membranous, gonapophysial bar ( Fig. 62 ) with two short, lateral, hook shaped arms. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 59 ) broadly trapeziform, distally rounded. Paraprocts ( Fig. 60 ) oval, with fields of setae as illustrated, sensory fields with 17 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct ( Fig. 61 ) subtriangular, distally rounded, with setal field on distal two thirds.

Measurements: FW: 2600, HW: 1950, F: 700, T: 1125, t1: 390, t2: 140, ctt1: 17, f1: 200, Mx4: 90, IO: 360, D: 100, d: 160, IO/d: 1.25, PO: 1.6.
