Diagnosis.
Eadya annleckieae sp. n. can be distinguished from all other members of Eadya by the following combination of characters: Clypeus flanged across ventral margin, without medial tubercles (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ); frons with weak inter-antennal carinae and lateral carina with a faint elevated ridge wrapping around the antennal socket (Fig. 3A, B View Figure 3 ); occipital carina simple (Fig. 3B View Figure 3 ); occiput normal; notaulus wide and rugulose (Fig. 3C View Figure 3 ); scutellar sulcus divided into two distinct foveae with rugulose sculpturing along the posterior margins (Fig. 3C View Figure 3 ); sternaulus rugulose (Fig. 3D View Figure 3 ); propodeum rounded in appearance from lateral angle, without transverse carinae (Fig. 3E View Figure 3 ), and not creating a distinct posterior face when viewed laterally; propodeal spiracle circular; head black except for mandible orange with base black and apex ferruginous, maxillary and labial palp orange (Figs 2A View Figure 2 ; 3A View Figure 3 ), antenna dark brown (Figs 3C View Figure 3 ); pronotum black (Figs 2B View Figure 2 ; 3B View Figure 3 ); propleuron black (Fig. 3D View Figure 3 ); hindwing hyaline with dark brown veins (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 ); legs orange except for hind tibia dark orange with apex black (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ); amino acid sequence (112-118) LRRLTNI (Fig. 15 View Figure 15 ).
Description.
Female. Body length 6.46mm. Ovipositor length 1.72mm.
Color. Head black except for mandible orange with base black and apex ferruginous, maxillary and labial palp orange, and antenna dark brown (Figs 2A View Figure 2 ; 3A, C View Figure 3 ); prothorax black (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ); mesoscutum black (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ); mesopleuron black with the dorsal posterior margin orange (Fig. 3D View Figure 3 ); scutellum black except for the posterior margin directly behind the scutellar sulcus orange (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ); sternum black; metathorax orange (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ); forewing and hindwing hyaline with dark brown veins (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 ); legs orange except for hind tibia dark orange with apex black (Fig. 2A, B View Figure 2 ); abdomen orange except for ovipositor sheath brown (Fig. 2A, B View Figure 2 ).
Head. Clypeus simple, punctate and pubescent, flanged across ventral margin, without medial tubercles (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ); mandibles overlapping, dorsal and ventral teeth of equal length (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ); face densely punctate, pubescent (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ); frons rugulose, with a weak inter-antennal carinae and with lateral carinae with a faint elevated ridge wrapping around the antennal socket (Fig. 3A, B View Figure 3 ); vertex punctate and pubescent (Fig. 3B View Figure 3 ); occipital carina simple (Fig. 3B View Figure 3 ), reaching the hypostomal carina; hypostomal carina simple, not strongly flanged, meeting the mandible at the mandibular condyle; occiput smooth, normal.
Mesosoma. Pronotum exposed in dorsal view, pronope and subpronobe present, covered in rugulose sculpturing (Fig. 3C, D View Figure 3 ); mesoscutum with posterior half of median mesonotal lobe rugulose, a distinct longitudinal carinae extending from the posterior margin to about the middle of the lobe (Figs 2B View Figure 2 ; 3C View Figure 3 ); notaulus wide and rugulose (Figs 2B View Figure 2 ; 3C View Figure 3 ); scutellar sulcus divided into two distinct foveae with rugulose sculpturing along the posterior margins (Figs 2B View Figure 2 ; 3E View Figure 3 ); sternaulus rugulose (Fig. 3D View Figure 3 ); propodeum rugose, covered in setae but not pubescent, rounded in appearance from lateral angle, without transverse carina and not creating a distinct posterior face when viewed laterally (Figs 2A View Figure 2 ; 3D, E View Figure 3 ); propodeal spiracle circular; coxa, trochanter, trochantellus, and femur covered in setae, tibia and tarsus pubescent (Fig. 2A, B View Figure 2 ); tarsal claws simple.
Forewing. r-m sinuous (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 ).
Hindwing. R1a with three hamuli.
Metasoma. Metasomal tergite 1 petiolate, spiracle protruding as a tubercle at about the middle of the segment, dorsal surface smooth, lateral surface punctate with associated setae; ovipositor straight (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ).
Male. Same as female.
Host.
Paropsisterna nobilitata (Erichson, 1842), Paropsisterna variicollis *, Paropsisterna selmani Reid & de Little, 2013, Paropsis charybdis .
Variations.
Paratype with propleuron black except for lateral posterior margin orange; mesoscutum orange except for the median mesonotal lobe black with the anterior margin and lateral mesonotal lobes ferrunginous (Fig. 3C View Figure 3 ); mesopleuron orange except for the sternaulus and ventral margins black; scutellum orange (Fig. 3C, E View Figure 3 ); legs orange except for apex of hind tibia black and hind tarsus with tarsomere 1 yellow and white at apex, tarsomeres 2-4 white, and tarsomere 5 yellow; abdomen orange except for lateral margins of metasomal sternites 3-6 brown, the second and third to last metasomal tergites with two light brown spots near the anterior margin. Some of this variation may be the result of the DNA extraction process.
Diagnostic molecular characters.
Amino acid positions (22-27) MWAGIL; (32-34) SII; (41-46) SRGSLL; (54) R; (67-73) MVMPVIM; (81) I; (90) I; (95-98) MNNM; (104-109) LPSLFI; (112-118) LRRLTNI; (126) I; (133-139) GGRHSGV; (143-144) VA; (150) I; (157) [I or K]; (167-169) FNM; (172-191) NGIAVDRVTLFRWSVKITAF (Fig. 13 View Figure 13 ).
Distribution.
Tasmania.
Etymology.
This species is named in honor of the science fiction author, Ann Leckie by the second author (EB).
Remarks.
This species is referred to as Eadya sp.1 in Peixoto et al. (2018). The UCFC paratype is in poor shape due to the DNA extraction process. The flange of the inter-antennal carinae is difficult to see in the images (Fig. 3A, B View Figure 3 ), but is clear when viewing the specimens, provided the antennae are separated enough.
