6. Kapsa (Rigida) furcata Cao & Zhang View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs 2a–d View FIGURE 2. a – d , 10 View FIGURE 10 )
Description. Body ( Fig. 2a, b View FIGURE 2. a – d ) brown, forewing light brownish, brochosome filed yellow, clavus brown. Coronal suture ( Fig. 2c View FIGURE 2. a – d ) distinct, exceeding midlength of vertex. Face ( Fig. 2d View FIGURE 2. a – d ) flattened in lateral view, relatively short.
Abdominal apodemes ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 c) small, not extending to hind margin of 3rd sternite. Anal tube appendage ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 d, e) slim and long.
Pygofer dorsal appendage ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 d, e) short, tapering apically, curved ventrad. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 d, g) with 6 macrosetae laterally, basal stout microsetae and apical rigid microsetae forming continuous row laterally. Paramere ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 h) resembling that of K. aculeiformis sp. nov., but apical branch as long as the basal one, preapical lobe small. Connective ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 i) with lateral arms long, manubrium short. Aedeagal shaft ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 j, k) compressed laterally, ventral process slender and short, approximately half length of aedeagal shaft; gonopore terminal, ventral.
Measurement. Body length: male 3.3mm.
Material examined. Holotype: 3, China: Tibet, Milin, 2950m, 5 vi 1978, coll. Li Fasheng.
Remarks. This species is similar to K. simlensis Dworakowska, Nagaich & Singh , but has the apex of the paramere forked, the connective narrower, the aedeagal shaft curved ventrally and the preatrial process much shorter.
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin word “furcatus”, referring to the forked apex of the paramere.
