Leucophenga latipenis View in CoL sp. nov.

( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 N, 5G, 5H, 9E, 9F, 22)

Diagnosis. This species resembles L. acuticauda sp. nov. in having the wing fuscous along R1 and costa ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 H, N), the color patterns of abdominal tergites in both male ( Figs. 8 View FIGURE 8 H, 9E) and female ( Figs. 8 View FIGURE 8 I, 9F), and the surstylus acute apically ( Figs. 16 View FIGURE 16 , 22 View FIGURE 22 A), but can be distinguished from the latter by the aedeagus thick, obviously broadened distally, with a small acute projection distodorsally ( Fig. 22 View FIGURE 22 D).

Description. Ocellar triangle dark brown, with ca. 2–3 setae above ocellar setae. Frons brownish in male, yellow to brownish in female, both with an indistinct, brown, longitudinal stripe medially. Pedicel brownish; first flagellomere yellowish. Clypeus brown. Palpus brownish. Mesonotum entirely dark brown in male ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 G), brownish yellow, brownish before scutellum in female. Postpronotal lobe yellow ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 H). Acrostichal setulae in ca. 8–10 irregular rows ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 G). Scutellum entirely dark brown ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 G). Pleura and katepisternum mostly brown above ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 H). Meron mostly brown above in male ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 H), brownish above in female. Wing ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 N): Costal vein between R2+3 and R4+5 distally with ca. 4–6 peg-like spinules on ventral surface. Midleg obviously brown on knees. Abdominal tergites mostly black in male ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 E), entirely dark brown in female ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 F). Male terminalia: Epandrium with ca. 3 setae near posterior margin per side ( Fig. 22 View FIGURE 22 A). Paramere with ca. 2 sensilla submedially ( Fig. 22 View FIGURE 22 C).
