Elaphropeza ephippiata Grootaert & Shamshev, 2012, sp. nov.

Elaphropeza ephippiata group

Members of this group are characterised by the following combination of characters: two male genitalic rod-shaped apodemes (ventral and ejaculatory) present (Fig. 119); phallus short; long upturned bristle just above fore coxa absent; abdominal tergites 4 and/or 5 with squamiform setae (rarely absent); abdominal glands present between tergites 4 and 5. Additionally, in species of this group the hind tibia bears usually 1-2 anterodorsal bristles (but with quite numerous exceptions) (Fig. 122), cerci are usually fused to form a single lobe (Fig. 123) and the right surstylus is usually not prominent. In females, sclerites of abdominal segment 8 (Fig. 121) are separated (except in E. feminata sp. nov.) and sternite 8 is folded apically.
