Description
Beltrana reticulata gen. et sp. nov.
urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 2F33353D-4741-476E-B6A8-FA2F74B33A35
Figs 1, 6A–B
DiagnosisPygofer (Fig. 1F) with apex distinctly truncated, ventral margin expanded posteroventrally, forming subquadrate lobe; in dorsal view (Fig. 1G), with small preapical inner lobe. Subgenital plate (Fig. 1F, H) with small sclerotized dorsal tooth near apex. Style (Fig. 1I–J) with knob-shaped apex bearing numerous denticles. Aedeagus (Fig. 1K–L) with pair of short and acute apical processes.
EtymologyThe specific epithet alludes to the reticulated venation of forewing (Fig. 1D).
Material examinedHolotype FRENCH GUIANA • ♂; French Guiana, Kaw Mountain Reserve, 0.5 km Rt. Rd. de Kaw, the hole; 1 Feb. 2008; H. Romack leg.; DNA voucher Entomologia, DZRJ ENT 2812; USNM.
Paratype FRENCH GUIANA • 1 ♂; same collection data as for holotype; DZRJ-AUCH #249; DZRJ.
DescriptionMEASUREMENTS. Total length: male 12.3–12.5 mm (n =2).
COLORATION. Yellow (Fig. 6A–B). Crown (Fig. 1A) mostly orange, anterior and posterior margins yellow; ocelli yellow. Pronotum (Fig. 1A) with anterior three-fourths yellow and posterior fourth dark yellow. Forewing (Fig. 1D) yellow, translucent, with dark yellow venation. Legs (Fig. 6B) yellow.
HEAD AND THORAX. External morphological characters as in generic description.
MALE TERMINALIA. Sternite VIII (Fig. 1E) subrectangular, about 1.5 times as wide as long; lateral margins slightly rounded; posterior margin rectilinear. Pygofer in lateral view (Fig. 1F) trapezoidal, length approximately twice maximum height; apex distinctly truncated; macrosetae distributed only near apex, presence of few short and robust setae near apex; ventral margin expanded posteroventrally, forming subquadrate lobe; in dorsal view (Fig. 1G), with small preapical inner lobe. Subgenital plate in lateral view (Fig. 1F) not produced posteriorly as far as pygofer apex; in ventral view (Fig. 1H), subtriangular, basal half of external margin expanded laterally, bearing short setae on apical half; apical half narrowing progressively towards apex; internal margin sinuous; dorsal surface with small, sclerotized tooth near apex; apex rounded. Connective (Fig. 1I) approximately three-fifths of length of style; arms broad. Style (Fig. 1I), in dorsal view, with apodeme very short, spatulate, and strongly flattened laterally; apophysis elongated, flattened laterally; dorsal margin expanded laterally, forming preapical lamella; in lateral view (Fig. 1J), outer lobe indistinct; apex sclerotized, knob-shaped, with numerous small lateral and ventral denticles. Aedeagus (Fig. 1K–L) with preatrium reduced; dorsal apodeme developed dorsally, not expanded laterally; shaft tubular and very elongated, curved anteriorly; apex with pair of short and acute processes directed dorsally.
FEMALE TERMINALIA. Female unknown.
