Description

Psocidus strictus Thornton

Psocidus strictus Thornton, 1960: 255.

Material examined (taken by beating): INDONESIA, SUMATRA, West, Kawasan Gunung Cermin, Sangir, cinnamon, 1000m, 1 male, 24.I.1997, ESK.

Remarks: This specimen constitutes the first record of the species from Indonesia.

It was described from Hong Kong. The present single male specimen conforms to P. strictus in that the hypandrium has an unsclerotised apical lobe, with about six small setae and a broadly U-shaped pattern of sclerotisation; the phallosome outer arms are blunt at their anterior ends and have small blunt lateral apophyses; the inner arms are well sclerotised; the ninth tergite has a small projection directed posteriorly.
