Description
Concavocorona supercilia sp. n.
(Figs 1–10, 21)
Description. Body length (including forewing): ♂, 8.1–8.3 mm; ♀, 8.5–8.6 mm. The transverse beige patch (Fig. 4) on frontoclypeus large, taking up more than 1/3 area of frontoclypeus, and enclosing a pair of blackish ochreous browlike spots anterad of eyes.
Ventral process of pygofer (Figs 8, 9) silghtly sinuate. Aedeagal (Fig. 6) ventral process in lateral view approximately triangular. Style (Fig. 7), the apodeme apex straight in ventral view, the apophysis is of uniform width and only near apex abruptly narrows to slender pointed process. Other characteristics as shown in Figs 1–10, 21.
Type material. THAILAND: Holotype ♂ (QSBG), Chiang Mai Doi Phahompok NP Doi phaluang, 1149 m, malaise trap, 07–14. II. 2008, Seeson. K. Paratypes: 1♀ (NWAFU), same data as holotype; 1♂ (NWAFU), same data as holotype except collected on 21–28. II. 2008; 1♀ (UIUC), ChiangMai Doi Phahompok NP Doi kewom 1/ montane forest, 2174m, malaise trap, 07–14. II. 2008, Seeson. K.
Remarks. This species is very similar to C. abbreviata (Jacobi), n. comb. externally, but it can be distinguished from the latter by: 1) body larger; 2) anterior margin of crown less sharp (Figs 3, 13); 3) transverse beige patch (Fig. 4) on frontoclypeus large and enclosing pair of blackish ochreous browlike spots (Fig. 14); 4) apophysis of style of uniform width and only near apex abruptly narrowed to slender pointed process (Fig. 7); 5) style apodeme apex straight in ventral view (Fig. 7); 6) aedeagal ventral process approximately triangular in lateral view (Fig. 6).
The specimens examined were previously preserved in alcohol and subsequently point mounted, which may account for some of the differences in coloration noted between this species and C. abbreviata.
Etymology. The specific name refers to the browlike spots of these insects.
