Description

Stenus perpauperculus nov.sp. (Figs 46, 52)

Type material: Holotype () and 1 - paratype: TAIWAN: Chiayi Hsien: Alishan, Nat. Scen. Area, Road 18 km 85 + Road to Youth Activation Center, ca. 2000m, forest litter, 11.IV.2006, S. Vít. - HT im MHNG, PT in cP (head in coll Betz, Tübingen).

Description:Asin S. perpauper nov.sp.

Length: 2.5-2.8mm (forebody: 1.4mm).

PM of the HT: HW: 28.5; DE: 14; PW: 21; PL: 21.5; EW: 26.5; EL: 22; SL: 16.

Male: Ventral characters as in S. perpauper. Aedeagus very similar so that of S. perpauper, apical portion of median lobe with a short, rounded, slightly prominent apex, distal portion of expulsion hooks slightly longer; parameres with 10 apical setae.

Female: Ventral characters as in S. perpauper. Spermatheca (fig. 52), infundibulum distinctly longer than in the compared species.

Comparative notes: This new species may be distinguished from S. perpauper by the slightly denser abdominal punctation: on tergite 7 interstices are about as large as punctures or only slightly smaller.

Etymology: Since it is a small inconspicuous species and very near to S. perpauper I name it " perpauperculus " (Lat. = very miserable).
