Description

3. Laminaris serrata Cao & Dietrich sp. nov.

(Figs 3, 24 i–l)

Description. Ground color white, infused with light brown (specimens preserved in ethanol before examination), eyes grey. Basal triangles of mesonotum black. (Figs 24 i–l)

Anal tube appendage (Fig. 3c) expanded subbasally, apex pointed and curved cephalad.

Pygofer side (Fig. 3b) truncate distally; dorsal appendage (Figs 3b, c) short, not extended to hind margin of lobe, blunt apically. Subgenital plate (Figs 3b, e) with long apical part curved dorsad, with about 5 macrosetae. Style (Figs 3f, g) with apical part straight in dorsal view, directed dorsad in lateral view, middle part relatively long. Connective (Fig. 3h) with length subequal to width. Aedeagal shaft (Figs 3i, j) broad, curved dorsad, dorsal edge with serrate lamella from base to middle, ventral margin with pair of triangular, serrate flanges; preatrium relatively long, region between preatrium and dorsal apodeme wider than base of shaft in caudal view; gonopore central.

Measurement. Male length 3.30–3.40mm.

Material examined. Holotype: ♂, REPUBLIC OF CONGO, Dept. Pool, Iboubikro site, Lesio-Loun Pk, 340m, 03°16.196'S, 015°28.267'E, 05.viii.2008, coll. Braet & Sharkey. Paratypes: 1♂, same data as holotype except 25.viii.2008; 1♂, same data except 18–28.viii.2008; 1♂, same data except 03°16.020'S, 015°31.440'E, 29.viii.2008.

Etymology. The new specific epithet is derived from Latin adjective “ serratus ” which means saw-like, referring to the serrate flanges of the aedeagal shaft.

Diagnosis. The new species is similar to L. tenuis sp. nov., but the pygofer dorsal appendage is wider, the style has a wider apical part, the aedeagal shaft is much broader but shorter, and has three serrate flanges.
