Description

Allocapnia indianae Ricker

(Figs. 49-54)

Allocapnia indianae Ricker 1952:162.

Holotype ♀ (Illinois Natural History Survey), creek northwest of Medora, [Jackson Co.], Indiana

Allocapnia indianae: Ross & Ricker, 1971:47.

Material examined. Kentucky: Carter Co., Grassy Creek, Hwy AA9, 3 March 2001, B.C. Kondratieff, R.F. Kirchner, R. E. Zuellig, 152♂, 19♀ (CSUC). Lewis Co., Kinniconick Creek, SE Vanceburg, 3 March 2001, B.C. Kondratieff, R.F. Kirchner, R. E. Zuellig, 11♂ (CSUC). Lincoln Co., Green River, Hwy 698, Jumbo, 3 March 2001, B.C. Kondratieff, R.F. Kirchner, R.E. Zuellig, 3♂ (CSUC).

Male epiproct. Apical segment of upper limb ca. 265- 277 μm long, armed on apical ca. 152-172 μm with dense patch of wave-like spikes (Figs. 49-52); apical segment ca. 100-106 μm wide at base, tapered to a narrow rounded tip. Basal segment of upper limb ca. 257 μm long and ca. 65-67 μm wide at midlength; basal segment with a broad, shallow, median groove. Greatest width of lower limb ca. 176-187 μm; lower limb bears a sparse, marginal row of long setae in apical third (Fig. 49).

Male tergal process. Prominent raised structures on abdominal terga 7 and 8 (Figs. 53-54). Trilobed process of tergum 8 ca. 140-146 μm wide and bearing a broad, shallow median notch, interrupted by median projection. Lobes of process covered with scale-like structures; anterior face of process bears a deep transverse groove (Fig. 53). In lateral aspect, lobes extend vertically as thin discs set on narrow bases. Process of tergum 7 ca. 100 μm wide; similar in structure to 8 th tergal process.
