Description

Manota rectolobata sp. n. (Figs 1B, 1D, 27)

Description. Large species.

Male. Head. Antenna with fourth flagellomere 2.5 times as long as wide (Fig. 1B). Maxillary palpus with third palpomere bearing 3 curved sensilla; fourth palpomere with a parasegment apically.

Thorax. Anterior basalare bare. Laterotergite setose. Episternum 3 with ventral portion setose. Wing. Length 2.4 mm. Membrane with a few setae along posterior margin. Sc bare. CuA2 fading away proximally. Presence of A1 usually indicated by a few setae in a line between CuA and A2.

Terminalia (Figs 1D, 27). Extremely similar to M. planistylus, with differences as follows. Sternite 9 with posterior margin rather straight. Ventro­lateral lobes of gonocoxites subrectangular; interiorly with 1 strong seta on a separate rim. Gonocoxites in position III with 2 megasetae very broad, particularly the dorsal one. Gonostyli in ventral view narrower towards apex, rounded apically; each dorsally along anterior and apical margins with row of up to 10 setae, with three apical setae rather strong; on posterior margin with 1 re­curved seta directed dorsally; next to the re­curved seta with a small lobe directed dorsally.

Diagnostic characters. See under Terminalia.

Etymology. From Latin, rectus, straight, and lobatus, lobed, referring to the outline of the ventro­lateral lobes of the gonostyli.
