Dolabellopsocus roseusoides Calderón-Martínez, González-Obando & Aldrete, 2014, n. sp.
Description
Dolabellopsocus roseusoides n. sp.
(Figs 51–62)
Diagnosis. Differing from D. roseus Eertmoed, by having two rows of setae on each side of a median longitudinal furrow and by the absence of a median distal projection in the male epiproct. Endophallus without rows of small spike-like teeth.
Description. Male. Color. Head (Fig. 53) creamy, vertex and front brown, postclypeus with brown V-shaped bands, with ends curved outwards. Compound eyes black. Meso- and metathorax brown, thoracic pleura with a brown longitudinal band, legs creamy. Abdomen creamy with brown dorsal subcuticular bands. Hypandrium, clunium and phallosome brown. Wings translucent, pale brown (Figs 51–52), veins pale brown.
Morphology. Ocelli absent. Phallosome (Fig. 55) subtriangular, phallobase membranous, trapeziform, slender apically; parameres lanceolate, sclerotized, narrower distally, bearing pores. Aedeagus tongue-shaped, less sclerotized and visible through external parameres. Clunium with mesal furrow. Hypandrium (Fig. 54) subrectangular, posterior border rounded. Paraprocts (Fig. 56) oval, with a distal marginal protuberance and sensory fields with 29 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct (Fig. 57) subtriangular, almost straight anteriorly, rounded posteriorly, with middle longitudinal glabrous groove, and setal fields on each side of it.

Female. Color. Same as the male.
Morphology. Gonapophyses absent; IX sternum membranous, gonapophysial bar (Fig. 62) with two short, lateral, hook shaped arms. Subgenital plate (Fig. 59) broadly trapeziform, distally rounded. Paraprocts (Fig. 60) oval, with fields of setae as illustrated, sensory fields with 17 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct (Fig. 61) subtriangular, distally rounded, with setal field on distal two thirds.
Measurements: FW: 2600, HW: 1950, F: 700, T: 1125, t1: 390, t2: 140, ctt1: 17, f1: 200, Mx4: 90, IO: 360, D: 100, d: 160, IO/d: 1.25, PO: 1.6.
