Description
Platypalpus submaculus Raffone
Platypalpus submaculus Raffone, 2002b: 37.
Type material examined. HOLOTYPE Ƌ, labelled: “ITALY—Parma—Riserva naturale Guadine-Pradaccio, 18.VII-7.VIII.2001 legit Lab. Bosco Fontana, Malaisetrap sentiero State Forestry Corps—NRBF coll. / Holotypus Ƌ / Platypalpus submaculus n. sp. det. Raffone G. 2001” [genitalia dissected] (NRBF).
Notes on type material. Holotype is well preserved (only left hind leg missing), stored in ethanol, but during this study was dried and mounted on a card. It is a specimen of P. macula (Zetterstedt). Although Raffone (2002b) described the postpedicel as yellow, it is in fact brown, not much paler than both basal segments.
Remarks. Characters of P. m a c u l a not previously correctly described and specified here include: face lustrous; gena narrow and lustrous; palpus with rather long setae also along its base; katepisternum lustrous up to extreme anterior and posterior margins; postpronotum without strong seta but often with 1–3 setae distinctly longer (but not stronger) than remaining ciliation. Genitalia illustrated by Chvála (1975, figs 274–275), he only overlooked small dorsoapical finger-like projection on left epandrial lamella (correctly recognized by Raffone 2002b); right surstylus long, with broadened basal part and narrower apical part and with small spine-like internal projection on base of narrow part; left cercus with two tips apically, one directed ventrally (in lateral view it looks like crayfish claw).
Platypalpus submaculus is considered a new junior synonym of P. m a c ul a.
