Shamshev & Grootaert: A review of the genus Stilpon from the Oriental region

upper lobe (Fig. 43) undivided, with markedly developed

surstylar comb. Right surstylus (Fig. 44) moderately large,

sublinear, more or less rounded at apex, lacking spines. Left

cercus unbranched, digitiform, fairly long, lacking spines,

with 1 strong ventral bristle in middle part and 1 thinner

marginal bristle basally. Right cercus consisting of two lobes,

lacking spines; left lobe elongate, somewhat broadened

toward apex; right lobe short, tapered toward apex. Phallus

long, hair-like, curved.

Female. Unknown.

Measurements. – Body length 1.4-1.7 mm, wing length 0.9-

1.2 mm.


Etymology. – “Khorng” (curved) “keun” (upwards) refers to

the fact that the vein r4+5 is strongly curved upward.



Phylogenetic relationships. – The relationships of this species

are unresolved beyond inclusion within the S. divergens

group. Presumably the sister species to S. lekkwar based on

the presence of apical spines on the middle part of the male

left surstylus.

Distribution and seasonal occurrence. – Thailand. Only

known from one locality in Northeast Thailand in the Loei

province. Records are from April till June and one more

record in September.

Diagnosis. – Species with black thorax, fore tibia yellow.

Male: mid femur with 1 short black anteroventral spine just

beyond middle, abdomen with gland-like structures between

tergites 4-3 and 3-2. Halter contrastingly black.

THE RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY 2004

Thorax wholly dark brown. Scutum entirely tomentose.

Postpronotal bristle long, black, inclinate. Dorsocentrals in

multiple rows, complete posteriorly. Acrostichals 2-serial,

complete posteriorly.

Legs with colour pattern: hind femur in apical 2/3 yellowish

brown to brownish, fore tarsomere 5 dark brown, mid and

hind tarsomere 5 pale brown; in darker specimens mid and

hind coxae, mid and hind tibiae and mid femur at apex with

brownish tinge. Hind trochanter lacking spines. Mid femur

(Fig. 45) with 4 yellowish ventral bristles in basal half and

1 short black anteroventral spine just beyond middle. Hind

femur (viewed laterally) evenly thickened toward middle;

with row of 5 long anteroventral bristles in apical part and

some prominent dorsal bristles. Fore tibia lacking prominent

bristles. Mid tibia with rows of ventral spinules in apical half

and 1 longer subapical spinule. Hind tibia unmodified.

Wing (Fig. 46) normally developed, covered with uniform

microtrichia; almost uniformly infuscate, somewhat paler

along posterior margin. Costal vein with ordinary short setulae

on anterior margin. Vein R2+3 about 3 times longer than Rs.

Distance between apices of veins R2+3 and R4+5 about 1.3

times longer than distance between apices of veins R1 and

R2+3. R4+5 and M divergent and evenly arcuate in apical

part. Halter with contrast black, elongate knob and pale yellow

stem.


Abdomen largely pale brown, with segments (except segment

8) weakly sclerotized, segment 8 wholly brown. Segments

1-2 unmodified. Narrow gland-like structures present between

tergites 4-3 and 3-2 (Fig. 80). Tergites 3 and 4 shortened.

Almost all tergites with scattered minute brownish setulae,

tergites 7 and 8 with moderately long bristles. Sternites with

similar setation but sternites 3 and 4 bearing 1 pair of inclinate

bristles.

Hypopygium (Fig. 47) dark brown. Hypandrium with 2 strong

bristles in apical part. Epandrium completely divided. Left

epandrial lamella small, fused to hypandrium, bearing 2 short

bristles in apical part. Left surstylus with upper lobe (Fig.

48) undivided, broadened toward apex, with markedly

developed surstylar comb. Right surstylus (Fig. 49) rather

small, rounded apically, sublinear, lacking spines. Left cercus

unbranched, elongate, digitiform, lacking spines, with 1 long

ventral bristle in middle part and several shorter marginal

bristles basally. Right cercus consisting of two lobes, lacking

spines; left lobe elongate, digitiform, somewhat broadened

toward apex; right lobe small, rounded, with 2 long apical

bristles. Phallus long, hair-like, curved.

Female. In most respects identical to male. Fore tarsomere

5 pale brown, mid and hind tarsomere 5 pale yellow. Mid

femur with yellowish ventral bristles only. Mid tibia lacking

spinules. Halter with pale brownish knob. Abdomen lacking

gland-like structures. Terminalia elongate. Segment 8 stronger

sclerotized than preabdomen. Proximal margin of sternite 8

without 2 anteriorly directed rods. Apex of sternite 8 not

partially separated from base. Sternite 10 uniformly

sclerotized, not fused with ventroapical margin of tergite 8.

Cercus elongate oval, brownish yellow, clothed in setulae of

different length.

Measurements. – Body length 1.5-1.9 mm, wing length 0.9-

1.2 mm.


Etymology. – “Lek” means small in Thai and it refers to the

small size of the species



Phylogenetic relationships. – The relationships of this species

are unresolved beyond inclusion within the S. divergens

group.

Distribution and seasonal occurrence. – Thailand. Known

from one locality in Northeast Thailand. Records mainly in

May, but one record also in December.
