Hypseloecus katrinae sp. nov.

(Figs. 2 D, 4, 5–7)

Diagnosis. Externally very similar to the preceding species, but this new species can be distinguished by its carmine basic coloration; different color pattern of coxae (Fig. 6, Table 1); and widely reddish femora. The dorsal scalelike setae of all available specimens were probably rubbed off after capture.

Description. Male. COLORATION AND VESTITURE: Body generally carmine or reddish brown. Head reddish maroon, rather shining, with yellow lateral margins along eyes. Antenna uniformly pale or yellowish brown, slender; apex of segment I sometimes tinged with red; segments III and IV dark brown; the former with whitish extreme base. Labium shiny reddish brown. Pronotum carmine, usually widely infuscate; scutellum pale reddish maroon; pleura as in Fig. 6; ostiolar peritreme yellowish white. Hemelytron carmine with a broad dark stripe each on corium and clavus; membrane grayish brown, with pale reddish veins and irregular, pale, semitransparent portion at middle. Coxae as in Table 1. All femora reddish brown, each speckled with pale maculae; all tibiae with rather clear, reddish brown annulations; protibia with an orange-red stripe anteriorly. Abdomen reddish brown or darker. STRUCTURE: As in generic description (see Schuh & Menard, 2011). Genitalia (Fig. 4): Right paramere bulbous. Endosoma J-shaped, long, slender, with a bifurcate process at apical 1/ 3 portion. Female. Similar coloration and structure to male.

Measurements. ♂/♀: Total body length 2.0−2.2/ 2.3−2.5; length from apex of clypeus to cuneal fracture 1.71−1.73/ 1.88−1.90; width of head across eyes 0.85−0.87/ 0.91−0.93; head height 0.52−0.57/ 0.56−0.57; width of vertex 0.46−0.47/ 0.48−0.50; lengths of antennal segments I −IV 0.19−0.20, 0.68−0.70, 0.36−0.38, 0.48−0.50/ 0.20−0.21, 0.69−0.75, 0.38−0.40, 0.48−0.50; basal width of pronotum 0.99−1.00/ 1.05−1.08; maximum width across hemelytron 1.20−1.22/ 1.38−1.43; and length of metatibia 1.14−1.17/ 1.21−1.26.

Etymology. Named after Katrina Menard who greatly contributed to clarification of our knowledge of Hypseloecus, and also supported the present study.

Biology. All available specimens were collected from Scurrula species growing from Homonoia riparia Lour.
