The pronotum bears a pair of dull yellow trifurcate anterior spines and three pairs of dull yellow long spines oriented horizontally. Similarly, the elytron exhibits numerous long and short spines along margins and interstices I, II, IV, VI, and VIII. The male genitalia feature an aedeagus resembling a spatula in dorsal view, appearing almost parallel-sided and uncurved in lateral view. The larvae mine the leaves of  Rubiaceae, particularly  Adina pilulifera . This species resembles  Dactylispa nigrodiscalis Gressitt, 1938, a Chinese species. However, it is differentiated from the latter by the widely separated anterior trifurcate spines of the prothorax and the basally separated first and second lateral spines on the prothorax.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Male (Fig. 18 I – Q). Habitus. The body is 4.6–4.7 mm in length (excluding spines) and is mostly black on the dorsal surface and dull yellow on the ventral surface and head (Fig. 18 I, J). The pronotum is black except for dull yellow margins, spines, and a medial linear area before the posterior margin. The elytra are largely black except for dull yellow margins in the middle.</p><p>Head. The head is broader than the anterior margin of the prothorax, narrowing behind the eyes and with a black, smooth, and shining occiput. The frons is yellowish-brown and rugose, with a small projection between antennal insertions (Fig. 18 M, arrow). The antennae are moderately long, approximately three-quarters of the body length. The segments do not feature spines and are covered with fine short hairs. Segment 1 is the longest among the 11 segments and is slightly curved outward. Segments 1 and 2 are dark brown, whereas segments 3–11 are yellowish brown. Segments 5–11 are slightly thicker than segments 3–4 (Fig. 18 I). The proportional lengths of antennomeres 1–11 are as follows: 1: 0.3: 0.5: 0.5: 0.6: 0.6: 0.6: 0.6: 0.6: 0.6: 0.9.</p><p>Thorax. The pronotum is transverse, measuring 1.6 - fold as wide as long, with rounded sides that are prominently produced and flattened medially (Fig. 18 I). A pair of dull yellow trifurcate spines appears at the anterior margin of the pronotum (Fig. 18 K, M). The two anterior projections share a long common stem and point upward, whereas the posterior projection points diagonally upward and backward, with black apexes. The lateral margin of the pronotum features three long, dull yellow spines pointed horizontally, with the anterior two being longer than the posterior one and located basally on a common stem. The apexes of the anterior two projections are black (Fig. 18 N). The base of the disc features a transverse impression. The disc is granulated and covered with large punctures between the lateral spines, with a dull yellow, impunctate, longitudinal linear depression before the posterior margin along the median line.</p><p>The scutellum is finely granulose and broad but narrow and subangulate posteriorly. The elytra are largely parallel-sided and broadly rounded posteriorly, with distinct rounded punctures on the surface (Fig. 18 I) that are largely black. However, the lateral margins in the middle and apical regions (including spines) are dull yellow. The base of the elytron is wider than the pronotum, with the sides and disc bearing numerous long spines. The lateral margin of the elytron is flattened on each side, featuring 15 or 16 compressed spines, with alternating long and short spines. Each long spine is as long as the first segment of the antenna and slightly curved backward. The apical margin is covered with seven or eight short spines. The elytral interstices are covered with long and short spines (Fig. 18 K, O): interspace I with two short spines, interspace II with four long spines, interspace IV with nine spines of which the fifth and seventh are long, interspace VI with nine spines of which the fifth and seventh are short, and interspace VIII with four spines of which the first and third are long. Punctuation is regular and coarse, with the distance between punctures being smaller than the puncture diameter. The legs are dull yellow and slender.</p><p>Abdomen. The abdomen is dull yellow.</p><p>Genitalia. The aedeagus has a spatula-like appearance in dorsal view, with a poorly sclerotized basal region (Fig. 18 P, Q). It measures 3 - fold longer than its width, appearing almost parallel-sided and narrowed to a rounded apex. It is almost uncurved in lateral view. There are V-shaped phallobase apodeme rings around and keeling the median lobe.</p><p>Female. The body of females is larger than that of males, measuring 4.7–5.1 mm in length.</p><p>Genitalia. The spermatheca is J-shaped and swollen (Fig. 18 R). The cornu is gradually narrowed toward the blunt apex. The ductus spermatheca is thin, exceedingly elongated, and regularly and tightly coiled.</p><p>Pupa. The body is pale brown, elongated, and flattened dorsoventrally (Fig. 18 S). Abdominal segments I – IV feature acuminate bifurcated lateral processes at the apical region, with the ventral process smaller than the dorsal process. The processes of segment IV are significantly enlarged, and the ventral process is particularly thick and projecting diagonally backward, with a hooked tip. Segments V – VII feature bifurcated processes, with greater bifurcation of the ventral processes. Segments VIII and IX are fused, exhibiting two blunt processes apically.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Around Obi, Southern Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.</p><p>Host plants.</p><p>Rubiaceae:  Adina pilulifera (Lam.) .</p><p>Leaf mine.</p><p>Full-depth, linear-blotch mine on mature leaf, often transitioning into a radiate mine (Fig. 18 T – W). The larvae create holes that penetrate the upper and lower layers of the leaf, with frass being discharged outside through the holes. Holes form intermittent lines along the sides of the mine. Larvae sometimes exit the mine and move to another leaf to construct a new mine. Fully grown larvae pupate in the pupation chamber located nearly at the center of the mine, typically on the midrib. The upper layer of the leaf around the chamber remains undamaged and green.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The species name refers to the genus name of the host plant, Adina.</p><p>Japanese name.</p><p>Obi-togehamushi.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Dactylispa exhibits considerable diversity in China (Chen et al. 1961; Chen and Tan 1964). This newly discovered species resembles  Dactylispa nigrodiscalis, a Chinese species, in terms of its habitus, presence of trifurcate anterior spines on the prothorax, arrangement of spines on the elytra (Gressitt 1938), and association with the host plant family ( Rubiaceae). However, it is differentiated from the latter by the presence of a pair of anterior trifurcate spines of the prothorax that are widely separated from each other, with the distance between spines being subequal to the width of the occiput but less than three-quarters of the width in the latter. The first and second lateral spines on the prothorax of the newly identified species branch basally, whereas in  D. nigrodiscalis, the first and second lateral spines on the prothorax share common stems. Moreover, the former is associated with  Adina pilulifera as the host plant species, whereas the latter is associated with  Metadina trichotoma,  Mussaenda pubescens, and  Uncaria rhynchophylla (Yang et al. 2023) . Given that  D. nigrodiscalis belongs to the subgenus  Triplispa (Zhang et al. 2021), this new species is considered a member of  Triplispa .</p><p>This newly discovered species resembles  Dactylispa issikii Chûjô, 1938 in terms of the presence of trifurcate anterior spines on the prothorax. However, it is distinguished from the latter by the presence of yellow spines on the prothorax compared to black in the latter, the presence of a yellow area on the pronotum and elytron compared to a black pronotum and elytron in the latter, completely yellow sternum compared to a dark brown sternum in the latter, more and shorter lateral spines on the elytron, and association with the host plant family  Rubiaceae compared to  Poaceae in the latter.</p><p>Although the new species is similar to  Dactylispa higoniae in terms of habitus, it is distinguished from the latter by the presence of trifurcate anterior spines on the prothorax compared to bifurcate spines in the latter, yellow propleuron and sternum compared to their dark brown color in the latter except along the longitudinal suture, and association with the host plant family  Rubiaceae compared to  Lamiaceae for the latter.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C7C0D40A34205B64AD54F122E904E9B0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The head features a pair of distinctly delimited frontal tubercles that contact each other at postero-inner angles. The inter-antennal area is raised and fusiform. The male genitalia exhibit a laterally uncurved aedeagus. The larva mines the leaves of  Asteraceae plants including  Ixeris japonica,  Lactuca indica, and  Youngia japonica .</p><p>Description.</p><p>Adult male (Fig. 16 K – Q). Habitus. The body is oblong-oval and strongly convex on the dorsal side, measuring 1.8–1.9 mm in length (Fig. 16 K, N). It is reddish brown, with black eyes. The antennae are dark brown, and the four basal segments, pronotum, and elytra are reddish brown (Fig. 16 N).</p><p>Head. The head has a smooth, shiny, impunctate vertex. The frontal tubercles are transverse and posteriorly delimited by a nearly straight, deep, sharp sulcus, with antero-inner and antero-outer angles produced below, well-delimited behind by a sharp furrow, almost contacting each other at postero-inner angles (Fig. 16 O). The inter-antennal area is raised and fusiform, with the diameter of the raised area narrower than that of the antennal socket. The eyes are strongly convex, with their transverse diameter in frontal view being 0.8 - fold wider than the inter-ocular distance. The clypeus has an entire anterior fringe. The antennae are half as long as the body. The proportional lengths of antennomeres 1–11 are as follows: 1: 0.50: 0.38: 0.51: 0.65: 0.65: 0.65: 0.65: 0.69: 0.69: 0.91.</p><p>Thorax. The pronotum is transverse, 1.7 - fold as wide as long, with the widest point located slightly before basal angles, and broadly arched at the posterior margin, with roundly produced anterior angles. The disc is evenly convex, sparsely covered with small punctures and interspaced with smooth and shining areas. The scutellum is rounded and triangular in shape, flat, impunctate, and as long as wide. The elytra are oblong and strongly convex, each measuring 2.1 - fold as long as wide, widest at the basal one-fourth area and then rounded and narrowed toward the apex (Fig. 16 K). The disc is densely covered with 11 partially irregular, longitudinal striae of small punctures. The epipleura are wide at the base, with gradual narrowing and disappearance before the apex. The epipleural disc is impunctate and smooth. The prosternum is narrow with a stout longitudinal carina as wide as the length of the 10 th antennal segment (Fig. 16 L).</p><p>Abdomen. The fifth visible abdominal sternite is densely covered with punctures bearing long hairs and is weakly concave apically, with a dark median longitudinal line. The legs are stout, with the first tarsal segments being moderately enlarged but distinctly narrower than the third segment. The hind legs have significantly enlarged femora.</p><p>Genitalia. (Fig. 16 P, Q) The aedeagus is lanceolate in dorsal view, 3.6 - fold longer than its width, almost parallel-sided, and narrowed to a rounded triangular apex. Slightly curved in lateral view, with the ventral surface almost flat. The ostium is membranous, containing an inverted V-shaped sclerotized area.</p><p>Female. The body is slightly enlarged, ~ 2.0– 2.2 mm in length.</p><p>Genitalia. (Fig. 16 R) The spermatheca is brown and sclerotized, consisting of a proximal swollen receptacle and a distal strongly curved slender pump, with the apex attenuated and curved inward. The receptacle and pump exhibit many transverse wrinkles. The spermathecal duct is proximally sclerotized, connecting to a thin transparent duct. The distal portion of the sclerotized spermathecal duct carries a globular ramus.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>The only known distribution is on Iriomote Island, Japan.</p><p>Host plant.</p><p>Asteraceae:  Ixeris japonica (Burm. f.) (Fig. 16 T – X),  Lactuca indica L.,  Youngia japonica (L.) (Fig. 16 Y, Z).  Ixeris japonica grows on sandy beaches along coral reefs and mangroves (Fig. 16 S).  Lactuca indica and  Y. japonica grow along margins of rice field paddies.</p><p>Leaf mine.</p><p>Full depth linear mines on mature leaf, without crossing, backtracking, or branching (Fig. 16 T – W, Y, Z). Typically, the mine is initiated near the midrib, seldom adjoining other mines. Minute granular frass is linearly deposited along the subcentral line of the mine. Upon reaching maturity, the larva exits the mined leaf in autumn and drops to the ground, where it pupates beneath the soil surface.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The species name refers to the village name of the type locality, which is also the original name of Iriomote Island (Komi).</p><p>Japanese name.</p><p>Komi-tamanomi-hamushi.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This newly identified species resembles asterid-associated  S. balyi in terms of size, habitus, punctuation of elytra, and frontal tubercles of the head. However, it is distinctly differentiated from the latter by the reddish-brown color of the elytra (black in  S. balyi), parallel-sided and dorso-ventrally flattened aedeagus (aedeagus in the latter having lateral constriction in the middle and strongly curved in lateral view; Kimoto and Takizawa 1993: pl. 84, fig. 9), host plant genera ( Ixeris,  Lactuca, and  Youngia vs  Farfugium,  Parasenecio, and  Petasites), and mining pattern without adjoining trajectories (the mine of the latter is characterized by adjoining meandering trajectories; Fig. 16 B, E, I).</p><p>This new species also resembles  Clematis - associated  Sphaeroderma species ( C. unicolor and yellow form of  C. uenoi) in terms of habitus and body color. However, it is distinguished from the latter by the darker color of elytra compared to their yellowish color in  C. unicolor and yellow color in  C. uenoi, a pair of frontal tubercles contacting each other compared to distinct tubercles in the latter (Takizawa 2021: figs 7, 10), and laterally almost uncurved aedeagus of the male genitalia compared to the significantly aedeagus in the latter (Takizawa 2021: figs 12, 15).</p><p>Fifteen species of  Sphaeroderma have been recorded from Taiwan, 13 of which are endemic to the region (Kimoto and Takizawa 1997; Lee 2023). The newly identified species resembles  Sphaeroderma hsui Lee, 2023, a Taiwanese species, in terms of its habitus and small size. However, it can be differentiated from the latter based on its dark brown antennae compared to the yellowish-brown antennae in the latter, transverse frontal tubercle compared to the rounded or subsquare frontal tubercle in the latter, laterally uncurved aedeagus of male genitalia compared to the laterally moderately curved aedeagus in the latter, and a slender spermathecal pump with an apical tubular appendage compared to a short pump without apical appendage in the latter.</p><p>Among 21  Sphaeroderma species recorded from Japan (Takizawa 2021), the following five species have no known host plants (Hayashi et al. 1984; Kimoto and Takizawa 1993):</p><p>Sphaeroderma atrum Jacoby, 1885</p><p>Sphaeroderma kuroashi Kimoto, 2000</p><p>Sphaeroderma morimotoi Chûjô &amp; Ohno, 1964</p><p>Sphaeroderma obscurum Ohno, 1964</p><p>Sphaeroderma rubidum (Graells, 1858)</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/F579D9DAE5145EA186C7552BCB3E8B73	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
