Pyrops nishiyamai Nagai & Porion, 2002 View in CoL
( Figs 3–4 View Fig View Fig )
Pyrops nishiyamai NAGAI & PORION, 2002: 6 View in CoL [described; compared with P. lautus View in CoL ( Stål, 1870, P. zephyrius ( Schmidt, 1907) View in CoL and P. fumosus ( Baker, 1925) View in CoL ]; pl. 1, fig. 4 [dorsal view of habitus]. Type in EUM.
Pyrops nishiyamai View in CoL – YAP et al., 2017: 4 [listed].
DIAGNOSIS. This species can be separated from all other species of Pyrops by the following combination of characters:
(1) posterior wings bright yellow with narrow black band along apical margin ( Fig. 4 A View Fig );
(2) cephalic process elongate, weakly curved and narrowing from base to mid-length, not widening towards apex in dorsal view ( Fig. 4 A, C, E View Fig );
(3) head brown dorsally and on sides of cephalic process; frons, ventral half of genae and cephalic process ventrally pale yellowish, dorsal part of genae to anteocular carina black ( Fig. 4 A, C, E View Fig );
(4) tegmina green with unclear yellow markings forming poorly defined bands on proximal half; 5–6 large yellow markings in costal area; cells black in a narrow area extending from costal area, along distal margin, to apex of clavus; about 6–7 round yellow spots in distal zone of black cells; 4–5 yellow spots in green portion of distal half ( Fig. 4 A–B View Fig ).
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. The most similar species is P. auratus sp. nov. ( Fig. 1 View Fig ) from which P. nishiyamai differs by its more slender (LPr/BPrH 10.6 = vs 7.56 in P. auratus sp. nov.) and mostly brown cephalic process (mostly green in auratus sp. nov.), the unclear yellow spots on tegmina (yellow transverse bands on tegmina of auratus sp. nov.) and the narrower area with black cells along apical margin. Pyrops philippinus ( Stål, 1870) ( Fig. 8 View Fig ) somewhat resembles P. nishiyamai but can be separated at first glance by the black area of posterior wings covering distal 1/3 (only a narrow black band along apical margin in P. nishiyamai ).
MATERIAL EXAMINED. TYPE MATERIAL. PHILIPPINES, Panay : holotype ♀ (examined from photographs – Fig. 4 View Fig ): [(Philippines) Panay I., 15.IX.1996 ’] [ Pyrops nishiyamai n. sp., Holotype ♀, Nagai - Porion 2002] ( EUM) .
