Penaincisalia culminicola View in CoL
( Figures 1C View Figure 1 , 4 View Figure 4 )
The dorsal colour is iridescent Lobelia Blue ( Figure 1C View Figure 1 ). The scales are uniformly tileshaped with moderately toothed apical margins, with length/width ratio 3/2 (90/ 60 mm) ( Figure 4A View Figure 4 ). We could detect two kinds of scale microstructures.
1. The longitudinal ridges with flutes are low and they merge with straight cross ribs having widely open rectangular microcells. The spaces between cross ribs are 0.5 and 1 mm, and irregular. In the microcells are irregular pepper-pot-like layers, and the trabeculae and the scale membrane can be clearly seen ( Figure 4B View Figure 4 ), but there are some areas which show more regularity ( Figure 4C View Figure 4 ).
2. The longitudinal ridges are high, showing flutes, and they merge with closely set vshaped cross ribs forming rectangular, narrow and almost completely closed microcells. The space between the cross ribs is less than 0.3 mm; their intervals are slightly irregular. Almost every microcell has a single circular nanoscaled opening at the base. Beneath the opening, pepper-pot nanostructures can be clearly seen ( Figure 4D View Figure 4 ).
