Scaphoideus malaisei View in CoL sp. nov.

Figs 125–130 View FIGURES 118 – 130 .

Coloration similar to that of sculptus but the transverse bands on pronotum not very distinctive. Face with a series of six transverse brown stripes on upper part.

Head triangularly produced in front with bluntly angled apex. Vertex shorter than inter­ocular width.

Male genitalia: Pygophore longer than high, caudal lobe rounded. Subgenital plate triangular, elongate, 4 times as long as broad at base, with four long setae near base, three forming an oblique line. Style with well­developed preapical lobe, broad at proximal region, apophysis long, distally narrowed, slightly curved laterally. Connective with stem longer than arms, with a dorsal keel, paraphyses running parallel to each other in proximal half then divergent, in lateral view curved caudo­dorsally, in distal 0.33, with serrated lateral margin subapically. Aedeagus broad at base, shaft narrowed distally with a pair of denticles at apex in dorsal margin, with ventral and lateral furrows, gonopore subapical, dorsal apodeme as long as shaft in lateral aspect.

Measurements: Male 5.50 mm long, 1.37 mm wide across eyes.

Material examined: MYANMAR: Holotype ɗ, N.E. BURMA: Kambaiti, 7000 ft,(2123 m), 18.v.1935, R. Malaise, Brit. Mus., 1935–630 ( BMNH).

Remarks: S. malaisei externally resembles sculptus . It can be readily distinguished from sculptus and other species of Scaphoideus by the structure of the aedeagus.
