Harveycapsus View in CoL gen. nov.
Etymology. This genus is named after the eminent Western Australian Museum arachnologist, Dr Mark Harvey, who discovered this new taxon.
Type species. Harveycapsus dimorpha Cassis, Symonds and Tatarnic , by original designation.
Diagnosis. Harveycapsus is recognised by the following combination of characters: male macropterous ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 a); female staphylinoid ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 b); genae elongate, head conelike ( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1 a & b); female head strongly vertical ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 b); female eyes substylate ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 b); male pygophore greatly enlarged; right paramere clubshaped ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 b); left paramere L-shaped ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 c); aedeagus with three elongate, serrate endosomal spicules ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 f); female opening of vestibulum symmetrical, sclerotised ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 a); and, posterior wall with apically serrate inter-ramal lobes ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 b).
Description. Male macropterous ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 a); female staphylinoid ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 b).
STRUCTURE. Male. Head: short, transverse, strongly projected anteroventrally; clypeus rounded; genae elongate; head conelike; frons convex; eyes large, reniform, contiguous with the anterior margin of pronotum, extending beyond the anterolateral angles of pronotum to bucculae; bucculae arcuate, reaching midpoint of gula. Antennae: antennifers subcontiguous with anteroventral margin of eyes; AI elongate, subequal to interocular distance, cylindrical; AII cylindrical, elongate, longer than posterior width of pronotum; AIII little shorter than AII; AIV subequal in length to AI. Pronotum: subtrapezoidal, short, strongly transverse; lateral angles moderately divergent, ca. 45˚; callosite region weakly demarcated, shallowly depressed along midline; weak thin flat collar; calli oval, weakly concave above remainder of callosite region; posterior margin rectilinear. Mesoscutum: barely visible. Scutellum : weakly convex. Thoracic pleura: metathoracic spiracle visible, bounded by evaporative bodies; metathoracic gland moderately developed, peritreme linear. Hemelytra: elongate, parallel-sided, extending well beyond pygophore; pygophore terminating at apex of cuneus; clavus weakly convex, with a weak longitudinal fold; median flexion line short, ca. 1/3rd length of corium; cuneus moderately elongate; two membrane cells, minor cell moderately large, apex of vein evenly rounded. Legs: femora fusiform; tibiae cylindrical; tarsi elongate; pretarsal pulvilli absent. Male genitalia: pygophore greatly enlarged, genital opening dorsocaudal, cuplike sclerite extending caudad beyond ventral margin of pygophore, without tergal processes ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 a); parameres asymmetrical, right paramere club-shaped ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 b), left paramere L-shaped ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 c); phallotheca simple, dorsally open near base, margins medially contiguous more distally, slitlike and oriented to right hand side ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 d & e); aedeagus with three elongate, moderately serrate endosomal spicules ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 f).
Female. Staphylinoid, forewing greatly shortened, strongly sclerotised, tegminalike; hindwings absent. Head: short, transverse, strongly projected anterolaterally; clypeus rounded; genae greatly expanded; vertex concave, midline sulcate; eyes substylate, small, extending well beyond anterolateral angles of pronotum. Female genitalia: dorsal and ventral labiate plates without denticulate texture, sclerotized rings thin, incomplete, weakly twisted ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 a); opening of vestibulum sclerotized, symmetrical and apparently incomplete medially ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 a); inter-ramal sclerite broadly denticulate ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 b); medial process of inter-ramal sclerite partially developed ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 b); inter-ramal lobes present, short, narrow, with apices serrate ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 b).
