Obando, Ranulfo González, García Aldrete, Alfonso N. & Carrejo, Nancy, 2018, New species and records of Cladiopsocus Roesler (Psocodea: ‘ Psocoptera’: Psocomorpha: Cladiopsocidae) from Colombia, Zootaxa 4378 (2), pp. 191-223 : 213-219

Cladiopsocus tukunare n. sp.

( Figs 90–102 )

Diagnosis. Belonging in species group “2”, subgroup 4, in the classification of Eertmoed (1986), but the females do not present the subgenital plaque tri-lobed. Males and females with second and third tarsomeres fused, paraproct tubercle reduced; wings hyaline, without spots and vein s tubs as in C. domesticus (New) , C. iscuande n. sp., C. pancheorum n. sp., and C. altamiraensis n. sp. Differing from them in that the phallosome lacks a median posterior tongue and the paraproctal prong is small and tapered ( Fig. 94 ). The female has the lateral lobes of the gonapophyses large and elongate; spermathecal plate piriform, similar to those in C. distinctus Eertmoed and C. clarus Eertmoed.

Male. Color. Head ( Fig. 92 ) brown, vertex, front and postclypeus dark brown; anteclypeus, labrum, mandibles, labium and maxilla pale brown. Compound eyes dark brown, ocelli hyaline, in a dark brown area. Antennae and maxillary palps pale brown. Pro- and metanotum pale brown, mesonotum brown, thoracic pleura and legs pale brown, tibiae and tarsi darker. Forewing membrane hyaline ( Fig. 90 ); veins pale brown, without brown spots along the veins and at wing margin. Hindwings hyaline, without spots ( Fig. 91 ). Abdomen brown, abdominal segmental rings pale brown, clunium and hypandrium pale brown, clunium with narrow anterior border dark brown; epiproct and paraproct pale brown, paraprocts darker proximally.

Morphology. As in diagnosis plus the following: head vertex emarginate, almost at the same level of the upper margin of the compound eyes ( Fig. 92 ); these large, with interommatidial setae, D is 0.54 the length of the head in front view. Forewings ( Fig. 90 ); membrane pterostigma with setae, without spur veins. Hypandrium semioval, broad, posterior margin emarginate, with medium sized setae and macrosetae ( Fig. 93 ). Phallosome elongate, wide distally, external parameres rounded laterally ( Fig. 94 ); endophallic lobes broad, rounded apically, touching each other along the midline, internal parameres narrow and united posteriorly. Epiproct irregularly polygonal ( Fig. 95 ), slightly angulate posteriorly, with three macrosetae mesally, posterior setal field as illustrated. Paraprocts ( Fig. 96 ) with medium sized setae and macrosetae on long, stout mesal process as illustrated; mesal prong stout, little sclerotized; sensory fields with 15 trichobothria on basal rosettes.

Female. Color. Essentially as in the male; forewings hyaline, without spots as in the males ( Fig. 97 ). Subgenital plate, epiproct, paraprocts and gonapophyses pale brown.

Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head ( Fig. 99 ) with upper border of the compound eyes below the level of the vertex, compound eyes smaller than in the males, with interommatidial setae, D is 0.43 the length of the head in front view, narrower than the interocular distance; forewings as in the male. Subgenital plate broadly trapeziform, with abundant setae ( Fig. 100 ). Gonapophyses ( Fig. 101 ), slender, curved, with macrosetae and abundant setae distally; v2 +3 with a row of ten macrosetae, distal process with microsetae. Epiproct ( Fig. 102 ) elongate, triangular, rounded distally, with three macrosetae mesally, four distal macrosetae and abundant medium sized setae distally, as illustrated. Paraprocts ( Fig. 102 ) triangular, with setae as illustrated, sensory fields with 18 trichobothria on basal rosettes.

Measurements. FW: 2400, HW: 1830, F: 525, T: 925, t1: 350, t2+3: 100, ctt1: 20, f1: 325, f2: 262, f3: 157, Mx4: 160, IO: 260, D: 260, d: 165, IO/d: 1.57; PO: 0.64.
