Description

Body brownish-black. Head brownish-yellow, with pair of small dark brown apical spots (Fig. 1 A and C). Eyes black. Face brownish-yellow, frontoclypeus brownish and anteclypeus centrally brown with black lateral margins (Fig. 1 B and D). Pronotum light brownish (Fig. 1 A and C). Scutellum brownish-yellow, with black basal triangles (Fig. 1 A and C). Forewing beige (Fig. 1 A and B). Abdominal apodemes broad, extended to 4th sternite (Fig. 2 A). Male length 3.7-4.0 mm (including wing).

Diagnosis

Male genitalia. Pygofer lobe with numerous microsetae distributed densely along dorsal and near posterior margin, few fine setae scattered on lateral surface (Fig. 2 B). Pygofer dorsal appendage broadened at base, tapering towards apex (Fig. 2 C). Subgenital plate robust, with three macrosetae near mid-length on lateral surface, several peg-like setae distributed from sub-base to apex; several microsetae scattered on apical portion (Fig. 2 D). Style with two points apically; pre-apical lobe prominent (Fig. 2 E). Aedeagal shaft curved dorsally, with serrated marginal lamellae on shaft; pair of small processes curved mesally gonopore; subapical on ventral surface (Fig. 2 F and G). Connective V-shaped, slender (Fig. 2 H).

Etymology

The new species is named from the Latin word " crispatus ", referring to the serrated marginal lamellae on both sides of shaft apex dorsad (Fig. 2 F and G).

Taxon discussion

This species can be distinguished from other species in this genus by the unique characters of the aedeagus: the aedeagal shaft with serrated marginal lamellae on both sides of apex, pair of small curved processes subapically; short dorsal apodeme and long prearium.
