Anaphes ( Anaphes) kailashchandrai Anwar & Zeya View in CoL , sp. nov.

( Figures 10–16 View FIGURES 10–14 View FIGURES 15, 16 )

Type material. Holotype ♀ ( ZDAMU, registration No. HYM.CH.827), on slide under 4 coverslips, slide No. MYM.902, labelled: “ INDIA: HIMACHAL PRADESH: Shimla , 2.viii.2014, YPT, Coll. K. Veenakumari.

Paratypes, 3 ♀. INDIA. Same data as holotype ( 1 ♀ with clava of both antennae missing, on slide under 4 cover- slips, slide No. MYM.901, ZDAMU) ; MIZORAM: Aizwal , xi.1993, Coll. S. Singh ( 1 ♀, on slide under 1 coverslip, ZDAMU) . INDONESIA. NORTH SULAWESI, Utara, Dapau Mooat, Ketamobagu , 1300m, v.1985, J.S. Noyes, forest ( 1 ♀ on slide, CNC) .

Diagnosis. Funicle 6-segmented and clava 1-segmented ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 10–14 ); flagellum with fl 2 as long as fl 3, with 1 and 2 mps, respectively ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 10–14 ); head with long seta next to supraorbital trabecula ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 10–14 ); mesosoma with fairly long suberect setae on mesosoma ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 15, 16 ); fore wing narrow and curved, with numerous microtrichia in at least 2 longitudinal rows ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 10–14 , and fig. 7 in Huber (1992)).

Anaphes kailashchandrai has the narrowest and most strongly curved fore wings of any described Anaphes except for the two Australian species A. quinquearticulatus ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 17–19 ) and A. saintpierrei Girault ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 26, 27 ). Females differ from those of A. quinquearticulatus by having 6 funicle segments ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 10–14 ) rather than 5 ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 17–19 ), and from A. saintpierrei females by having fl 2 as long as fl 3 ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 10–14 ) rather than only about half as long as fl 3 ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 26, 27 ).

Description. FEMALE. Holotype body length 610 µm ( paratype 563 µm), both card mounted specimens before slide mounting. Body dark brown. Antenna brown. Fore wing with uniform brown suffusion ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 10–14 ). Head. 1.14× (Indian paratypes 1.10–1.12×) as broad as high. Occiput with very short and straight groove pointing ventrally and in line with supraorbital suture ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 10–14 ). Antenna. Funicle 6-segmented, with 1 mps on fl 1 and 2 mps on fl 2 –fl 6 and fl 2 as long as fl 3 ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 10–14 ); clava unsegmented ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 10–14 ), longer than fl 5 and fl 6 combined, 3.7× (Indian paratype 3.8×) as long as broad, and with 7 mps. Mesosoma. Mesoscutal midlobe with setae fairly long and erect, and near anterior margin; axilla with relatively long, fairly erect seta; second phragma with a shallow median notch ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 15, 16 ). Wings. Fore wing ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 10–14 ) narrow, 13.6× (Indian paratypes 15×) as long as broad, disc with 4–6 uneven rows of microtrichia; longest marginal seta 2.8× (Indian paratypes 2.9–3×) maximum wing width. Hind wing ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 10–14 ) 34.7× (n=2, paratypes 33.9–36×) as long as broad, without microtrichiae on surface between the usual anterior and posterior rows ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 10–14 ); longest marginal seta 5.8× (Indian paratypes 6.7–7.0×) maximum wing width. Legs. Metatarsomere 1 1.17× (Indian paratypes 1.10–1.13×) as long as metatarsomere 2 ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 15, 16 ). Metasoma. Ovipositor 0.75× (Indian paratypes 0.67–0.8×) as long as metatibia length. ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 15, 16 ). Measurements (n=3). Head width/ height, 188–225/170–200. Antennal segments length/width: radicle, 20–23/20–23; scape, 125–163/33–35; pedicel, 45–50/25–28; fl 1, 18–20/15–18; fl 2, 58–68/18–20; fl 3, 63–70/23; fl 4, 63–68/23; fl 5, 60–63/20–25; fl 6, 55–60/20–25; clava (n=2), 140–170/38–45. Mesosoma length, 250–338. Fore wing length/width, 825–975/55–65; longest mar- ginal seta, 163–200. Hind wing length/width, 763–900/23–25; longest marginal seta, 130–175.
