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.
