Colletes yanruae Niu, Zhu & Kuhlmann, 2013 ( Figs 2–11 View Figures 2–7 View Figures 8–11 )
Colletes yanruae Niu, Zhu & Kuhlmann, In : Niu et al., 2013b: 114 View Cited Treatment (female).
Diagnosis. Like the female, the male C. yanruae has narrow apical tergal hair bands ( Figs 6–7 View Figures 2–7 ) and much long hair on the scutum ( Fig. 5 View Figures 2–7 ). The male has a very large and broad S7 ( Figs 10–11 View Figures 8–11 ) that is similar in shape to that of C. reinigi Noskiewicz , C. luzhouensis Kuhlmann and C. linzhiensis Niu, Zhu & Kuhlmann. But C. yanruae differs from C. reinigi by the finer and denser punctation of terga, the rounded outer apical corners of S7 (shallowly incised in C. reinigi ) and the rounded gonostylus (pointed in C. reinigi ), and from C. linzhiensis by the distinctly narrower apical tergal hair bands and shorter malar area ( Fig. 4 View Figures 2–7 ). In C. yanruae , the gonostylus is broader than long, while it is narrower at its base and, thus, longer than broad in C. luzhouensis ( Fig. 9 View Figures 8–11 ). The males of both species are otherwise very similar, with only subtle differences in tergal punctation (punctures of T2 only slightly smaller than on T 1 in C. luzhouensis while in C. yanruae punctures of T2 are about half the diameter of those on T1). The male of C. brumalis Noskiewicz is unknown but likely has distinctly broader apical tergal hair bands than C. yanruae , for the female of C. brumalis Noskiewicz with broader apical tergal hair bands than C. yanruae .
Description. Male, BL= 9.5 mm ( Fig. 2 View Figures 2–7 ); head broader than long ( Fig. 3 View Figures 2–7 ), HW: HL= 53: 44; gena slightly narrower than eye in lateral view, GW: EW = 9: 12 ( Fig. 4 View Figures 2–7 ); width of metasoma as broad as that between tegulae, MtW: TW = 52: 52. Clypeus slightly convex, median part with fine oblique spine-shaped punctation ( Fig. 3 View Figures 2–7 ); antenna short, extending to the middle of scutellum, first flagellomere slightly longer than broad, 0.7 time as long as second flagellomere, flagellomeres 2–11 longer than broad, nearly 1.5 times as long as broad and nearly equal to each other in length; malar area medially shorter than width of mandible base, about 1/2 long as width of mandible base; facial fovea shallow and narrow, only half as wide as antennal flagellum; vertex behind eye rounded; propodeum laterally covered with sparse long erect hairs, integumental sculpture completely visible; disc of scutum shiny, with dense punctation, i = 0.5–1.5d ( Fig. 5 View Figures 2–7 ); metasomal terga with apical hair bands, the band on T1 slightly narrower medially, that on T2–T5 nearly 1/6 width as that of the related exposed terga ( Fig. 6 View Figures 2–7 ); posterior margin of T1 translucent and orange, punctation on disc of T1 round and dense, i = 0.2–0.5d ( Fig. 7 View Figures 2–7 ); sloping anterior and lateral anterior parts of T1 covered with erect long plumose hairs, and disc of T1 also with erect long sparse plumose hairs ( Fig. 7 View Figures 2–7 ); apical lobe of S7 large and broad, outer apical corner rounded, but with inside concave below the apical corner ( Fig. 10 View Figures 8–11 ); genitalia as showing in Fig. 8 View Figures 8–11 and Fig. 9 View Figures 8–11 , gonostylus short and broad at its base. Antennal flagellum ventrally black; all legs black. Face covered with dense long paler white plumose hairs, intermixed with black plumose hairs; gena, scutellum and mesepisternum covered with long paler white plumose hairs; scutum covered with dense long paler white plumose hairs, intermixed with black plumose hairs ( Figs 4–5 View Figures 2–7 ).
