Cladiopsocus kogui n. sp. Male

( Figs 36–42 )

Diagnosis. Belonging in species group “2”, subgroup 4, in the classification of Eertmoed (1986). It differs from the other species in the genus by the shape of the phallosome ( Fig. 54 ), epiproct and paraprocts ( Figs 41, 42 ).

Color. Head ( Fig. 38 ) brown, vertex, front and postclypeus brown, anteclypeus, labrum, mandibles, and maxillae pale brown, labium cream. Compound eyes dark brown, ocelli hyaline in a dark brown area. Antennae and maxillary palps brown. Pronotum pale brown, mesonotum and metanotum brown, thoracic pleura pale brown to cream; legs pale brown, tibiae and tarsi darker. Forewing membrane almost hyaline, ( Fig. 36 ); veins brown, with brown spots along some veins and at wing margin. Hindwings hyaline ( Fig. 37 ). Abdomen cream, with segmental spots pale brown, clunium and hypandrium brown, clunium with narrow anterior edge dark brown; epiproct and paraproct pale brown, paraproctal prong and phallosome brown.

Morphology. As in diagnosis plus the following: head vertex emarginate, slightly below the upper margin of the compound eyes ( Fig. 38 ); these large, with interommatidial setae. D is 0.60 the length of the head in front view. Forewings ( Fig. 36 ); membrane pterostigma with setae, without spur veins. Hypandrium triangular, broad, with medium sized setae and macrosetae. Phallosome bilobed anteriorly ( Fig. 40 ), widened distally, external parameres rounded laterally, endophallic lobes broadly triangular, arms of internal parameres bow shaped, fused posteriorly on the midline. Epiproct semioval ( Fig. 41 ), emarginate apically, with rounded small tubercle meso-distally, with six setae mesally, posterior setal field as illustrated. Paraprocts ( Fig. 42 ) with medium sized setae and macrosetae as illustrated; mesal prong elongate and strongly curved apically; sensory fields with 21 trichobothria on basal rosettes.
