Name
Coccygidium malayensis (Bhat & Gupta, 1977) comb. n. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Zelomorpha malayensis Bhat and Gupta 1977[1] [AEI, type examined], Peninsular Malaysia.
Diagnosis
Fore wing almost evenly hyaline; scape with a narrow melanic band laterally. There is a widespread undescribed species in peninsular Malaysia that is very similar to Coccygidium malayenisis. The undescribed species differs as follows: ocular- ocellar length (OOL) longer, almost twice as long as lateral ocellar diameter. Yellow coloration on stigma less than 1/3 of stigma surface.
Description
Body length. 6.7mm
Head. OOL 0.19; POD 0.14; IOL 0.08; EH 0.85; MS 0.20; 46 flagellomeres.
Mesosoma: Mesoscutum punctate; notauli well impressed and crenulate; scutellum with apical carina and subapical transverse depression; sternaulus well impressed and crenulate, extending about ¾ length of mesopleuron; metapleuron rugose in ventral 1/3, punctate dorsally; fore tibial spur as long as basitarsus.
Metasoma. Median tergite 1 about twice as long as wide apically (length = 1.11mm, width = 0.54mm).
Color. Yellow except as follows: flagellum melanic, scape yellow except for narrow melanic stripe laterally, pedicel yellow; tip of hind tibia black, hind tarsomeres brown to black, hind tibial spurs pale brown. Fore wing almost evenly hyaline, veins mostly yellow, somewhat more melanic apicoanteriorly; stigma yellow in basal 1/3 to 1/2, vein R pale from stigma to union with RS. Hind wing hyaline with yellow veins.
Male. Eyes are somewhat smaller than those of the female. This may be typical of most nocturnal species of Coccygidium. OOL 0.22; POD 0.13; IOL 0.12; EH 0.69; MS 0.29; 45 flagellomeres.
