Diagnosis
This species can be distinguished from the other species of the genus Logasa by the following combination of characters: antennomeres II and IV rectangular and longer than wide (Fig. 1e–f), apical lobe of male genitalia forked into two lobes, major lobe longer with three branches, parameres with over ten setae, and right lobe shorter and wider (Fig. 3a).
Description
Length 2.1–2.5 mm. Body yellowish to reddish-brown (Fig. 1a). Head. Head triangular with frontal fovea and vertexal foveae. Antennomeres with tubercles and long setae (Fig. 1e–f). Antennomere I elongate, II rectangular, III subquadrate and smallest, IV rectangular, V rhombic, VI—X gradually transverse (Fig. 1e–f). Thorax. Pronotum with deep sulcus and pair of lateral antebasal foveae. Each elytron with basal elytral foveae and discal elytral foveae. Abdomen. Tergite IV with pair of transverse patches of microtrichia (Fig. 1a). Aedeagus. Apical lobe of male genitalia forked into two lobes, major lobe longer with three branches, minor lobe short and simple (Fig. 3a). Phallobase of median lobe asymmetric and rounded (Fig. 3a). Parameres asymmetric with over ten setae, left paramere longer and narrower than right (Fig. 3a).
Distribution
New South Wales (Fig. 4: square).
Habitat
Specimens of this species were collected using flight intercept traps, window traps, or by sifting leaf and log litter in wet sclerophyll forests.
