Name
Nebria pisciformis Sasakawa, 2020 sp. nov. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
- Nebria reflexa : Uéno (1985)[1]: 56 (part); Nakane (1963b)[2]: 19 (part).
Notes
This species is known only from the type locality, Ôshirakawa-dani, which is situated on the eastern foot of Mount Hakusan. It is distinguished from N. niohozana, which is known from high altitude areas of Mount Hakusan, by a smaller body size, and from N. furcata sp. nov. by a lower PPW/EL and the shape of the dorsoapical lobe.
Description
Body length: ♂, 9.51–9.54 mm (n = 2). PPW/EL: ♂, 0.309–0.320 (n = 2). Ventral surface of aedeagal apex not concave. Dorsobasal lobe present. Dorsomedian lobe absent. Dorsoapical lobe with the basal part protruding anterodorsally; the protrusion as long as and 1.5 times as wide as right laterobasal lobe; the apical portion directed ventrally, less than twice the width of subapical constriction; the apical margin simple, not furcate. Right laterobasal lobe small, with the width from the ventral view narrower than the width of the gonopore protrusion from the lateral view. Left laterobasal lobe small, with the width from the ventral view narrower than the width of the gonopore protrusion from the lateral view. Right lateroapical lobe small, strongly bent at the middle in an anterior direction. Left lateroapical lobe with the posterior part moderate in size and weakly bent at the middle in an anterolateral direction; the anterior part weakly swollen. Ventrobasal surface almost flat, without swelling.
Type materials
Holotype: ♂ (NARO), Ôshirakawa-dani, 800–1250 m, Shirakawa-mura, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, 19.vi.1972, K. Tanaka & H. Ohira leg.; 1♂, same data as the holotype.
Etymology
The specific name derives from a combination of the Latin words piscis (fish) and -formis (-shaped) and refers to the dorsal view of the dorsoapical lobe.
