description: Cardiodactylus fruhstorferi Gorochov & Robillard, n. sp.
(Figs 4, 5G, 9D, 11C, 13E, 14E, 24)
Type material. Male holotype: Indonesia. South Sulawesi Province, Samanga, S. Celebes [Sulawesi I., Buttu Samanga], XI.1895, H. Fruhstorfer, #61, 130-97, determined as C. novaeguineae by unknown person (ZIN). Paratypes (1♂, 3♀): same locality and collector as holotype, 1♀ (MHNG), 1♀ (MNHN-EO-ENSIF3656). S. Celebes, [Sulawesi I.], Patunuang, I.1896, H. Fruhstorfer: 1♂, #61, 130-97, determined as C. novaeguineae by unknown person (ZIN); 1♀ (MHNG).
Type locality. Indonesia, southern part of Sulawesi Island, Buttu Samanga.
Other material examined. Indonesia. South Sulawesi Province, Mont Bulu Saraung, Pos 5. 31.VIII.2007, forêt sur pente, espace dégagé en bord de piste, C. Villemant: 1♀, adulte en élevage (MNHN-EO-ENSIF1223); 2 juveniles (MNHN).
Etymology. Dedicated to the collector Dr. H. Fruhstorfer.
Distribution. Indonesia, southern part of Sulawesi Island.
Diagnosis. The new species is most similar to C. contrarius by the shape of male epiphallus, but it differs from the latter in the general coloration less contrasted, face of epicranium clearly darker, whitish spots on the male tegmina much smaller, and hind femora lacking any distinct dark areas at the apex. From C. oeroe, the new species differs in the same characters (excepting general coloration) and proximal corners of the dorsal epiphallic ridges widely rounded (not roundly angular) in profile, and from C. celebae (also from Sulawesi), in the whitish spots of male tegminal lateral field smaller, epiphallus distinctly longer, and its dorsal ridges slightly longer and in profile separated from the dorsoproximal epiphallic lobes by the notches clearly deeper.
Description. Male (holotype): Coloration of body light brown with following marks: head brown with genae and most part of mandibles yellowish, small spots on rostral apex and on frons near clypeus as well as antennae and rest of mouthparts light brown (Figs 5G, 24A–B); pronotum light brown with most part of lateral lobes almost dark brown and median part of disk having rather small and weakly distinct brown marks (Fig. 24B–C); tegminal dorsal field brown with semitransparent light brown areas in basal part and around oblique veins and chords, 2 rather large yellowish spots (one near mirror, and one at base of apical area), and oblique veins and part of chords almost whitish (Fig. 24D–E); tegminal lateral field with M, R, stock of Sc, and areas and crossveins between these veins reddish brown, with two rather large whitish spots (one near mirror, and one in distal part), with Sc branches and crossveins between them also whitish, and with membranes between these crossveins grayish, semitransparent (Fig. 24E); exposed part of hind wings grayish brown with venation weakly distinct; legs almost uniformly light brown but with middle part of tarsi darker (brown); rest of body brown with coxae, thoracic sternites, and genital plate light brown (coloration of anal plate and cerci intermediate between brown and light brown). Structure of body similar to that of C. reticulatus, however tegmina slightly not reaching abdominal apex, mirror 1.8 times as long as wide, Sc comb with 5–6 branches (Fig. 24E), and epiphallus of genitalia distinguished from that of C. contrarius only by distal part slightly wider and proximal half of dorsal ridges slightly higher (Fig. 24G–J).
Female: FW brown (Fig. 24F), its base whitish, longitidunal veins mostly orange brown, transverse veins variable, yellowish, whitish or brown; with a whitish sclerotizaion at FW mid-length on lateral external edge, not extended on dorsal field as in C. oeroe. R and Sc veins orange brown, the area between dark brown; projections of Sc yellow, the membrane between them dark brown; posterior corner of lateral field whitish. FW venation: dorsal field with 9 longitudinal veins, lateral field with 3 projections of Sc and 3 more ventral veins. Ovipositor short, its apex slightly denticulate dorsally and ventrally.
Female genitalia: Copulatory papilla more or less trapezoidal, with wide baso-lateral sclerites, apex rounded, slightly sclerotized, folded ventrally.
Juvenile: Contrasted coloration (Fig. 47A), mostly light brown and yellow brown mottled with dark brown spots. Head coloration as in adults; pronotum yellow brown with few dark brown spots.
Variation s. Paratype with lateral parts of frons under antennal cavities lighter (light brown), dorsum of head having narrow light longitudinal lines, and hind tibiae with weakly distinct (darkish) spots.
Measurements. Length in mm. Body: male 19–20, female 21.6–23.7; body with wings: male 23–24, female 26.5–26.7; pronotum: male 2.7–2.8, female 3–3.4; tegmina: male 13–13.5, female 14.2–14.5; hind femora: male 14.5–15.5, female 16.2–17.9; ovipositor 13.3–14.4.
Habitat and life history traits. Cardiodactylus fruhstorferi has been observed as juveniles only, at night on low plants and branches in open forested areas (Fig. 47).
Behavior. Unknown.
