description: Indoceoplanetes (Capnodella) kamphaengphetensis Gustafsson & Bush, new species
(Figs 68, 71, 74–76)
Type host. Lalage melaschistos avensis (Blyth, 1852) – black-winged cuckooshrike.
Type locality. Khlong Khlung, Kamphaeng Phet Province, Thailand.
Diagnosis. Indoceoplanetes (Capnodella) kamphaengphetensis new species is most similar to In. (Cp.) laurocorythes Gustafsson & Bush, 2017, both sharing the following characters: male abdominal segment IV with 1 ps on each side (Fig. 68); mesosome short with proximal margin gently rounded (Fig. 75); gonopore of similar shape (Fig. 75). Female of In. (Cp.) kamphaengphetensis not known, and no comparison can be made.
These two species can be separated by the following characters: male abdominal segments V–VII with 2–3 ps on each side in In. (Cp.) laurocorythes, but each with 1 ps on each side in In. (Cp.) kamphaengphetensis (Fig. 68); dorsal preantennal suture reaching medianly of ads in In. (Cp.) kamphaengphetensis (Fig. 71) but not in In. (Cp.) laurocorythes; frons more angular in In. (Cp.) kamphaengphetensis (Fig. 71) than in In. (Cp.) laurocorythes; mesosome proportionately broader, reaching lateral to parameral heads in In. (Cp.) kamphaengphetensis (Fig. 74), but narrower, not overlapping parameral heads completely in In. (Cp.) laurocorythes.
Description. Male. Head rounded trapezoidal (Fig. 71), lateral margins of preantennal area slightly convex, frons broadly flattened. Marginal carina broad, narrowing conspicuously at dsms, interrupted sublaterally. Dorsal preantennal suture reaches dsms and ads and continues median to ads, but does not completely separate dorsal anterior plate and does not reach lateral head margin. Dorsal anterior plate about as broad as long, with sinuous thickening in posterior half. Ventral anterior plate rounded triangular, with slightly concave anterior margin. Head chaetotaxy as in Fig. 71; many ventral head setae broken off in single examined male, and length here illustrated tentatively. Preantennal nodi large, bulging. Preocular nodi lager than postocular nodi. Marginal temporal carina of moderate width. Gular plate pentagonal, antero-lateral margins concave. Thoracic and abdominal segments and chaetotaxy as in Fig. 68; ppss, mms and some abdominal setae are broken off in the holotype, so estimated length is here illustrated tentatively. Basal apodeme roughly rectangular, expanding distally (Fig. 74). Proximal mesosome gently rounded (Fig. 75). Mesosomal lobes broad, overlapping parameral heads laterally, distal margins gently rounded laterally. Gonopore with slightly concave distal margin, antero-lateral extensions slightly hooked. Parameres broad throughout (Fig. 76); pst1–2 as in Fig. 76. Measurements as in Table 1.
Female. Unknown.
Etymology. The species epithet is derived from the name of the province of the type locality.
Type material. Ex Lalage melaschistos avensis: Holotype ♂, Khlong Khlung, Kamphaeng Phet Province, Thailand, 15 Apr. 1953, R. E. Elbel & H.G. Deignan, RE-2434 RT-B-17907 (BPBM).
