Lauxania strigata Meijere, 1910. Type locality: Indonesia (Java). Syntypes male and female in NNM and ZMAN Homoneura (Homoneura) strigata: Malloch, 1929: 54. Shewell in Delfinado & Hardy, 1977: 209. Sasakawa, 1992: 201; 2001: 84; 2003: 72.
Diagnosis. Frons with a pair of brown stripes, extending to ocellar triangle. Antennal 1st flagellomere brown on apical 2/3. Mesonotum with 8 brown stripes and 0+3 dc, acr in irregular 6 rows. Wing with a brown costal transverse stripe terminated on basal 2/3 of R2+3, confluent with brown cloud on r-m and a small brown round spot on R4+5; a slender brown band on basal 1/6 of R4+5, brown apical spot on R2+3 confluent with a brown round spot on R4+5, two brown apical spots confluent on R4+5 and M1; brown clouds on r-m and m-cu; subcostal cell brown apically. Male tergites 3–6 (female 3–7) each with a black medial stripe-like spot and a pair of brown round ventrolateral spots.
Redescription. MALE. Body length 3.7–4.1 mm, wing length 3.6–4.0 mm. FEMALE. Body length 3.5–4.0 mm, wing length 3.5–4.0 mm.
Head (Figs 273–274) yellow. Frons as long as wide and parallel-sided, with a pair of brown stripes, extending to ocellar triangle; ocellar triangle black; oc shorter than anterior or and anterior or longer than 1/2 of the posterior. Gena about 1/3 height of eye. Antenna yellow, 1st flagellomere yellow except for pale brown on apical 2/3, 2.0 times longer than high; arista black except for brownish base, ray short plumose, with longest ray as long as 1/2 height of 1st flagellomere. Proboscis and palpus yellow.
Thorax (Figs 275, 276) yellow with grayish white pruinosity. Mesonotum with 8 brown stripes (two medial stripes on arc rows, two stripes on dc rows, two post-sutural lateral stripes, two stripes on sa rows), 0+3 dc (1st post-sutural dc far from transverse suture), acr in irregular 6 rows and prsc as long as 1st post-sutural dc. Scutellum yellow, with a pair of wide brown stripes. Legs yellow. Fore femur with 3 pv, 8 pd, and ctenidium with 9 short setae; fore tibia with 1 long preapical ad and 1 short apv. Mid femur with 6 a (4 a in few individuals) and 1 app; mid tibia with 1 strong preapical ad, 2 strong apv. Hind femur with 1 weak preapical ad; hind tibia with 1 preapical ad and 1 short apv. Wing (Fig. 278) slightly yellow, with a brown costal transverse band terminated on basal 2/3 of R2+3, confluent with brown cloud on r-m and a small round brown spot on R4+5; a narrow band on basal 1/6 of R4+5, a brown apical spot on R2+3 confluent with a brown round spot on R4+5, two brown apical spots on R4+5 and M1 confluent; brown cloud on r-m and m-cu, constricted at middle; subcostal cell brown apically; costa with 2nd (between R1 and R2+3), 3rd (between R2+3 and R4+5) and 4th (between R4+5 and M1) sections in proportion of 4.5:1.7:1; r-m at middle of discal cell; ultimate and penultimate sections of M 1 in proportion of 1:1.8; ultimate section of CuA1 about 1/7 of penultimate. Halter yellow, knob pale brown.
Abdomen (Fig. 277) yellow with sparse grayish white pruinosity, male tergites 3–6 (female 3–7) each with a black stripe-like medial spot. Male genitalia (Figs 279–283): syntergosternite semicircular; epandrium broad apically in lateral view; surstylus claviform with two tiny teeth and long setulae on ventral margin and tiny sawteeth apical margin; hypandrium H-shaped in ventral view; postgonite slightly curved with three apical teeth, an inner lateral tooth and 5–6 long setae; aedeagus consisting of a pair of hook-like apical processes and two pairs of dorsal processes in lateral view, and with a deep apical incision in ventral view; aedeagal apodeme shorter than aedeagus.
