description: Adelphenaldis correcta sp. n. ♀♂
(Figs 12–20)
Material examined (1 ♀ + 5 ♂) – Female holotype + three male paratypes: Korea, Prov. South Pyongan, Pyongyan, Hotel garden, taken with Malaise trap, 5–6 August 1971, leg. S. HORVATOVICH et J. PAPP. – One male paratype: Korea, Prov. South Pyongan, De-sang san, 12 km NE fromPyongyan, 7 August 1971, leg. S. HORVATOVICH et J. PAPP. – One male paratype (in Coll. KU): Korea, Kangwon, Mt. Solak Paekdansa, 25 May 1993, leg. D.-S. KU.
Female holotype and four male paratypes are deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Department of Zoology), Budapest, Hym. Typ. Nos 10965 (holotype) and 10966–10969 (paratypes). One male paratype in the Coll. D.-S. KU (Sancheong).
Holotype is in good condition: metasoma glued separately; paratypes are in fairly good condition, their antennae partly damaged, one paratype with somewhat creased wings, every specimen glued on a pointed card by mesosternum between coxae 1–2.
Etymology. – The species name “correcta” refers to the name correction: earlier I named this series as Synaldis trematosa FISCHER (PAPP 1994: 137); Dr. M. FISCHER was kind enough to call my attention that the series at hand represents a new species in the genus Adelphenaldis FISCHER, 2003.
Description of the female holotype. – Body 1.7 mm long. Antenna about as long as body and with 15 antennomeres. First flagellomere 2.7 times and second flagellomere 2.2 times as long as broad apically, flagellomeres 1 and 2 equal in length, further flagellomeres thickening, 1.8 times and penultimate flagellomere also 1.8 times as long as broad (Fig. 12). – Head in dorsal view (Fig. 13) transverse, 1.9 times as broad as long and 1.7 times as broad as mesosternum between tegulae, eye one-fourth longer than temple, temple rounded. Subclypeal (or tentorial) pit reaching compound eye. OOL almost three times as long as POL, ocelli small and elliptic. Eye in lateral view 1.5 times as high as wide, temple a bit less wide than eye. Mandible (Fig. 14) 2.1 times as long as broad between teeth 1 and 3, upper tooth small and rounded, middle tooth spiky, lower tooth as large as middle tooth and less spiky. Head polished.
Mesosoma in lateral view stout, a bit longer than high, polished. Pronope and mesoscutal dimple missing. Notaulix distinct though less deep, subcrenulate, restricted to declivous fore part of mesoscutum. Precoxal suture (or sternaulix) short, restricted to middle of mesopleuron, finely crenulate. Epicnemial suture finely crenulate. Propodeum areolated, transverse carina of areola basalis only medially pointed as in Fig. 15, pair of spiracles fairly large. – Hind femur 3.7 times as long as broad distally (Fig. 16). Hind tibia and tarsus equal in length. Hind basitarsus as long as tarsomeres 2–4 combined.
Fore wing distinctly one-fourth longer than body. Pterostigma hardly broader than metacarpal vein. Veins r + 3SR relatively short, SR1 2.6 times as long as r + 3SR (Fig. 17); cu–a postfurcal, first subdiscal cell closed, CU1a issuing from upper point of 3–CU1 + CU1b combined (Fig. 18).
First tergite (Fig. 19) long, 2.3 times as long as broad, beyond pair of spiracles parallel-sided, spiracles just beyond middle of tergite, pair of converging keels distinct anteriorly, posteriorly faintly distinct. Tergites polished. Border between tergites 2–3 just distinct (Fig. 19). Third tergite a bit longer than second tergite. Ovipositor sheath in lateral view as long as hind basitarsus.
Body chestnut brown, first tergite brownish yellow, tergites 2–3 brown. Scape, pedicel and flagellomeres 1–2 yellow, flagellomere 3 darkening yellowish brownish, rest of flagellum brown. Palpi whitish, mandible yellow. Tegula yellow. Legs yellow. Wings hyaline, pterostigma and veins yellowish brownish.
Description of the five male paratypes. – Similar to the female holotype. Body 1.5–2.1 mm long (1.5: 1 ♂, 1.8: 1 ♂, 2: 2 ♂♂, 2.1: 1 ♂). Antenna with 17–19 antennomeres (17: 3 ♂♂, 18: 1 ♂, 19: 1 ♂), flagellum less thickening. Flagellomeres 1–2 equal in length, 3.2 times as long as broad apically, further flagellomeres 2.4 times and penultimate flagellomere 2.2 times as long as broad. Carinae of propodeum stronger than those of female (Fig. 20). First tergite 2.6 times as long as broad behind. Metasoma light brown to brown, posteriorly somewhat darkening.
Host unknown.
Distribution: Korea.
The new species, Adelphenaldis correcta, is near to A. trematosa (FISCHER) considering their long paraclypeal pit (or tentorial pit, WHARTON 1985) reaching compound eye, the short and crenulated precoxal suture and the long first tergite; the two species are separated by the features keyed (male of A. trematosa unknown):
1 (2) Female: Distal flagellomeres at most hardly longer than broad (Fig. 98 in FISCHER 2003: 74). Areola basalis of propodeum somewhat wider and its upper transverse carina as in Fig. 104 (l. c.). First tergite twice as long as broad behind, posteriorly slightly broadening (Fig. 104 l. c.). Mesosoma in lateral view 1.5 times as long as high. SR1 of fore wing twice as long as r + 3SR (Fig. 103 l. c.). Ovipositor sheath in lateral view just half as long as first tergite. ♀: 1.8 mm. – U.S.A. (Michigan) A. trematosa (FISCHER, 1967)
2 (1) Female: Distal flagellomeres 1.8 times as long as broad (Fig. 12). Areola basalis of propodeum somewhat less wide and its upper transverse carina as in Figs 15 and 20. First tergite 2.3 times as long as broad behind, paral- lel-sided (Fig. 19). Mesosoma in lateral view stout, a bit longer than high. SR1 of fore wing 2.6 times as long as r + 3SR (Fig. 17). Ovipositor sheath in lateral view two-thirds as long as first tergite. ♀: 1.7 mm. – Male: Distal flagello- meres 2.4 times as long as broad, antenna with 17–19 antennomeres. – Korea A. correcta sp. n.
Taxonomic remark. – The genus Adelphenaldis was described recently by FISCHER (2003: 41). Its generic difference from the genus Synaldis FOERSTER, 1862 is restricted to the length of the paraclypeal (or tentorial) pit and the mesoscutal dimple: (1) Adelphenaldis: pit large and reaching the compound eye, mesoscutal dimple either present or missing and (2) Synaldis: pit short and not reaching compound eye, mesoscutal dimple usually present. After FISCHER (1967 and l. c.) and BELOKOBYLSKIJ (2002) the following species are assigned to the genus Adelphenaldis:
A. acutidentata (FISCHER, 1970) – Austria, China
A. brunicorpus FISCHER, 2003 – Republic of South Africa
A. claricornis (FISCHER, 1993) – Congo
A. correcta sp. n. – Korea
A. crassimembris FISCHER, 2003 – Republic of South Africa
A. crassithorax FISCHER, 2003 – Republic of South Africa
A. cultrata (BELOKOBYLSKIJ, 2002) – Asiatic Russia
A. georgica (FISCHER, 1993) – Georgia
A. gigascapus (FISCHER, 1993) – India
A. knysnaana FISCHER, 2003 – Republic of South Africa
A. magnareata (FISCHER, 1993) – Australia
A. moniliata (BELOKOBYLSKIJ, 2002) – Asiatic Russia
A. pacifica (BELOKOBYLSKIJ, 2002) – Asiatic Russia, Japan A. paraclypealis (FISCHER, 1967) – U.S.A.
A. parvicornis (THOMSON, 1895) – Europe, Russia
A. resurrectionis (FISCHER, 1993) – Congo
A. propoglabra (FISCHER, 1993) – Ethiopia
A. rugipropodeum FISCHER, 2003 – Republic of South Africa A. ryukyuensis (BELOKOBYLSKIJ, 2002) – Japan
A. spasskensis (BELOKOBYLSKIJ, 2002) – Asiatic Russia
A. striatipetiolata FISCHER, 2003 – Republic of South Africa A. subsurrectionis FISCHER, 2003 – Republic of South Africa
(assigned to “ Synaldis ”, lapsus calami)
