Nyctiophylax ( Nyctiophylax) catunujah , new species

Figures 69–71 View FIGURES 69–71

Diagnosis: This species resembles N. ( P.) archemoros Malicky from Thailand, and N. ( P.) antenor Malicky from Nepal. It differs from these species in having large rectangular cerci and straight, not curving, ventral paraproctal processes, each with a slightly hooked or knotted apex.

Description: Male. Body uniformly brown. Maxillary palp formula (I,II)-IV-III-V. Forewing length 6.4 mm. Forewings each with median cell open.

Male genitalia. Sternite IX rounded and pentagonal in lateral view ( Fig. 69 View FIGURES 69–71 ); tergite IX fused with paraprocts. Segment X weakly sclerotized, in dorsal view deeply incised into large, quadrangular dorsal interlobular gap with short, irregular, median lobe and long, rod-like lateral lobes; lateral lobes narrow, scarcely setose. Cerci large, quadrangular ( Fig. 69 View FIGURES 69–71 ), setose; arising from complex of tergite IX and paraproct. Paraproctal complexes each consisting of basal body and ventral paraproctal process; smooth, heavily sclerotized, straight with slightly hooked apex. Gonopods robust, each with basal expansion well-developed, representing ventral branch; dorsal branch straight in lateral and ventral views ( Figs. 69, 70 View FIGURES 69–71 ), with dorsoapical incision in lateral view. Phallic apparatus ( Fig. 71 View FIGURES 69–71 ) located dorsally in genitalia, guided by ventral paraproctal processes. Phallic apparatus with tube-like, faintly sclerotized phallotheca continuing into membranous endotheca or endophallus, with pair of long, arching, spines (possibly parameres) arising from phallobase.

Holotype male: MYANMAR: North East , Kambaiti, 7000 ft, 30.iv.1934, Malaise trap, [ R. Malaise]— ( BMNH).

Distribution: Myanmar.

Etymology: Catunujah, quadrangular in Sanscrit, after the quadrangular cerci.

Remarks: Nyctiophylax ( P.) archemoros was placed into subgenus Paranyctiophylax because it has looped anal veins in the forewing. Nyctiophylax ( Nyctiophylax) catunuyah , new species, has very similar genitalia but the forewing anal veins are not looped.
