Selangomonus bruneiensis gen. et sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: EB39CE62-A0D4-448B-8722-1E645CB3F793 Figs 5–7 Etymology The new species is named after the type locality, Brunei. Type material Holotype BRUNEI • ♂; Labi, Bukit Teraja; 21–28 Aug. 1979; S.L. Sutton leg.; BMNH. Paratypes BRUNEI – Labi • 1 ♂, 2 ♀♀; same data as for holotype; BMNH. – Temburong District • 3 ♀♀; Belalong; Oct. 1992; J.H. Martin leg.; BMNH. Description MEASUREMENTS (mm). Body length. ♂: 4.2–4.3; ♀: 4.3–4.4. COLOURATION. Colour and external characters as in generic diagnosis with forewings with whitish hyaline patches. MALE GENITALIA. Pygofer side longer than basal width in lateral view, without processes. Subgenital plates very long, approximately 4 times as long as basal width, bearing 13 long uniseriate lateral macrosetae. Connective with very short stem, arms divergent, approximately 3 times as long as stem; a lightly sclerotized lobe on each side. Aedeagal shaft elongate, approximately 5 times as long as connective, evenly tapered to pointed apex and gently angularly curved at distal ⅓ in lateral view, gonopore apical on dorsal surface; basal apodeme very short; preatrium long. Distribution Brunei. Remarks This new species can be distinguished by long pygofer with long anal tube exceeding caudal pygofer margin, while the pygofer is nearly the same length as subgenital plates; and by the gently angled and tapered aedeagal shaft distally in lateral view.
