Muttiocapsus teradai Yasunaga, 2024, sp. nov.

Muttiocapsus teradai sp. nov. (Figs 3–4, 10−11, 80, 112–120) Type material. HOLOTYPE: ♀, INDONESIA: North Sumatra, Prapat (Parapat), 2°39’N 98°56’E, UV lighting, x.1989, local collector (AMNH _ PBI 00378799) (ZRC). Diagnosis. Distinguished readily from the other congener, M. cruciger sp. nov., by its darkened apical 1/5 of antennomere I; longer labium reaching apex of mesocoxa; dark basal half of clavus; broader dark macula on corium; and entirely dark brown metafemur without pale base. Description. Female (holotype).As in generic description. Head dark brown, weakly shining, glabrous. Antenna pale brown; segment I longer than head width across eyes, with smoky brown apical 1/5; apical 2/3 of segment II smoky brown; segments III and IV missing. Labium shiny dark brown, reaching but not exceeding apex of mesocoxa; segment III brown. Pronotum fuscous, weakly shining, with creamy yellow posterior margin; thoracic pleura shiny dark brown, with posterior half of scent efferent system creamy yellow; mesoscutum and scutellum fuscous. Hemelytra pale brown, with dark brown, X-shaped macula (broader than M. cruciger sp. nov., as in Figs 1A, C) across corium and cuneus; clavus with darkened anterior half and lateral margin; apex of cuneus pale brown; membrane pale grayish brown, with darkened areolar cells. All coxae dark brown; legs and trochanters pale brown; metafemur, metatibia and all tarsi dark brown. Abdomen shiny dark brown. Female genitalia (Figs 2F–G, 14G–I) as mentioned in generic description. Male. Unknown. Measurements. See Table 1. Etymology. Named in honor of the late Mr. Daihei Terada, who worked for Hitachi High Tech and kindly accorded me to utilize Miniscope ® for long years but regretfully passed away on August 26, 2024; a noun in the genitive case. Biology. Unknown. Distribution. Indonesia (North Sumatra).
