Himalisundacoris palolo Yasunaga, 2024, new species

Himalisundacoris palolo, new species (Figs. 11 A−D, 15A−C, 28) Type material. Holotype: male, INDONESIA: Central Sulawesi, Palu, Palolo, 1°13′S, 120°03′E, UV lighting, T. Yasunaga, 28 April 1988 (ZRC) (AMNH _ PBI 00378784). Paratype: INDONESIA: 1 female, same data as for holotype (TYCN). Diagnosis. This new species is recognised readily by the pale orange-brown basic colouration and entirely shiny fuscous abdomen, in addition to the characters provided in the above key. Description. Body oval, slightly elongate; basic colouration pale orange-brown, with uniformly shiny chocolate brown abdomen (Fig. 11A–D). Head pale orange-brown; partly suffused with red; vertex smooth, without basal transverse carina (Fig. 28D); lorum, jugum, and buccula suffused with red; clypeus fuscous. Antenna dark brown; antennomere I pale brown, with darkened base and apex; antennomere II with pale basal ½–⅔ and fuscous extreme base (female); base of antennomere III yellowish brown. Labium pale reddish brown, reaching middle part of metacoxa; apical ¾ of segment IV dark reddish brown. Pronotum uniformly pale, almost glabrous; pleura shiny pale orange-brown; metathoracic scent efferent system with rather small peritreme (Fig. 28C); scutellum uniformly pale, nearly glabrous (Fig. 28A). Hemelytron pale orange-brown, with uniformly distributed, pale, simple, reclining setae; basal ⅔ and apical margin of cuneus sanguineous; membrane pale smoky brown, semi-transparent, with brown veins. All coxae and legs pale brown; metafemur with two or three reddish rings apically; apical half of each tarsomere III slightly darkened; pretarsal structure as in Fig. 28F; parempodia narrow, lanceolate. Abdomen entirely fuscous. Male genitalia (Figs. 15A, 28G–J): Hypophysis of left paramere with sharp apex (Fig. 28H); right paramere tiny, bulbous, flattened (Figs. 28I); vesical lobal-sclerites with weak notches (Figs. 15A, 28J); secondary gonopore comparatively large. Female genitalia (Figs. 15B, C, 28K–O): Sclerotised rings relatively large, elongate-oval (Figs. 15B, 28K); dorsal margin of posterior wall with a pair of fields of spinules which form weak lateral lobes (Fig. 28M, N). Measurements. See Table 1. Etymology. Named for the type locality, Palolo of C. Sulawesi; a noun in apposition. Distribution. Indonesia (C. Sulawesi). Biology. Unknown.
