DIAGNOSIS. — Coryphe-metope margin smooth, without keel. Metopial proboscis deeply notched frontally. Male anal tube deeply concave apically in dorsal view. Aedeagus narrow, with two long subapical processes. ETYMOLOGY. — Species name referring to deeply concave apically male anal tube. DISTRIBUTION. — Southwestern Central African Republic (Lobaye Prefecture). DESCRIPTION Structure (Figs 2C, D; 4C, D; 6C, D) Coryphe twice as wide as long medially, with weak median carina and nearly straight anterior margin (Fig. 4C). Metope densely covered with pustules (Fig. 6D). Coryphe-metope margin smooth, without keel (Fig. 6C). Metopial proboscis deeply notched frontally (Fig. 6D). Diameter of each eye nearly as wide as metope. Post- and anteclypeus with tiny median carina. Fore wings large and wide, with 1/3 of its length behind apex of clavus (Fig. 4D). Pcu joint A 1 in apical fourth of clavus. Clavus long, 2/3 of wing length. Basal cell narrow. Radius and median running from the same point on basal cell, both firstly furcating closely to basal cell in basal wing third. Forewing vein branching sequence: R 5-7; M 13-16, M 1 and M 2 furcating before wing middle and again apically; CuA 2, furcating after M in basal wing third. Legs not flattened neither foliated. Hind tibia with ten spines apically. First metatarsomere with two latero-apical and five intermediate spines arranged in an arc. Coloration (Fig. 4C, D) Coryphe yellowish light brown. Metope brown to dark brown. Head laterally dark brown to black above antenna and light brown below it. Scapi and pedicels brown. Postclypeus light brown to brown frontally. Anteclypeus yellow. Rostrum yellow, with black apex. Pro- and mesonotum brown to dark brown. Fore wings dark brown to black. Basal process of forewing precostal margin yellowish light brown to dark brown. Fore and middle coxae and hind trochanters brown. Fore femora and tibiae yellowish brown. Fore and middle tarsi brown. Middle femora with brown stripes in female. Third tarsomeres and claws brown. Apices of leg spines black. Female abdominal sternites light yellow except black sternite VII. Hind margins of gonoplacs and anterior connective laminae of gonapophyses VIII dark brown to black. Male terminalia (Fig. 9) Pygofer elongated dorso-ventrally, with hind margins deeply concave in their basal thirds (in lateral view) (Fig. 9A). Anal tube elongated, nearly twice as long as wide medially, convex laterally and deeply concave apically (in dorsal view) (Fig. 9B, C). Anal column small and wide. Penis narrow (Fig. 9D, E, F). Phallobase short, 1/3 of aedeagus length, symmetric. Aedeagus with denticles in its proximal half and with two long narrow subapical processes directed downwards – one on left side (Fig. 9D, E, c) and one – on right side, almost dorsally (Fig. 9D, E, F, b). Style with weakly convex hind margin and large apical tooth (Fig. 9H, G, at). Connective with small elongate cup (Fig. 9D). Measurement Total length. Male: 5.5 mm. Female: 6.5 mm.
