Anaplectoidea garoensis sp. nov. Figures 3A–K Type material. HOLOTYPE: male, Baghmara, 25.207677N, 90.637588E, 42msl, South Garo Hills Dt., Meghalaya, INDIA, 20 October 2024, Coll. K. A. Subramanian & Party, Reg. No. ZSI/SRC/I/B -934. Differential diagnosis. Anaplectoidea garoensis sp. nov. can be differentiated from other species in this genus by the following characters: the subgenital plate asymmetrical, with the right posterolateral corner produced, styli symmetrical without interstylar lobe (Fig. 3H). The median phallomere has sclerotized apex and hair-like setae arising from mid-region of the phallomere (Fig. 3J). In contrast, Anaplectoidea lampongensis has an asymmetrical styli with an interstylar lobe; the median phallomere has sclerotized apex and without hair-like setae. Etymology. This species epithet refers to the Garo Hills, Meghalaya, India, from where the type specimen was collected. Description. Male: Body dark brown. Vertex exposed, interocular distance shorter than inter-antennal distance. Ocelli present above antennal socket. Frons light brown. Maxillary palps light yellowish; 5 th palpomere slightly darker and enlarged, 3 rd, 4 th and 5 th palpomeres are equal in length. Pronotum subparabolic with hyaline lateral margins. Tegmina and hind wings fully developed, reaching beyond the abdomen, tegmina yellowish brown. Hind wing cubitus vein with 3 pseudocomplete and 3 incomplete branches; appendicular field occupies 22-23% of the wing length (Fig. 3C). Front femur Type A 2, with 5-6 proximal stout spines followed by a row of uneven small spines, terminating with 2 large spines that increase in size distally (Fig. 3G). Pulvilli present on all tarsomeres of all legs. Tarsal claws strongly dentate and symmetrical; arolium present (Fig. 3E). Abdominal tergum T 7 modified with a pair of setae at the middle, not separated (Fig. 3D). Supraanal plate yellowish brown. Paraprocts asymmetrical, right paraproct curved and spiny at apex (Fig. 3F). Subgenital plate asymmetrical with the right posterolateral corner protruded, styli symmetrical without interstylar lobe (Fig. 3H). Genital hook positioned to the left. Median phallomere has sclerotized apex and hair-like setae arising from mid-region of the phallomere, right phallomere as shown in Figs 3 I-K. Female: Unknown Measurements (mm). Male: total length: 8.30; tegmina: 6.90; pronotum: 1.60 x 2.30; body length: 6.60. Distribution. India: Meghalaya.
