Neoteratura hirta Wang & Ren & Shi & Chang 2025, sp. nov.

Neoteratura hirta sp. nov., Chinese name: 多Ɨšạŝ (Figs. 1, 3A) Description. Male. Body small. Head. Fastigium verticis protruding forward, apex rounded, furrowed on dorsal surface. Eyes globular, protruding forward. Apical segment of maxillary palpus slightly shorter than subapical one, apical area inflated. Anterior margin of pronotum straight, posterior margin rounded; lateral lobes longer than deep; humeral sinus indistinct (Fig. 1A–B). Tegmina and wings. Tegmina broad and short, not reaching or slightly surpassing apices of hind femora; hind wings shorter than tegmina. Stridulatory file nearly straight, with 89–91 teeth; basal third with large teeth, apical teeth dense and small (Fig. 3A). Legs. All femora without spines on ventral surfaces. Fore coxa with a spine; fore tibial tympana open on both sides, fore tibia with 2 pairs of long spines and 1 pair of short apical spurs on ventral surface. Middle tibia with 1 internal and 2 external long spines on ventral surface, with 1 pair of short ventral apical spurs. Hind tibia with 22–25 short spines on both sides of dorsal surface separately, bearing 1 pair of dorsal apical spurs and 1 pair of ventral apical spurs. Abdomen. Tenth abdominal tergite with posterior margin concave, lateral surface with a short process in the middle of posterior margin (Fig. 1D). Cercus slightly broad and compressed at base; the middle divided into two branches, dorsal branch curved dorsad and inwards, nearly triangular, longer than broad, apex rounded (Fig. 1F); ventral branch slender, obviously incurved at base, slightly curved backwards in middle area, apex rounded (Fig. 1G). Genitalia exposed, including two parts, dorsal part with base broad, middle area narrow and upcurved, apical half with a swollen process that appears subtriangular in lateral view and inversely trapezoidal in dorsal view, its dorsal surface covered with dense hairs and base bearing a short process with apex rounded (Fig. 1C–F); ventral part slightly sclerotized, the middle of dorsal surface with 2 incurved lamellar processes, apices of which with 6–7 small dentiform processes; apical area with a nearly oval process (Fig. 1D–E). Base of subgenital plate slightly narrow, middle area broad, narrowing, posterior margin concave (Fig. 1E). Styli long conical, inserted on ventral surface of subapical area of subgenital plate (Fig. 1G). Coloration. Body green when alive, eyes brown. Spines and spurs of hind tibia black. Female. Unknown. Material examined. Holotype: ♂, Mengsong, Menghai, Yunnan, 16 August, 2019, collected by Qidi Zhu. Paratypes: 2♂, same data as holotype. Measurements (mm). Body length: ♂ 8.5–9.2; pronotum length: ♂ 4.0–4.2; tegmen length: ♂ 8.8–9.1; hind femur length: ♂ 8.0–8.2. Discussion. The new species is similar to Neoteratura quadrata Shi & Zhang, 2021, but differs in the following: male cercus with dorsal branch nearly triangular, longer than broad, apex rounded; ventral branch slender, obviously incurved at base and slightly curved backwards in middle area, apex rounded. Apical half of dorsal part of genitalia with a swollen process that appears subtriangular in lateral view and inversely trapezoidal in dorsal view, its dorsal surface covered with dense hairs and base bearing a short process with apex rounded. Etymology. The name of new species is derived from male genitalia, which covered with dense hairs on dorsal surface, Latin hirt- means hirsute. Distribution. China (Yunnan).

Abstract

Neoteratura hirta sp. nov., Chinese name: 多Ɨšạŝ (Figs. 1, 3A) Description. Male. Body small. Head. Fastigium verticis protruding forward, apex rounded, furrowed on dorsal surface. Eyes globular, protruding forward. Apical segment of maxillary palpus slightly shorter than subapical one, apical area inflated. Anterior margin of pronotum straight, posterior margin rounded; lateral lobes longer than deep; humeral sinus indistinct (Fig. 1A–B). Tegmina and wings.
