Bonesioides nitida Freund & Wagner 2003, sp. nov.
No full textBonesioides nitida sp. nov. Description Total length. 4.8–5.5 mm (mean: 5.17 mm). Head. Labrum, labial and maxillary palpus black; frons and vertex dark metallic golden green. Antenna black, short, extending towards end of mesosternum (figure 79); first three antennal articles rarely dark brown. Antennal article 3 about 50% longer than article 2 (figure 80), A2/A3: 0.50–0.67 (mean: 0.60); antennal article 4 not longer than articles 2 and 3 combined, A3/A4: 0.61–0.71 (mean: 0.69). Eyes small (figure 79), WE/DE: 0.52–0.61 (mean: 0.55). Thorax. Pronotum and elytra dark metallic golden green. PL: 0.7–0.9 mm (mean: 0.82 mm), PW: 1.5–1.7 mm (mean: 1.64 mm), PL/PW: 0.46–0.53 (mean: 0.50). EL: 3.8–4.3 mm (mean: 4.05 mm), EW: 2.4–2.7 mm (mean: 2.55 mm), EW/EL: 0.57–0.66 (mean: 0.63). Mesothorax, metathorax and legs black, metatibia about twice as long as metatarsus (figure 79), TA/TI: 0.47–0.51 (mean: 0.49). Abdomen. Black. Male genitalia. Median lobe slender, homogeneously narrowed apically, with a contraction at beginning of apical third (figure 82). Base of orifice nearly rectangular, tectum short and slender. Endophallus with a large sclerotized base and two rightcurved spiculae; endophallic brush and apical part of sclerotized ductus ejaculatorius protruding, not covered by tectum. Female genitalia. Spermatheca with slender nodulus, homogeneously converging towards short and straight middle part; cornu varying in length and curvature (figure 81). Distribution. Recorded from montane regions of the Albertine Rift in Kivu (figure 53). Diagnosis. Bonesioides nitida sp. nov. is most similar to B. virens and B. budongoensis sp. nov. (figures 30, 49), but can be distinguished by the colour of pronotum and elytra. B. nitida sp. nov. has a metallic golden green coloration, while B. budongoensis sp. nov. is much duller and B. virens has a brighter metallic green or purple coloration. Furthermore, the antenna as a whole and the antennal articles in detail in B. virens are much longer than in B. nitida sp. nov (figures 31, 50). Males can be distinguished by the median lobe, which is much more slender in B. nitida sp. nov. than in B. budongoensis sp. nov. or B. virens (figures 33, 52, 82). The endophallus in B. nitida sp. nov. is not hooked at base like in B. budongoensis sp. nov., the endophallic brush and the apical part of the ductus ejaculatorius is larger and more protruding than in B. virens.

Mesothorax, metathorax and legs black, metatibia on average twice as long as metatarsus (figure 75), TA/TI: 0.45–0.52 (mean: 0.49). Abdomen. Black. Male genitalia. Median lobe very slender, parallel-sided from orifice towards tectum, apical third also nearly parallel-sided, but much more slender (figure 78). Orifice broad and nearly rectangular at base, tectum long and slender. Endophallus with two long, left-curved spiculae, which are large at base. Endophallic brush and apical part of sclerotized ductus ejaculatorius covered by tectum, only gonoporus slightly protruding. Female genitalia. Spermatheca with slightly expanded nodulus, middle part short and nearly straight, cornu strongly hooked at apex (figure 77). Distribution. Recorded from montane regions of Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania (figure 48). Diagnosis. Bonesioides montana sp. nov. is most similar to B. laevicollis and B. marcoi sp. nov. (figures 39, 71). B. montana sp. nov. has smaller eyes than those species (mean WE/DE: 0.68, but 0.72 in B. laevicollis and 0.78 in B. marcoi sp. nov.). Elytra in B. montana sp. nov. are nearly parallel-sided from humeri towards the apex (figure 75), while they are expanded apically in B. laevicollis and B. marcoi sp. nov. (figures 39, 71). Furthermore, these species can be distinguished by shape of the male genitalia. The median lobe of B. montana sp. nov. is very slender and parallel-sided from orifice towards the tectum, the apical third is strongly narrowed and also nearly parallel-sided (figure 78), while in B. laevicollis and B. marcoi sp. nov. the median lobe is homogeneously narrowed from orifice towards the apex and is much broader (figures 42, 74). B. laevicollis and B. marcoi sp. nov. mainly occur in the Congo Basin (figure 43), while B. montana sp. nov. is restricted to the montane regions of East Africa (figure 48).

Article 2 slightly shorter than article 3 (figure 88), A2/A3: 0.77–0.79 (mean: 0.78); article 4 longer than 2 and 3 combined, A3/A4: 0.53–0.54 (mean: 0.54). Eyes large (figure 87), WE/DE: 0.97–1.0 (mean: 0.99). Thorax. Pronotum reddish brown. PL: 1.0– 1.1 mm (mean: 1.03 mm), PW: 1.9–2.2 mm (mean: 2.0 mm), PL/PW: 0.50–0.53 (mean 0.52). Elytra dark green metallic, EL: 4.5–4.9 mm (mean: 4.73 mm), EW: 2.8–3.0 mm (mean: 2.87 mm), EW/EL: 0.58–0.62 (mean: 0.61). Mesothorax, metathorax and legs reddish brown, metatibia on average twice as long as metatarsus (figure 87), TA/TI: 0.46–0.52 (mean: 0.50). Abdomen. Reddish brown. Male genitalia. Median lobe slender, homogeneously narrowed apically (figure 89). Orifice nearly rectangular, tectum long and slender. Endophallus distally with two small spiculae. Large endophallic brush and slightly protruding apical part of sclerotized ductus ejaculatorius covered by tectum. Female genitalia. Female unknown. Distribution. Recorded from Nigeria and Ivory Coast (figure 66). Diagnosis. Can be easily identified by the reddish brown head, thorax and abdomen, and the dark green metallic elytra, a combination which does not occur in any other Bonesioides species. Most similar is B. purpureipennis, which is much larger, has metallic blue or purple elytra, and a much broader median lobe. Type material H : W ‘ Umudike, 10-IV-1960, J. L. Gregory; Nigeria: Pres.
