4. Projecta draciformis Cao & Zhang sp. nov.

(Figs 8, 25 e–h)

Description. Ground color pale yellow (specimens preserved in ethanol before examination), eyes grey. (Figs 25 eh)

Male genital capsule (Fig. 8b) spherical. Pygofer lobe (Fig. 8b) with distal extension long, wide, apex serrated; dorsal appendage (Figs 8b, c) fused to lobe, foot-like, apex pointed. Subgenital plate (Figs 8b, f) not extended to apex of pygofer lobe, apical part relatively wide in dorsal view, obliquely truncate apically in lateral view. Style (Figs 8g, h) with foot-like apex very narrow, preapical lobe short and broad. Connective (Fig. 8i) with manubrium narrow. Aedeagal shaft (Figs 8j, k) depressed, lateral margins curved ventrad, with pair of long, thin processes apically, curved dorsad, and pair of thin processes basally, shorter than apical pair, directed caudad and curved inwards; dorsal apodeme tapered in lateral view; preatrium short, forming angulate process.

Measurement. Male length 3.90–4.10mm.

Material examined. Holotype: ♂, REPUBLIC OF CONGO, Dept. Pool, Iboubikro site, Lesio-Loun Pk, 340m, 03°16.196'S, 015°28.267'E, 25.viii.2008, coll. Braet & Sharkey. Paratypes: 2♂, same data as holotype except 29.viii.2008 .

Etymology. The new specific epithet is derived from Latin words “ draco ” and “ formis ”, referring to the dragonlike aedeagal shaft.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to P. depressa sp. nov., but the pygofer extension is narrower, the pygofer dorsal appendage is shorter and fused to the pygofer lobe, the style has a shorter apex, the aedeagal shaft is narrower and has an additional pair of processes basally, and the preatrium forms an angulate process.
