Dorsum covered with dense, short setae (Fig. 1). Antenna 8-segmented as in Hydroscapha (Fig. 2; as opposed to 5 segments in Scaphydra). Mentum and submentum not fused (Fig. 4B). Metacoxa with femoral plate short, reduced to area of articulation with metatrochanter (Fig. 4A). Metatrochanters with row of stiff, spine-like setae (Fig. 4A; absent in Hydroscapha and Scaphydra). Abdomen with tergite IV (Fig. 4B) lacking a dense covering of setae (present in Hydroscapha and Scaphydra). Aedeagus consisting of a forked base with a long, uncoiled median lobe (Fig. 6).</p> <p>have been used. In others, the term “last sternite” or “last ventrite” is used in place of the actual segment number. This can lead to substantial confusion as the males and females of the present species actually have a differing number of exposed abdominal segments, thus the “last sternite” is VIII in the females and XI in the male!

Total body length 1.50–1.75 mm. Body fusiform, very elongate. Color: Clypeus and central third of frons and central third to half of pronotum brown, with remaining regions of head</p> <p>(elytra removed), C) Male sternites VIII and IX.</p> <p>and pronotum yellow. Elytra brown with yellow spots. Abdominal tergites III-VII light brown, with segments sometimes margined in yellow; tergite VIII dark brown in apical two-thirds, with basal third yellow.</p> <p>Head. Dorsal surface distinctly microreticulate. Eyes not bulging or protruding, in same plane as dorsal surface of head, and forming continuous, unbroken outline laterally (Fig. 2). Antennal scape elongate, about as long as pedicel and antennomere III combined; antennomeres III-VIII short and similar in size; segment VIII elongate, slightly asymmetrical, as long as antennomeres III-VII combined. Frontoclypeal suture present. Maxillary palp 4-segmented; palpomere III greatly swollen, with apical palpomere small and partly recessed into apex of previous palpomere.</p> <p>Thorax. Dorsum of elytra covered with moderately long setae; base of each seta set in arched groove, such that surface appears to have rough sculpturing (Fig. 3). Lateral margin of elytra slightly attenuated in posterior half; mesad apex evenly rounded, without tooth or projection. Metathoracic wings well developed, with marginal fringe (condition of wings examined in approximately 50 specimens, including both males and females). Metacoxae with ventral plate-like extension restricted to mesal half, only covering extreme base of femur. Trochanter with 6 sharp, thickened, spinelike setae along lateral margin (Fig. 4A).</p> <p>Abdomen. Tergite IV not materially differentiated from remaining abdominal segments; without dense patch of setae; set with few thickened setae anteriorly (Fig. 4B). Tergite VIII of males slightly tapered to blunt, flat distal margin; tergite VIII of females narrowly tapered, with small shallow emargination at apex. Sternite VIII of males with deep, asymmetrical notch apically; left side of notch set with row of 4, thickened curved setae (Fig. 4C). Females with segment IX apparently absent or reduced, such that segment VIII appears as last visible segment (Fig. 5A). Males with segment IX well developed and exposed, such that it appears as last visible segment; tapered to acute point in apical third (Fig 5B). Aedeagus with short forked base articulated to basal bulb of long, filamentous median lobe (Fig. 6).</p> <p>Etymology. The name is a Latin participle and adopted for the yellow patterning on the dorsum.</p> <p>Biology. The vast majority of specimens were collected at a few collecting events in the early dry season (January) in streams flowing over solid granite (Fig. 7). During these collecting events, large numbers of specimens were collected in shallow (&lt;5 cm) marginal areas that were connected to the stream but represented side pools, and not actively flowing. Algae were growing on the rock substrate. Specimens were not collected in nearby rock seepages or by scrubbing the rock substrate in the stream flow, suggesting the species occupies a very narrow habitat along the slack margins of streams with rock substrate. While slightly fewer than 500 specimens were mounted, the species was present in the thousands at the type collecting event.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039BCE70972D0F04FD76FD6DABA8FC4A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
