Description
Male. ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 )TL: 14.28 ± 1.2; Pn: 3.32 ± 0.70 × 5.99 ± 0.48; Tg: 2.29 ± 0.22. Red-black ( Figure 1A View Figure 1 ). Vertex slightly exposed. Ocellar spots present. Interocular distance longer than distance ( Figure 1B View Figure 1 ). Pronotum subcampaniform. Tegmina lobiform, apically rounded, extending up anterior margin of metanotum. Hind wings absent. Forefemur type A 2 ( Figure 1C View Figure 1 ). Hind metatarsus as remaining tarsomeres combined, pulvilli apical; first and second tarsomere armed with ventral and spines, third and fourth tarsomeres are with pulvillar spines only, ventral margin covered by
HISTORY covering much of the supra-anal plate ( Figures 1E View Figure 1 and 2A View Figure 2 ). Supra-anal plate shallowly incised, each apically rounded ( Figure 1F View Figure 1 ). Paraprocts simple. Cerci short and stout, minutely pointed. Subgenital symmetrical ( Figure 1G View Figure 1 ). Styles short, similarly sized. Male genitalia ( Figure 1I View Figure 1 ): L1 divided, distal part covered with scutes; L3 scythe-like, with distinct sub-apical tooth at the base of the bent; L4C broad margin angular with row of minute spines; L4D broad; L4G basally rounded, with posterior fold; R1G rounded; R1H with apical spine; R2 anteriorly with deep-mesal invagination. R3 triangular, apically
Female. TL: 15.76 ± 0.56; Pn: 3.79 ± 0.74 × 6.31 ± 0.57; Tg: 2.47 ± 0.32. Similar to male. Sixth and abdominal tergite covered with minute glandular setae. Seventh abdominal tergite weakly bilobed, produced, covering much of the supra-anal plate ( Figure 2B View Figure 2 ). Supra-anal plate symmetrical, the hind subtruncate; paraprocts (pp.) broad and similar, with subapical invagination. Ovipositor (Figure Gonapophysis VI (v.I) elongate and slender, covered with numerous spine-like setae. Second valve small and slender, basally fused, connecting to third valve (v.III) by membrane. Third valve larger than valve but smaller than first valve, with weakly sclerotised and curved apex, basal portion fused and raised. Well-developed basivalvula (bsv.) strongly sclerotised, asymmetrical. Spermathecal plate triangular, weakly sclerotised. Spermatheca branched, the leading duct very short, the branching relatively long, rod-shaped ( Figure 2D View Figure 2 ). Laterosternal shelf (ltst.sh.) broad, rectangular, membranous margins; Posterolateral extension (p.e.) membranous, triangular. Subgenital plate symmetrical.
Etymology
Adjective, feminine. Derived from ‘sur’ meaning South and ‘tagalica’, referring to their distribution Southern Tagalog, Luzon.
Remarks
Members of this micropterous species are abundant under leaf litter along the forest floor. In live the broad sixth and seventh tergites are often covered with white sticky substance ( Figure 3B–C View Figure 3 ) likely a defence mechanism against predators.
