Type material.
Holotype: ♂, China: Guizhou, Kuankuoshui , 11 August 2010, leg. Dai Renhuai. Paratypes: 5 ♂♂, same data as holotype ; 4 ♂♂, as holotype, but leg. Li Yujian ; 6 ♂♂, Guizhou, Kuankuoshui , 14 August 2010, leg. Yu Xiaofei ; 1 ♂, Sichuan, Lamahe , 26 July 2012, leg. Fan Zhihua .
Diagnosis.
The new species is similar to I. chiasmatica (Yu & Yang, 2014) , I. paravictor Xu, Lu, Dietrich & Qin, 2019 and I. longistria Xu, Lu, Dietrich & Qin, 2019 in having a well-developed aedeagal pre-atrium, with atrium bearing paired protuberances and aedeagus lacking dorsal apodeme with tubular shaft (Fig. 4 E – G View Figure 4 ). The new species differs from I. chiasmatica (Yu & Yang, 2014) in the following characters: male abdominal apodemes reaching the sixth abdominal segment (Fig. 4 A View Figure 4 ), ventral pygofer appendage not exceeding pygofer (Fig. 4 B, C View Figure 4 ) and enlarged portion of aedeagus spanning approximately half its total length (Fig. 4 E – G View Figure 4 ). It differs from I. paravictor Xu, Lu, Dietrich & Qin, 2019 , in having dorsal bridge of the pygofer occupying almost one-fourth the length of the lobe (Fig. 4 B, C View Figure 4 ), aedeagal atrium bearing pair of processes with equal length shorter than shaft (Fig. 4 F View Figure 4 ), and connective trapezoidal (Fig. 4 E View Figure 4 ). Finally, it differs from I. longistria Xu, Lu, Dietrich & Qin, 2019 , by the following characters: frontoclypeus brown laterally, with an irregular longitudinal yellow median stripe (Fig. 3 C View Figure 3 ); subgenital plate with 49 marginal setae (Fig. 4 J View Figure 4 ); and aedeagus lacking four small teeth along ventral margin (Fig. 4 F View Figure 4 ).
Description of male.
Body length ( n = 17): 5.0– 5.2 mm. Body stout (Fig. 3 A – F View Figure 3 ).
Head. Length of crown subequal to interocular width, shorter than median length of pronotum (Fig. 3 A, D View Figure 3 ). Vertex smoky yellow (Fig. 3 A, D View Figure 3 ). Ocelli yellow on anterior margin of vertex; eyes black (Fig. 3 A, D View Figure 3 ). Coronal suture brown, reaching near anterior crown margin (Fig. 3 A, D View Figure 3 ). Face broad; anteclypeus elevated medially; frontoclypeus and anteclypeus brown, with median yellow longitudinal oblong marking, remainder yellow (Fig. 3 B, C View Figure 3 ).
Thorax. Pronotum broad, anterior margin arcuate, anterior portion with irregular spots, posterior margin with light brown horns on both sides (Fig. 3 A, D View Figure 3 ). Mesoscutellum yellow, intershield grooves brown, posterior angle black (Fig. 3 A, D View Figure 3 ). Forewing outer margin with light brown markings; RP and MP′ veins fused basally, both originating from r cell; r cell longer than m cell, m cell wider than r cell and c cell (Fig. 3 E View Figure 3 ). Hindwing with CuA branched, branching point beyond intersection of CuA and MP′ ′ (Fig. 3 F View Figure 3 ). Prothoracic tibiae and claws brown, remainder of legs yellow (Fig. 3 B View Figure 3 ).
Abdomen. Abdominal apodemes broad, parallel, extending to sixth abdominal segment (Fig. 4 A View Figure 4 ). Pygofer with peltate posterior margin bearing fine setae; dorsal bridge about one-fourth lobe length. Ventral appendage not exceeding pygofer, with numerous fine bristles to subterminal part (Fig. 4 B, C View Figure 4 ). Subgenital plates with 4–6 basal setae, 49–51 marginal setae, 32–34 macrosetae and 38–40 long, fine setae, terminal half dorsally curved (Fig. 4 J View Figure 4 ). Paramere elongate, curved, terminal half with irregular margins, proximal portion with setae, terminally with few teeth (Fig. 4 E, H View Figure 4 ). Aedeagus without dorsal apodeme, pre-atrium well developed; atrium with a single pair of processes not exceeding shaft apex (Fig. 4 E, G View Figure 4 ). Anal styli thick, apex irregular with small, fine projections (Fig. 4 I View Figure 4 ). Connective nearly trapezoidal, with distinct median depression dorsally (Fig. 4 E View Figure 4 ).
Female. Unknown.
Distribution.
China ( Guizhou, Sichuan).
Etymology.
The name of the new species is the Latin adjective “ pilosus, - a, - um ”, meaning “ hairy, pilose ”, referring to the fine bristles on the ventral projection of the caudal segment.
Comparative notes.
The new species runs to I. longistria (in couplet 3) in the identification key provided by Xu et al. (2019), owing to the presence of paired ventrobasal processes on the aedeagus that are branched at their bases and a glabrous (not pubescent) ventral pygofer appendage. The following modification of the key enables separation of the two species:
