Marilia sp. 2 = Marilia siolii n. sp.
(Pl. XXXVII; fig. 1-10.)
Adult
The debris of the broken up adult which were find in this exuvie nymphale
cannot obviously provide us a complete description, however we can quote
some characters of systematic importance here. The formula calcarien
is
not 2/4/4; the posterior femurs present towards their end an external
line of 16 long sensory silks inserted in a soquet surrounded of a hyaline
aureole slicing on the entirely testacée color of the appendix.
The genitalia show a ninth segment finely velvety; the gonopodes are
short, statements towards the face dorsal, biarticulés, the rather thick
basal segment with an external ventral peak and very many umbilicated
silks; it seems, with the interruption of the external peak, divided into
two; on the whole it reaches three times the distal record length; this
one small, oval, is rounded with the end with very short spines below
and at the end. There is a sheath with the penis, foliaceous, dilated
with the end, somewhat out of broad and blunt spearhead: this sheath is
not other than the tenth segment flattened and widened in wings. The penis
is cylindrical and extends lengthily inside the abdomen. The préanaux
appendices are lengthened, hardly narrowed with the end, extremely hairy,
at node rounded, they exceed the gonopodes backwards but are a little
shorter than the sheath pénienne. In spite of the insufficiency
of the characters known up to now it is very probable that this species
quite distinct from Marilia is known to date.
The absence of the wings does not make it possible to usefully compare
them with the already known species which were especially described on
the basis of wing characteristic. We are pleased to give to this new species
the name of its recoltor, Dr. H. SIOLI, which always expressed for our
work a great interest.
