SYSTEMATIC PART Cixius (Tetracixius) pinivorus sp. n. (Figs 10-19) Holotype - Male: "SPAIN, Catalonia, Torreta de I'Orri, Portainé, 25.V.2001, leg. A. Orosz". Wing preparate No. 01-11-007. Paratypes: two males, seven females, with the same data as the holotype. The holotype and seven paratypes are deposited in the Hemiptera Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, the remaining two paratypes (1 male, 1 female) enrich the collection of the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. Description - External morphology. Measures: Body length from tip of head to tips of wings 5.64-5.68 mm (males), 6.6-6.92 mm (females); maximum body width on the abdomen 1.58-1.63 mm (males), 2.12-2.28 mm (females); fore wing length 4.8-4.84 mm (males), 5.56-5.92 mm (females); fore wing width 1.57-1.63 mm (males), 1.84-2.0 mm (females). The rate of the minimum width of vertex-irons transition (between the lateral carinas) and the maximum width of the frons is 1:2.34-2.42 in the males while this rate is 1:2.1-2.38 in the females. The frons is continued abruptly in the clypeus on the ventral side, the clypeus is not prominent; the medial and lateral carinas are well-developed. The pattern of this region is shown in Fig. 12. The area above the medial ocellus is conspicuously glossy black from a horizontal line towards the tip of the head, ochreous-brownish markings can be found only on the carinas and the frons-vertex transition. The edges of the carinas are dark brown or black. The areas between the epistomal suture and the lateral carinas are patternless white; the central section of the postclypeus and the entire anteclypeus ochreous-brown. The legs, the thoracic sternites and the abdomen are also ochreous-brown, without striking maculation. The frons is tapering towards the tip of the head, the transitional part between the lateral carinas is about half as wide as the maximum width of the frons (see Fig. 12). The vertex is divided by a reversed V-shaped keel (Fig. 15), the ochreousbrownish ground colour is mottled by symmetrical dark brown spots along this keel. The pronotum is deeply incised medially in a sharp angle, the ground colour of the medial part is pale ochreous brown, the sectors below the eyes and the oblique lateral ridges are shining dark brown. The ridges of the mesonotum are well-developed, the medial part is pale ochreous brown, the lateral parts outside the ridges are dark brown. The first segment of the hind leg tarsus is armed with a crochet of eight spines, in the second segment the internal six spines are rudimentary while the two marginal spines are well developed. Some of the rudimentary spines (1-3, depending on the specimens) may be continued in a narrow, acute, spine-like black process.
