Ábrahám Levente – Mészáros Zoltán: megjegyzések a deleproctophyllac gelini (navás, 1919) morfológiájához (neuroptera: ascalaphidae)

REMARKS TO THE MORPHOLOGY OF DELEPROCTOPHYLLA GELINI 335 dark brown with long brown hairs. Flagellum brownishyellow with narrow brown ring of each segment distally. Segments 1—4 with long rather sparse brown hairs, flagellar segments otherwise with very rare short black setae. Brownish-yellow club subglobular-shaped with flattened apex, but apex of the club segments rather yellow with short brown verticils. Bristle of club small brown. Thorax: Pronotum short brown but strongly flexed upwards; anterior and posterior margins yellow with pale hairs on both margins. Lateral projection brown anteriorly with brownish hairs, yellow posteriorly with pale hairs. Mesonotum: Prescutum yellow with larger irregularshaped brownish pattern and dark brown stripe broadening outwardly. Mesoscutum yellow on dorsum but with large indistinct brown pattern laterally. Mesoscutellum dark brown, yellow, brownish and yellow broad alternating stripes transversally. Brownish stripe along the suture longitudinally. Hairs on mesonotum pale rather sparse medium long and on mesopterothorax long pale. Metanotum: Postnotum yellow with dark brown stripe in the middle longitudinally, hairless. Metascutum and metascutellum yellow with brownish stripe in the middle longitudinally and with medium long pale hairs. Sides yellow with short sparse pale and white hairs. Legs yellow. Coxa, trochanter with long soft white hairs but short stiff black hairs on femora, tibia and tarsus. Tarsal segments 2—4 as long as wide; segment 1 a bit longer than wide, segment 5 twice as long as wide on all legs. Tibial spurs black as long as segment 1 or bit shorter. Planta with bristles, 2 of them almost as along as claws. Claws rather long black. Wings elongately oval about 3* longer than broad with rather acute apices. Forewing and hindwing subequal, hindwing slightly shorter than forewing. Forewing: 21—22 mm long, 7—8 mm wide. Hindwing: 17—18 mm long, 6—7 mm wide. Membrane transparent with larger Z-letter-shaped brown brand crossed the radial area but not reaching M1 on forewing. Rather elongately brown spot right under R extending from Rs originated towards pterostigma and dark brown area at Fig. 3. Male ectoprocts in dorsal view the base of wing. С yellow with short covering smoothly black setae. In costal area membrane tinged brownish or brown, veins yellow at the base of wings but brown distally. Sc and R also yellow short sparse brown setae. Pterostigma rhomboid-shaped, brown with 4—5 yellow cross-veins. Apical area beyond vein Sc+R with three rows of unequal cells. The other longitudinal veins mostly brown except basal part of wings yellow where the membrane brown pigmented. 5 radial cross-veins in front of origin of Rs in forewing, 2 in hindwing. Hindwing colour and pattern similar to forewing but preapical Z-letter-shaped cross-brand reaches the hind margin. Brown pattern under R around Rs originated on hindwing smaller than on forewing. Anal area of forewing obtusely angled, hairless. Ambient vein on anal area with long soft pale and brownish hairs. Abdomen: shorter than hindwing; 11—12 mm long, yellow with brownish or brown drawings. Tergite 1 split dorsally into a pair of lateral plates, yellow with extend brown pattern. Tergites 2—3 yellow with dark brown stripe in the middle longitudinally. The other tergites yellow with brownish spot in the middle distally. Hairs on tergite long sparse white proximally, but short black distally. Sternites yellow, hairs similar to tergites. Genitalia: Male. Tergite 9 fused with a central suture like inflection, subtriangular-shaped with small projection caudo-ventrally flexed outwardly; yellow with some scattered small brownish spots in lateral view. Setae medium long stiff black on projection and margin caudally. Ectoprocts strong not fused dorsally, yellow with an oval-shaped brown spot in lateral view. Ellipsoid-like forceps with club-like apex and with strong projection curved inwardly. Stiff black setae on ectoprocts in lateral view especially strong on rounded apex. Sternite 9 yellow, shorter than wide with two lateral projection curved caudo-ventrally and with a lobe centrally curved dorsally. Apices of both lateral projection rather subacute, while apex of lobe arched in
