54 Natura Somogyiensis Figs 3-4: Thorax pattern of Maezous maezousi sp.n. (Fig. 3), Malesianus harisi (Ábrahám, 2008) (Fig. 4) two rows, dorsal side covered with long white hairs. Tibiae yellow distal part shining brown with short black hairs and long stiff black bristles. Tarsi dark shining black only distal ends of segment 5 brown with stiff, shinning and black bristles. Tarsal segments 1-4 equal; segment 5 as long as segments 1-4 combined on fore and middle legs. Tarsal segments 1-4 as long as segment 5 on hind leg. Tibial spurs reddish brown as long as segment 2 together. Claws reddish brown. Wings'. Forewing: 35-36 mm long and 9 mm wide. Hindwing: 27-28 mm long and 7.5 mm wide. Membrane transparent with brown shadow on both sides of cross-veins in costal area near subcosta (Sc) and right below radius (R). Pterostigma brown, somewhat longer than wide with 4-5 brown cross-veins. In apical area beyond pterostigma membrane also transparent and tinged with brown shadow (Fig. 1). Longitudinal and crossveins yellow to brown. Apical area beyond vein Sc+R with 3 (or 2) rows of cells. In front of origin of Rs 7-8 radial cross-veins took place in forewing and 4-5 in hindwing. Colouration of hindwing similar to forewing but below radius without brown shadow. Hind pterostigma with 3-4 cross-veins. Abdomen: 32-34 mm long. Tergite 1 divided dorsally; yellow with long, soft and pale hairs. Tergites brown. Tergite 2 as long as wide with long dorsal black hairs. Tergit 3 short stiff lateral black setae. Stemites yellow with narrow indistinct medial band. Stemite 2 white with lateral brown marks (may be meal-like powder present on last segments). Genitalia'. Tergite 9 triangular-shaped and covered with sparse short setae in lateral view. Caudo-ventral apex acute with 5-6 long stiff and black bristles. In lateral view (Fig. 5) ectoproct subrhomboid-shaped, lateroventral projection papilla-like hardly visible with long stiff and black bristles curved caudally. Stemite 9 pentagonal-shaped, brown and covered with short, stiff and black setae in ventral view. Gonarcus slightly elongated, arch-like, fused with parameres (Figs. 6-7). Caudal margins of parameres serrated (Fig. 8). Pelta small. Pulvini bag-like with moderately long dense gonosetae. Habitat and seasonal activity. It flies at lights in tropical rain forest from April to July.
