Description
Summary:Discothyrea maia Hita Garcia & Lieberman sp. n. (Figs. 4L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 9L, 10L, 11L, 12L, 13E, 14L, 41, 42; Supp Video S12 [online only]) Type Material Holotype, pinned worker, ZIMBABWE, Chishawasha, [−17.883, 31.227], 1535 m, I.1981 ( A. Watsham ) (BMNH: CASENT0790541). Cybertype. Volumetric raw data (in DICOM format), 3D rotation video, still images of surface volume rendering, and 3D surface (in PLY format) of the physical holotype (CASENT0790541) in addition to stacked digital color images illustrating head in full-face view, profile and dorsal views of the body.The data are deposited at Dryad (Hita Garcia et al. 2019, http://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.3qm4183) and can be freely accessed as virtual representation of the type. In addition to the cybertype data at Dryad, we also provide a freely accessible 3D surface model of the holotype at Sketchfab (Model 12). Diagnosis The following character combination distinguishes D. maia from the remainder of the complex: abdominal sternite 3 not rectangular Model 12. 3D surface model of D. maia sp. n. holotype (CASENT0790541). An interactive version of this model is available in the HTML version of this article online and at https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/a26ae6a2819a4473a6b 83152e2e82dff. in profile, ventral margin rounded; mesosoma somewhat slender but not especially gracile (LMI 53; DMI2 81), dorsally convex in profile; propodeum denticulate denticles well-developed, propodeal declivity strongly concave; erect pilosity absent from mesosoma and abdominal terga; eyes absent; frontal lamella with elliptical basal fenestra.
