Description
Summary:Aspicera minutispina Belizin 1952 (Figs 13a & b) Aspicera minutispina Belizin 1952: 298 Type material: (1♂) HOLOTYPE male deposited in ZIN, with the following labels: “Holotipus, Aspicera minutispina m ♂, V. Belezin det” (handwritten, red label), “Amginsk-Yakut highway, the river Amga, Yakutia (Eastern Siberia), 15.8.925, Bianki” (in Russian, white label), “ Aspicera minutispina Belizin, 1952, det. P. Ros-Farré 2004” (white label). Diagnosis . Aspicera minutispina is not similar to other Aspicera species. Scutellar disc is swollen posterior to scutellar foveae, but sharply depressed on central area. Scutellar foveae are coriaceous anteriorly and longitudinally carinate posteriorly. Scutellar spine is very short, 0.2 times length of scutellar disc. Redescription Length. Male 3.32 mm.; female unknown. Coloration . Head, mesosoma and metasoma black. Coxa and trocanter black, remaining leg segments medium to light brown. Scape and pedicellum black, flagellomeres black on dorsal surface and dark brown on ventral surface. Head . Frons coriaceous, with sinuous longitudinal carinae. Lateral frontal carinae straight and divergent. Area between compound eye and lateral frontal carinae with fine transverse carinae. Gena in lateral view rounded, slightly expanded, coriaceous, transversely carinate. Vertex only slightly incised, coriaceous, with some punctate and rugose sculpture. Ocelli slightly prominent. Occiput conspicuously coriaceous, with very fine transverse carinae on basal 2/3, few short longitudinal carinae behind ocelli. Antenna . Filiform, flagellomeres slightly swollen in central area. F1 clearly excavated. Antennal formula: 12(6.5): 4(5.5): 12(5): 11(5): 11(5): 11(5): 10(5): 10(5): 10(5): 10(5): 9(5): 9(4.5): 9(4.5): 16(4). Mesosoma . Lateral surface of pronotum coriaceous, with small transverse carinae, incomplete on dorsal half. Subpronotal plate not projected, dorsal margin with very short and scattered setae. Scutum sharply coriaceous, with very weak transverse carinae. Lateral line conspicuous, ...
