Polypedilum (Uresipedilum) cultellatum Goetghebuer. Lengths of legs (in m).</p> <p>Hypopygium (Figs. 6C–K). Anal tergite bands weak not fused basal to median anal tergite setae. Anal tergite with 3–11, 7 median setae, laterosternite with 2–4, 3 setae. Anal point narrow, relatively short and tapering apically. Phallapodeme 75–122, 97 m (14) long; transverse sternapodeme 28–50, 37 m (11) long. Gonocoxite 125–190, 157 m long. Superior volsella 38–55, 46 m long, moderately to strongly projected posteriorly, base with 0–2 inner setae and 3–5 apical setae, microtrichiae present; apicomedial projection 28–43, 33 m long. Inferior volsella 88–109, 99 m long, swollen subapically with 10–16 oral setae and 1 apical seta. Gonostylus 123–180, 152 m long. HR 0.85–1.17, 1.04. HV 1.75–2.46, 2.10.</p> <p>Distribution: The species is widely distributed in the Holarctic region. It occurs in both Palaearctic and Oriental China. This is the first record from the Oriental Region.</p> <p>Remarks: Niitsuma (1992) mentioned that he had cultured an egg­mass of this species and examined 71 reared adult males. He found that about 90% males had 2–3 apical setae on the superior volsella while 10% had 45 apical setae. The size of the apicomedial projection varied between individuals and had no relationship to the number of apical setae.</p> <p>Maschwitz and Cook (2000) regarded P. subcultellatum as a synonym of P. cultellatum. Sublette (1964) noted P. subcultellatum having yellow brown thorax with dark vittae and postnotum, abdominal tergites light brown, posterior third of tergites I–VI shade darker; inferior volsella not widened, gonostylus short and widest at base. Niitsuma (1992) described the species largely yellow to yellowish green with dark or dark brown vittae, postnotum and preepisternum; inferior volsella swollen subapically, gonostylus nearly parallel­sided and widest in the middle. Among examined material from China, the specimens collected in Tianjin and Sichuan resemble P. subcultellatum in body coloration, remaining specimens identical to the description of Niitsuma (1992). The inferior volsella of all Chinese specimens is subapically swollen. The only exception is the material from Tianjin without inner seta (Fig. 6F) and with a much stronger apicomedial projection on the superior volsella.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/F96C87F3556AFFE91E7BF96AFE6DD4AA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
