Connective with wide cup (Fig. 17). Style with narrow and long capitulum, without lateral tooth (Figs 14, 15).</p> <p>Female. Coloration. General coloration of head and body including fore wings yellowish light brown with dense dark brown to black dots fused into tiny longitudinal stripes on abdominal tergites (Figs 3, 4). Metopial projection dark brown to shiny black apically and laterally (Fig. 3). Postclypeus yellowish light brown to black, with dark brown dots medially below metopial projection. Rostrum black apically. Scape dark brown. Pedicel dark brown to black outside and light yellow inside. Fore wings with whitish yellow costal margins. Legs with dark brown dots fused into marginal longitudinal stripes clearly visible on flattened fore tibiae. Tarsi dark brown to black. Abdominal tergites IV–VII with light yellow lateral margins. Abdominal sternite VII with dense dark brown dots fused into wide dark brown areas (Fig. 7). Anal tube light yellow, with wide dark brown median longitudinal stripe dorsally and ventrally. Gonoplacs dark brown from base to middle. Gonocoxae VIII dark brown except for light yellow proximal parts.</p> <p>Structure. Head and body including fore wings covered by sparse long setae. Metope and metopial projection dorsally with dotted grooves. Metope with weak sublateral carinae. Metopial projection wide and thick, in dorsal view, with weak constriction, slightly flattened laterally from the base towards its apex, smooth ventrally and laterally (Figs 3, 4). Pedicel cylindrical, with very long knife-shaped projection, flattened and pointed apically, and sensory organs covering also inner side of projection (Fig. 5). Rostrum reaching hind coxae; third segment short and cylindrical; second segment three times as long as third one (Figs 6, 9). Pronotum with smooth median carina. Mesonotum without carinae. Fore wings straight, not saddle-shaped, venation obscure (Figs 3, 4). Abdomen not curved in lateral view. Fore wings not reaching hind margin of abdominal tergite III. Fore tibiae slightly flattened. Hind tibiae with single lateral spine above their mid-length and five apical spines. First and second metatarsomeres as in males. Arolium, in dorsal view, not surpassing apices of claws. Abdominal sternite III massive, convex vertically (Fig. 7); sternites IV–VI deeply concave; sternite VII wide, with hind margin convex bearing median concavity (Fig. 7).</p> <p>Diagnosis. See the key below.</p> <p>Etymology. The species name is derived from the name of the Greek mythological character “Aτλας” – Titan supporting the pillars that separate the Earth from the Sky – and should be treated as a noun in apposition.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/E37CEE5AFFC5FFD7FC6BF951B9825B32	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
