description
Description complement. Head: with a transverse wide black band extended over the vertex, covering the region of ocellus and reaches the apex of the postclypeus; base of eyes marked with black; anterior margin of head slightly convex; postclypeus unmarked, oval in ventral view, the apex not prominent in dorsal view relative to the supra-antennal plates; anteclypeus and carina tawny; lorum black; rostrum with a tawny mentum and labium; labium short, reaching the base of basisternum 3, black at the apex. Pronotum: paranota visible in dorsal view, wide, not reaching the eyes in dorsal view, and straight in lateral view. Mesonotum: submedian sigillae marked with black laterally; basisternum 3 with very developed protuberances relative to the median insertion, closely spaced forming an acute angle; posterior margin angled; cruciform elevation not covering tergite 1; apex of the posterior projections of the cruciform elevation obtuse; operculum obtuse; wings hyaline; forewings:, basal vein of the second apical cell oblique; hindwings: radius vein straight. Abdomen subcylindrical, the length is equivalent to the combined length of the head and thorax in dorsal view; timbal cover tumid, middle third of anteromedial margin concave; tergites 2 to 8 marked with black anteriorly; sternite VII sub-rectangular. Pygofer sub-cylindrical; the basal lobe long, reaching the uncal dorsal crest.
description
Measurements (in millimeters). Holotype male and allotype female. Length of body: 24.3 and (missing); fore body length: 10.12 and 9.75; abdomen length: 11.5 and 10; width of head including eyes: 9 and 9.37; width of mesonotum: 7.5 and 7.5; wingspan: 63 and 64; total length including wings: 32 and 33; length of forewings: 28 and 28.5; width of forewings: 9 and 9.1 (Boulard and Martinelli 2011).
diagnosis
Diagnosis. The species can be distinguished from all other species of Acanthoventris gen. nov. by the following combination of features: anterior margin of head slightly convex; labium short, reaching the base of basisternum 3; tumid timbal cover. This species has a similar morphology to A. tumidus sp. nov. comb. nov. due the tumid timbal cover, but A. jauffreti comb. nov. can be distinguished by the concave medial margin of the timbal cover, and the apex of the basal lobe reaching the uncal dorsal crest.
