Species of the genus Peracca Griffini, 1897 occur in Malay Peninsula, Singapore, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and some smaller islands of that area. Seven species of Peracca have been known during my revision of the SE Asian Agraeciini (Ingrisch 1998), plus three species of the genus Odontoconus Fritze, 1908. The species of this group received some interest more recently (Gorochov 2011, 2015, Tan and Ingrisch 2014), which led to downgrading the rank of Odontoconus to a subgenus of Peracca, the description of another new subgenus and the description of nine new species in Peracca, thus that currently Peracca is split into three subgenera with a total of 18 valid species (Cigliano et al. 2020).

After Odontoconus had been downgraded to a subgenus of Peracca by Gorochov (2011), a re-evaluation of the species left in that subgenus became useful. The type species P. (O.) spinipes (Fritze, 1908) is a fully winged species described from a single female from Borneo. It is a slender species with very low pronotum lateral lobes. The other three species currently kept in the subgenus were described from Java and Sumatra. Of them, only P. (O.) lampungi Gorochov, 2011 has a similarly shaped body, but shorter wings as the type of Odontoconus, and it is a male. Peracca (O.) setosus (Ingrisch, 1998), a female, agrees in general appearance with Odontoconus, but is much stouter. The relations of these three species may be re-evaluated after both sexes of them become known. Only for P. (O.) robustus (Karny, 1923), described from a single female, both sexes became known after the discovery of males in the BMNH and the BMH. This allows a new evaluation of its status and makes it necessary to establish a new subgenus for this and another new species found in the ZMH.

Odontoconus robustus Karny, 1923.

The name of the new subgenus is built from a combination of the root of the name of the type species with the ending of the genus name.

The stout general habitus of the new subgenus and the rather high lateral lobes of pronotum resemble the situation in the genus Liara, but the spine behind the ventro-anterior angle of pronotum, the strongly modified male cerci and the absence of sclerotized titillators agree with the genus Peracca. The new subgenus contains stout, robust species with large head. – Head and pronotum rugose. Fastigium verticis with a dorsal process. Pronotum with lateral lobes rather deep compared to other subgenera of Peracca, less than twice as long as high; at ventral margin with a small spine behind anterior angle. Fully winged, wings surpassing abdomen but not reaching tip of ovipositor in female. Tegmen markedly narrowed in apical third. Prosternal spines long with acute tip. The male cerci have the internal branch prolonged and curved backward at end, the apical process is laterally compressed and pointing straight behind instead of being downcurved as in the subgenus Odontoconus, it is provided with spinules along dorsal margin but is missing a narrow ventral branch that occurs in most species of the subgenus Odontoconus. A so far unique character is the markedly narrowed prolongation of the male subgenital plate that is divided and upcurved at end and has the styli reduced to small and short, acute conical spines while in all other subgenera of Peracca s.l. the males have subgenital plates with truncate or slightly concave apical margin and with distinct, normal styli.

The Latin word robustus does not accept different gender forms.

1 female (holotype): Singapore: Bukit Timah (1°20'N, 103°47'E), 23.viii.1911 – depository: BMNH (B.M.1937–197); 1 male, Malaysia, Selangor, Ampang (3°10'N, 101°46'E), 1.iii.1948, coll. H.T. Pagden – depository: BMNH (B.M.1955–354); 1 male, Malaysia, Rompin Mining Co. (Rompin 2°48'N, 103°27'E), Railway Track, 50 km, 31.iii.1961, coll. K.J. Kuncheria – depository: BMH Honolulu.

The species was originally described from a single female from Singapore by Karny (1923). Its treatise in Ingrisch (1998) was based on Karny’s description and a single male from SE Pahang in Malaysia. Meanwhile I could study the female holotype and another male from South Malaysia, which are used for a re-description.

Head with fastigium verticis markedly projecting anteriorly, on top in basal area with a roughly cylindrical process that has the apical area narrowed and rounded (Fig. 2F, I). Pronotum with rounded fore and truncate hind margin; apical area in male little elevated backwards in male, flat in female. The two central spines at the ventral inner (anterior) margin of the fore femur are markedly enlarged. Prosternum with 2 long spines. Tegmen wide in subbasal area then markedly narrowed to about apical third; tip rounded (Fig. 1E). Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: profemur 6 external, 5–6 internal; mesofemur 6 external, 3 internal; postfemur 12 external, 13–14 internal. Knee lobes of pro- and mesofemur obtuse on external, spinose on internal side; of postfemur uni-spinose on both sides.

The name of the new species refers to its black face; from Latin niger, nigro black and frons face.

The new species differs from the type species, P. (R.) robustus by the black color of the face instead of agreeing with general coloration (Fig. 2A), by the longer and conical process on top of fastigium verticis (Fig. 2C) instead of a shorter, subcylindrical process in P. (R.) robustus (Fig. 2C, I), and by the female subgenital plate that has a bilobate end (Fig. 3E) instead of a subtruncate apical margin (Fig. 2F).

1 male, Indonesia: Sumatra, Sungei Kumbang, Korinchi (1°48'S, 101°16'E), 1370 m, 1.–30.iv.1914 – depository: BMNH (Lo042S001). Second record for this species.

The genus contained so far three subgenera: Liara, Acanthocoryphus Karny, 1907, and Unalianus Koçak & Kemal, 2009 (replacement name for Oxystethus Redtenbacher, 1891 because of homonymy) (Cigliano et al. 2020). In this publication a fourth subgenus and two new species are described.

(male). Hongkong [without precision], in or before 1911, coll. F.W. Terry – depository: BMNH (Lo031S001; B.M.1911–359). The type is unique.

The new species is named for the sclerotised central convexity of the male titillators, modified from Latin durare to harden, hardened.

The titillators of the new species are intermediate between those of the subgenera Liara s.str. and Unalianus Koçak & Kemal, 2009 in that they are fused as in Unalianus but of general shape as in Liara; the membranous lateral expansions are sclerotised but the apical areas not as strongly prolonged as in Unalianus. Judging from the shapes of the cerci and titillators, the new species comes close to Liara (Acanthocoryphus) brevis Ingrisch, 1998. It differs by the long and upcurved fastigium verticis which is almost twice as long as the scapus instead of only little longer and has a strong tubercle at base. Further differences are the fused titillators, the very small styli, and shorter wings. The cerci are similar in both species but in the new species less wide at base and the apical branches more curved.

A short and stout, strongly brachypterous species (Fig. 4A). Fastigium verticis much longer than scapus, strongly upcurved; with a large tubercle at top near base, immediately followed by a smaller tubercle anteriorly; apex acute; separated from fastigium frontis by a narrow seam (Fig. 4C, D). Frons rugose (Fig. 4B). Pronotum rugose, short funnel-shaped, only in apical area little shouldered; anterior margin in middle truncate; posterior margin truncate; transverse sulci only indicated; paranota with anterior angle rounded, posterior angle broadly rounded; auditory swelling very weak; humeral sinus weak. Tegmen surpassing apex of third abdominal tergite, hind wings of almost same length (Fig. 4A). Prosternum mute; mesosternal lobes long and stout; metasternal lobes obtuse; intermedial plate with small spines at posterior angles (Fig. 4F). Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: profemur no external, 2–3 internal; mesofemur 4 external, no internal; postfemur 6–7 external, no internal. Knee lobes of profemur obtuse on external, short spinose on internal side; of mesofemur acute on external, spinose on internal side; of postfemur spinose on both sides.

Paraprocts with short obtuse compressed projections. Cerci short, at apex divided into a broad falcate dorsal and a narrow falcate ventral projection, both curved up; on internal side with a weak furrow from dividing point of apical projections to base (Fig. 4J, K). Subgenital plate with straight converging lateral margins; apex broad, deep triangularly excised; styli very small. Titillators fused in middle; basal areas furrowed, pointing laterad; fused area at apex faintly bilobate; lateral expansions of central parts (“lateral sacculi” in Ingrisch 1998) sclerotised, bulging, then curved and diminishing, largely surpassing tip of fused parts, terminating in an acute tip (Fig. 4G–I).

Uniformely yellowish brown. Frons reddish brown; mandibles black; tip of fastigium verticis especially on ventral side black. Pronotum with indication of brown lateral bands near hind margin only. Tegmen with dark spots. Meso- and metasternal lobes dark brown with tips of lobes yellowish brown.

Liara (Indoliara) dividata Ingrisch sp. nov.

The new subgenus resembles the genus Liara sensu stricto in general shape, basic coloration, and the shape of the long, substraight and laterally compressed female ovipositor that is dorso-ventrally widened in about mid-length. It differs by the strongly modified shape of the male cerci that are shorter and hood-shaped instead of laterally compressed and the ventral branch is rather thin, rounded, and inserted at base of the internal side of the main branch, it is angled about in mid-length and reaching only about the middle of the main branch instead of surpassing it in the nominate subgenus. Moreover, a small spine that is found at tip of the main cercus branch in some species of the nominate subgenus moved to about mid-length of the internal side of the main branch in the new subgenus and species. The male titillators are simplified in Indoliara and consist of long but simple, elongate bases that are bent lateral at tip terminating into a long-narrow oval, granular endplate while in Liara s. str. there are often lateral expansions and the tip of the titillators is serrate.

The tip of the fastigium verticis is markedly divided at end into two short lobes; but this might be a species-specific character since a very fine, inconspicuous notch at tip of the fastigium verticis can rarely be also found in species of Liara s. str., e.g. in L. alata Ingrisch, 1998)

The name of the new species refers to the shape of the fastigium verticis that is divided into two short apical cones; from Latin dividere to divide.

This is the so far only species in the subgenus. Its differences to the species of the other subgenera of Liara are discussed above under Indoliara subgen. nov.

Fastigium verticis longer than scapus, with a minute tubercle at top; apex bifurcate and slightly S-shaped, separated from fastigium frontis by a shallow furrow, but connected in middle by a lamella (Fig. 5I). Frons rugose (Fig. 5B). Pronotum rugose, funnel-shaped; anterior margin broadly rounded but slightly concave in middle; posterior margin truncate or nearly so; first and second transverse sulci interrupted on disc; shoulders little marked; paranota with anterior and posterior angles rounded; ventral margin very little sinuate, almost straight; tympanal swelling weak but well delimitated; humeral sinus distinct. Prosternum mute; meso- and metasternal lobes conical, short; intermedial plate with small spines at posterior angles (Fig. 5J). Tegmen covering abdomen, regularly narrowing from basal widening to rounded tip (Fig. 5A, H). Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: profemur no external, 5–8 internal; mesofemur 6–9 external, no internal; postfemur 10–11 external, no internal; all with irregularly alternating large and minute spines.

Paraprocts with compressed, conical projections. Cerci conical, compressed, apex rounded; dorso-external surface concave; ventro-internal surface convex in apical half, with a broad, oblique, transverse furrow in basal half; with an acute spinule behind furrow and a thin process at very base; process conical at base, rectangularly bent dorsad in about middle, strongly compressed thereafter, apex with acute tooth on proximal side (Fig. 5D). Subgenital plate with lateral areas strongly curved dorsad; lateral margins almost straight, approaching each other posteriorly; apex broadly truncate with strong and dense hairs, hairs also on dorsal (= internal) surface in middle of apical area. Styli long, longer than half the length of the subgenital plate, unsymmetrical (Fig. 5G).

The name of the new species refers to the type locality.

The shape of the male cerci is similar to that in P. bispinosa obtusa Ingrisch, 1998 but has the ventral branch very narrow, regularly upcurved throughout instead of substraight behind the basal bent and reaches the top of the cercus stem (Fig. 6K–L). The titillators have a rather long fused central area, also as in P. b. obtusa, but the free arms are narrower than in the latter species (Fig. 6M). The female differs from that of the other species by the shape of the ovipositor that is only little dorso-ventrally widened around mid-length and by the shape of the subgenital plate that is split to the base allowing the base of the ovipositor to project between the lateral lobes (Fig. 6D).
