Scale bar = 0.3 mm. Diagnosis. The new species shares the ellipsoid shape of the inferior appendages (in lateral view) and the apex of tergum X produced on the left side (in dorsal and lateral views) with O . manuensis being the most similar species. However, the new species has a robust tergum X, but O. manuensis has a narrow, triangular tergum X, tapering toward the apex. Also, the new species has each inferior appendage with a row of 3 or 4 long, basal spines on the inner margin, but these spines are absent in O. manuensis (see Flint & Bueno-Soria 1999 ). The new species can be distinguished from all other species in the genus by having a robust tergum X, with each side of the base having an obliquely pointed lateral process in dorsal view, and the inferior appendages each having a row of 3–4 long, stout basal spines on the inner margin. Description. Male adult (n = 2). Total body length 2.46–2.52 mm ; length of each forewing 2.10–2.18 mm . General color dark brown (in 80% alcohol) ( Fig. 5A ). Head with three ocelli; dorsally with two pairs of setal warts; ocellar pair closely appressed on midline, each subtriangular; posterolateral pair large, ellipsoid ( Fig. 5B ). Metascutellum subpentagonal ( Fig. 5C ). Wing venation nearly identical to that of O. belodes sp. nov. except that r and r-m crossveins present in forewings and apparent r-m crossvein (actual base of M 1+2 ) present in hind wings of this species ( Figs 6A, 6B ). Tibial spur formula 0, 3, 4. Abdominal sternum VII with triangular mesoventral process ( Fig. 7B ). Genitalia . Segment IX, in lateral view, with upper anterolateral margins concave, mesoventrally produced; upper posterolateral margins produced posterad, apically blunt, each side with small, claw-shaped lobe below this process ( Figs 7A 1 , 7C ); in dorsal view, with deep U-shaped cleft posteriorly, dorsolateral lobes large, almost as long as tergum X ( Fig. 7E ); in ventral view, subrectangular ( Figs 7G, 7H ). Tergum X in lateral view long, apex obliquely truncate, dorsally sclerotized, mesoventrally membranous ( Fig. 7A 1 , 7A 2 ); in dorsal view, not divided, with each side of base having obliquely pointed and triangular lateral process, broad sub-hexagonal base ( Fig. 7E ); apex setoff from basal portion, produced on left side and semi-membranous on right side ( Fig. 7E ). Inferior appendages in lateral view ellipsoid; long (2.5× as long as wide), apically round ( Figs 7A 1 , 7C ); in dorsal view, surpassing tergum X, each with inner surface bearing numerous long, spine-like setae around apex and on mid-basal ridge ( Fig. 7E ); in ventral view, with row of 3 or 4 long, thicker basal spines on inner margin ( Figs 7G, 7H ). Phallus simple, tubular, elongate, 3.6× longer than inferior appendages, and thread-like ( Figs 7D, 7F ). FIGURE 7.

Scale bars = 0.05 mm. Female and immature stages . Unknown. Distribution. BRAZIL (Amazon: Amazonas State) ( Fig. 1 ). Etymology. This new species is named in honor of Dr. Joaquín Bueno-Soria (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México - Mexico ) in recognition of his contributions to the knowledge of Neotropical caddisflies, especially to the study of the microcaddisflies.
