A new species of Nectopsyche Müller, 1879 (Trichoptera: Leptoceridae) and notes on the adults of Nectopsyche splendida (Navás, 1917) Author Neto, Pedro Bonfá Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Museu de Entomologia, Departamento de Entomologia, Viçosa, MG, Brasil. bonfa.pn@gmail.com Author Salles, Frederico Falcão text Revista Brasileira de Entomologia 2023 e 20220103 2023-03-27 67 1 1 8 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1806-9665-rbent-2022-0103 journal article 10.1590/1806-9665-RBENT-2022-0103 1806-9665 10665203 Nectopsyche splendida ( Navás, 1917 ) urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: BF630BFE-A504-461C-A9EF-C6F329E1B9F6 ( Fig. 2 D-F & 4A-H) Literature records: Navás (1917) [ Argentina ]; Navás (1923) [ Argentina ]; Flint (1972) [ Argentina and Colombia ]; Flint (1982) [ Bolivia , Paraguay , Peru and Venezuela ]; Flint (1991) [ Roraima , Brazil , Ecuador and Guyana ]; Flint (1996) [ Peru ]; Almeida and Marinoni (2000) [ Paraná , Brazil ]; Paprocki et al.

(2017) [ Maranhão , Brazil ]; Henriques-Oliveira et al. (2018) [ Minas Gerais , Brazil ]. Many of the literature records of N. splendida listed by Flint (1972 , 1982 , 1991 ), such as Bolivia , Colombia , Paraguay , Ecuador , Peru , and Venezuela , did not include specific locality data. For some of these countries, additional information was provided in other papers ( Flint, 1996 ; Ríos-Touma et al., 2017 ) or are available from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility ( GBIF , database). For others countries, such as Colombia , Guyana , and Paraguay , no specific locality data are known. The species is frequently captured near larger rivers ( Flint, 1991 ) and at lower altitudes ( 10 m – 800 m ), but it has been recorded at 1200m ( Henriques-Oliveira et al., 2018 ; GBIF , 2022). According to the characteristics of the male genitalia, N. splendida belongs to the candida-group species [i.e., simple elongated preanal appendages ( Fig. 4B and 4C ), slender straight inferior appendages ( Fig. 4B ), and basoventral process of the inferior appendages digitate ( Fig. 4A and 4B )].
