( Fig. 7 ) Description . Small species. Male. Head. Antenna with fourth flagellomere 1.8 times as long as wide. Maxillary palpus with third palpomere bearing (3–)4(–5) curved sensilla; fourth palpomere with a small process apically. Thorax. Anterior basalare and laterotergite each setose. Episternum 3 with ventral portion setose. Wing. Length 1.5 mm . Membrane with a few setae along posterior margin. Sc bare. CuA2 fading away proximally. Terminalia ( Fig. 7 ). Sternite 9 largely merged with gonocoxites; only posterior margin distinct, situated at almost same level as posterior gonocoxal margin, straight or very slightly emarginate; on interior surface with extensive scale­like pattern; on exterior surface densely covered with setae, sometimes with a small non­setose area medially. Distolateral lobes of gonocoxites absent. Gonocoxites in position I+II with 12–14 thick, blunt and pointed setae on lobe; in position III+IV with 1 pointed megaseta. Gonostyli short, slightly bilobed; ventral lobe on inner margin with some 5 large setae increasing in length posteriorly; dorsal lobe on posterior margin with some 4 large setae curved dorsally. Parastylar lobes large, rounded; each with some 5 setae posteriorly. Tegmen strongly narrowed in distal half, very wide basally with dorsal portions of tegmen extending laterally beyond width of parameral apodemes. Hypoproct tapering to tip; with long setae disto­laterally. FIGURE 7. Manota squamulata sp. n. A: Male terminalia, ventral view (holotype). B: Male terminalia, dorsal view (paratype from Cerro Puma). Scale = 0.1 mm. Diagnostic characters . Together with M. major (next species), this is the only species with both the anterior basalare and laterotergites setose. The terminalia with sternite 9 are largely merged with the gonocoxites and with a scale­like pattern on the interior surface; disto­lateral lobes of the gonocoxites are absent; gonostyli are stout and with large setae apically; and the parastylar lobes are large and setose. Etymology . From Latin, squamulatus , with small scales, referring to the interior surface structure on sternite 9. Types . Holotype .
