Classification Triplocania Roesler presently includes 118 species, of which 18 are known from females only, 56 species are known only from males, and 44 species are known from both sexes. A first dichotomy divides the species in the genus in two well defined groups, on basis of the wing venation: a large group of 103 species, with venation caeciliusid ( e. g. forewing Rs of two branches, M of three branches; hindwing Rs of two branches, M unbranched), and a smaller group of 15 species, in which the forewing Rs is two branched, and M is dichotomously branched; as in the former group, the hindwing Rs is two branched, and M is unbranched. Silva-Neto et al . (2015) called the first group MPB (forewing M with only primary branches); the second group was called MSB (forewing M with secondary branches). Later on, in a monograph on the Colombian species of Triplocania , González et al. (2017) , established Group I (equivalent to the MPB group above), and Group II (equivalent to group MSB above), without acknowledging that they had been created by Silva-Neto et al . (2015) . Moura Lima et al . (2021) reviewed the internal classification of Triplocania , they found that the species in the group MSB, with subgroups MSB1, MSB2, MSB2A, MSB2B and MSB2C correspond to the species in Group II of González et al . (2017) , as follows: T. calcarata New, T. furcata New, T. furcatoides González, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. huilaensis González, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. lamasi Silva-Neto, Rafael & García Aldrete , T. lamasoides Silva-Neto, Rafael & García Aldrete , T. lamensuraensis González, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. leguizamoensis González, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. mariateresae Silva-Neto, Rafael & García Aldrete , T. newi Silva-Neto, Rafael & García Aldrete , T. otunquimbayaensis González, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. palaciosi García Aldrete & Casasola , T. plaumanni Silva-Neto, Rafael & García Aldrete , T. sarriae González, Carrejo & García Aldrete and T. pains Silva-Neto, García Aldrete, Rafael & Lopes Ferreira. Moura Lima et al ., (2021) diagnosed a Subgroup MPB1 as follows: hypandrium of one sclerite, side struts not expanded to form a shield, including the following species: T. awa González Obando, Carrejo and García Aldrete , T. bravoi Silva-Neto, Rafael & García Aldrete , T. caudata New, T. caudatoides García Aldrete , T. cervantesi García Aldrete , T. ferratilis Silva-Neto, García Aldrete, Rafael & Lopes Ferreira , T. halffterorum García Aldrete , T. immaculata New, T. chocoensis González-Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. garciamarquezi González-Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. huitota González-Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. litophila González-Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete and T. lucida Roesler. Moura Lima et al . (2021) also diagnosed a Subgroup MPB2 as follows: hypandrium of three sclerites, side struts not expanded to form a shield, including the following species: T. alfonsoi Silva-Neto, Moreira de Castro & Rafael , T. amacayacuensis González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. anchicayaensis González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. andaqui González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. arhuaca González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. asisensis González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. bicornuta González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. bifida García Aldrete , T. brailovskyana García Aldrete , T. brancoi Silva-Neto, García Aldrete, Rafael & Lopes Ferreira , T. bubuae González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. calima González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. calori Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael , T. camentsa González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. cantatis González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. capixaba Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael , T. dimitrii González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. ecuatoriana Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael , T. embera González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. erwini Silva-Neto, Rafael & García Aldrete , T. fapeam Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael , T. felidiaensis González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. humboldtiana González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. immaculata New, T. inpa Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael , T. kichwa González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. maesi García Aldrete , T. manauara Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael , T. mariacarmenae González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. mariaelinae Silva- Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael, T. mocoaensis González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. panchei González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. paranaensis Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael , T. pericosensis González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. pumas Silva-Neto, Moreira de Castro & Rafael , T. robusta García Aldrete , T. robustoides González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. rodoniensis García Aldrete , T. rugosa González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete , T. saslayensis García Aldrete , T. spinosa Mockford , T. tambopatensis García Aldrete , T. triangularis Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael , T. trifida Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael , T. umbrata New, T. umbrataoides Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael , T. vazquezae García Aldrete , T. yanacona González Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete and T. zairae Silva-Neto, García Aldrete, Rafael & Lopes Ferreira. Finally, Moura Lima et al. (2021) diagnosed a Subgroup MPB3, equivalent to the Magnifica Subgroup of Silva- Neto & García Aldrete (2019), to which we will return later. With respect to the MPB Subgroups above, some precisions are important: of the species in the Subgroup MPB1, T. awa , T. immaculata , T. chocoensis , T. garciamarquezi , T. huitota , T. litophila and T. lucida , must be transferred to Subgroup MPB2, as they have an hypandrium of three sclerites (cf. González-Obando et al., (2017). As for the Subgroup MPB2, T. immaculata is correctly included, but it had been included also in Subgroup MPB1. Also, T. ecuatorianaoides was not included. T. spinosa Mockford must be transferred to Subgroup MPB1, as the hypandrium is of one sclerite. On basis of the hypandrium structure, the males of the species in Subgroup MPB1 can be classified as follows: Species group annyae . Hypandrium straight anteriorly, sides deeply concave mesally, to form a large posterior lobe. Species included. Triplocania annyae Moura Lima , Silva-Neto, Bravo & García Aldrete.

Subgroup MPB3 (Species group magnifica , of Silva-Neto & García Aldrete (2019). This Subgroup deserves special mention, because one of its constituent species ( Triplocania magnifica Roesler ), has the hypandrium of three sclerites, a large central one, flanked by large, rhombiform side sclerites. The other two species in the group ( T. manueli Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael and T. rosae Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael ) have the hypandrium of five sclerites, a large central one, flanked by large elongate sclerites wider in the middle and one curved, spinose sclerite posteriorly on each side of the median process of the central sclerite. The three species share the same forewing pattern of pigmentation, having the side struts proximally expanded to form a shield and having v1 stout, wider in the middle.
