Diagnosis.
Chlamydastis carolinagodoyae
can be distinguished from other members of the Vividella Species Group by its larger size (FW length
9.3–9.5 mm
); the FW pattern with an irregular, oblique, dark brown fascia; the male genitalia with the uncus long and truncated at the tip; the processes of the juxta conical; and the phallus with one short and one spinelike cornutus.
Description.
MALE (
Fig. 5
).
Head
. Frons cream; vertex and collar cream, intermixed with long yellowish scales; labial palpus cream, first and second segment with a lateral dark brown band reaching ca. 0.5 of second segment, small dark spot extending to tip of third segment; antenna with sensory setae ca. 1.5 times width of flagellomere.
Thorax
. Dorsum cream intermixed with yellowish green scales; tegulae pale greenish at base, cream distally. FW length
9.3–9.5 mm
; FW ground color cream, tinged greenish in basal 0.33, followed by a narrow irregular white band; pre-medial area whitish, post-medial area yellowish; a broad, dark brown, oblique fascia extending from near middle of costa towards tornus, terminating near lower margin of discal cell; similar colored blotch at midtermen. HW brownish gray.
Abdomen
. Externally brown intermixed with yellowish scales on second and third segments dorsally. Genitalia (
Fig. 53
) with uncus long, ca. 0.5 times length of valva, with truncated tip; valva as described for species group; distal termination of sacculus with a short, blunt, free tip; processes of juxta conical, broadest in basal 0.5; phallus with one short and one spinelike cornutus.
FEMALE.
Head
and
Thorax
. Essentially as described for male, except sensory setae of antenna short, sparse; FW length
10.3–10.5 mm
.
Abdomen
. Genitalia (
Fig. 91
) with papillae anales uniformly broad in basal 0.5, narrowed and diverging posteriorly; sterigma simple, bearing a distinctly rounded, setose, median lobe posteriorly; ductus bursae narrow, expanded into slightly sclerotized portion in middle, narrow posteriorly, with a sclerotized ring; corpus bursae membranous, pear-shaped; signum oblong, spiny, lacking sclerotization in narrow region through middle.
