Dagualachesilla
n. gen.
Diagnosis
. Belonging in the
Graphocaeciliini
. Ocelli absent. Forewing veins with a row of conspicuous setae, except on Cu2. Hypandrium with sides and posterior border distinctly thickened. Endophallus large, formed by a compact group of small sclerites. Aedeagal arch projected posteriorly in the middle. External parameres broad, with a slender, distal projection. Posterior border of clunium, over the area of the epiproct, with a broad, elongate, curved, spatulate posterior projection that covers most of the epiproct. Male paraprocts with a distinct, elongate sclerotized anterior projection, joined to clunium. Female subgenital plate with a median concavity posteriorly; gonapophyses joined to clunium,
V1
absent, and
V 2
+3 elongate, joined to clunium, distally pointed, with a row of macrosetae along outer border.
Etymology.
The generic name is a compound word formed with Dagua, the municipality where the two species of this genus were found, and
Lachesilla
.

(

)
Diagnosis.
Male with distal end of abdomen bulbous (
Figs 1
,
8
); hypandrium setose, rounded posteriorly, broad, with sides and posterior border distinctly thickened (
Fig. 7
). Phallosome broadly triangular (
Figs 10, 11
). Posterior border of clunium, over the area of the epiproct, extended posteriorly to form an elongate, curved, spatulate projection, wider distally, with posterior border almost straight (
Fig. 12
). Aedeagal arch attached below and laterally to external parameres, with a stout, blunt ended, slightly knobbed on sides, posterior projection (
Figs 10, 11
). Female subgenital plate broad, densely setose, with a median concavity in the middle of posterior border (
Fig. 16
); IX sternum thick, pigmented, almost rectangular; gonapophyses elongate, narrowing distally, with a membranous area of small spicules near the inner border of the distal third, with long setae along outer border (
Fig. 15
).
Male
.
Color
(in 80% ethyl alcohol). Tawny brown, compound eyes black, legs pale brown, forewings darker than the hindwings. Tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax brown, abdomen creamy, with brown, transverse subcuticular rings, little pigmented ventrally (
Fig. 1
). Clunial projection brown, setose; epiproct and paraprocts pale brown.

Morphology.
As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head with abundant setae (

Fig. 4
). Hindwing L/W: 2.89 (
Fig. 5
). Endophallus with sides deeply concave, slightly concave anteriorly, almost straight posteriorly. Paraprocts (
Fig. 9
), broad posteriorly, setae restricted to the mid lateral and posterior areas, with a field of small spicules posteriorly, next to the posterior macrosetae; sensory fields with 16 trichobothria in basal rosettes. Epiproct (
Fig. 12
), elongate, posteriorly rounded, with fields of setae mesally and along posterior border.
