FIGURE 15. Macrostemum ulmeri (Banks 1913) , right fore- and hind wings, dorsal view. A–B, variants. Macrostemum ulmeri can be distinguished from other Neotropical Macrostemum species by forewings characteristics. As reported by Banks (1913), Ulmer (1907a, as a variety of M. hyalinum ), Flint (1967, 1974, 1978, 1991) and the material examined in this study, M. ulmeri has a distinctly apical spot, well defined and paralleling the apical border of the forewings ( Fig 15 A–B). The forewing pattern shows some congruent patterns in comparison with M. hyalinum ( Fig. 11 A–D). Synopsis . Adults pinned. Forewing length 9.7 mm ( 9.54–10.07 mm , n=61). Head with small medial carina, sometimes entire blackish; blackish with yellow spots on pleural region and warts; or brownish on dorsum and yellowish on pleural surface. Compound eyes brownish. Scapes blackish, brownish or yellowish with ferruginous and golden setae. Maxillary palps entirely brownish, yellowish, or with both colors, covered by ferruginous and golden setae. Prothorax entirely blackish or with yellow brownish spot on each pleural surface. Meso- and metathoraces blackish, brownish or with both colors. Legs brownish-yellow. Tibial spur formula 2,4,4. Forewings dark and hyaline, each with three distinct spots beginning near middle of posterior margin and distributed toward apical area; apical spot well defined and paralleling the apical area; discoidal cell present; radial sector markedly expanded ( Fig 15 A–B). Male genitalia. Abdominal segment IX with a medial acuminate keel and long setae covering right and left sides (dorsal view); anterior margins sinuous; posterior margins sinuous, covered by setae and each with one deep notch (lateral view). Segment X bilobed with wart on rounded apex of each lobe (dorsal view); acuminate or truncate, with two longitudinal rows of setae near medial region (lateral view). Inferior appendages uniformly wide, each covered by small setae throughout its length and longer setae on dorsal surface; basal segment from two to three times length of apical segment. Phallus arched; apex truncate (lateral view); phallotremal sclerite without dorsal process; anterior margin concave and posterior margin bearing pair of large rounded prominences (ventral view); phallotrema rounded, concave on anterior surface of apex of phallus.

Macrostemum ulmeri was described by Banks (1913, as Macronema ulmeri ) without reference to genital characters. Ulmer (1907a) considered the forewing color pattern of M. ulmeri to be a variation of M. hyalinum . Distribution.
