, male. 1) Head, frontal view; 2) Palpal segment 3, right; 3) Flagellomere 2; 4) Wing; 5) Paramere; 6) Terminalia, lateral view. Scales in millimeters.
Diagnosis.
Clypeus at most 0.3 times the length head. Male: gonocoxite with a basal tuft of 1 to 4 setae, of which one is large and the other if present very small; nearly all specimens observed from
Mexico
has only the large setae; gonostylus with the internal spiniform setae originated at middle of structure; wing with delta small or similar than 0.33 the alpha length; diameter of the basal apex of ejaculatory apodeme about 4.0 times the diameter of ejaculatory apodeme at middle; lateral lobe shortest than gonocoxite. Female: palpal segment 5 as long or shortest than 1.25 the length of 3 segment; spermatheca thin, the apical annulus as wide as the preceding one; individual spermathecal ducts longer than spermatheca (
Galati 2003
).

(

This is the first record in
MEXICO
.
Remarks.
One specimen from
Guadalupe
Miramar, show a teratology in the gonostylus as it presents two median setae, so the spiniform setae formula of gonostylus is 2+ 1+ 2+
1 in
both sides. All other diagnostic characters correspond to
Lu. (Hel.)
hartmanni
. Females of this species are anthropophilous.
