Distinguished from both by the presence of a perpendicular laminar structure on the internal region of the tegmen. It is distinguished from C. humeralis by the absence of a dorsal lobe on the tegmen, and from C. lunae sp. nov. by the sharp constriction next to the base of the right paramere and by the absence of a transparent region on the superior half of the right paramere. Etymology Noun in the genitive singular. Coilodes mayae Basílio & Vaz-de-Mello sp. nov. is named after Maya Basílio Dantas, younger niece of the first author.
