Tretogonia dentalis

Diagnosis.
Male:
pygofer processes, in ventral view, sharp, with dentate apex, and curved toward the midline without crossing; style rounded apically; aedeagus with a pair of dentiform small apical processes.
Female terminalia.
Abdominal sternite VII, in ventral view (
Fig. 11
), with lateral margins slightly convergent posteriorly, lateroposterior margins triangular, and posterior margin with a median concave emargination; surface with scattered microsetae. Pygofer, in lateral view, not produced posteriorly; surface with scattered microsetae and a few macrosetae on posterior and ventral regions. First valvifers, in lateral view, subsquare; with small spiniform processes on ventral region. First ovipositor valvulae, in lateral view, rectilinear beyond basal curvature; dorsal sculptured area formed mostly by linear processes arranged in oblique lines; ventral sculptured area formed mostly by scale-like processes; apex acute (
Fig. 23
), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins. Second valvulae, in lateral view, broadened beyond basal curvature; dorsal margin of blade bearing 34 to 36 continuous teeth, each tooth subtriangular, with denticles on anterior and posterior margins (
Fig. 35
); ducts extending toward teeth; apex rounded (
Fig. 47
), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins; preapical ventral prominence conspicuous. Gonoplacs, in lateral view, with spiniform processes on ventral margin; apex rounded.
