Male
(
Figs 103–108
)
Diagnosis.
Belonging in species group
anchicayaensis
, of Subgroup MPB2A (see Classification below). It is close to
T. camentsa
González, Carrejo & García Aldrete
, differing from it in having the central sclerite of the hypandrium broadly U-shaped, with the lateral posterior processes stout and distally rounded (less stout and distally straight in
T. camentsa
). Anterior endophallic sclerites long and triangular, with the apices directed posteriorly; lateral sclerites long, robust, wider in the middle, narrowing to the posterior ends; mesal sclerite broadly H-shaped, posterior sclerites long, slender, distally acuminate, with two pointed processes on the inner borders. Endophallic sclerites distinct from those in
T. camentsa
(compare
Fig.
108
in this paper, with
Fig.
92
in González-Obando, Carrejo & García Aldrete (2017)).
Color
(in 80% ethanol). Body brown, with cream and ochre spots. Head pale brown, with dark brown pattern (
Fig. 105
). Compound eyes black, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Maxillary palps pale brown, Mx4 darker.Antennae pale brown, flagellomeres with cream apices. Tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax brown; pleurae pale brown, with small ochre spots. Legs pale brown, coxae with small dark spots on base and apex. Forewings hyaline, with brown spots on veins ends; a marginal pigmented band from R
4+5
to CuA
1
. (
Fig. 103
), pterostigma with brown band distally, veins brown. Hindwings hyaline, veins brown (
Fig. 104
). Abdomen cream, with ochre areas; hypandrium, paraprocts and epiproct light brown; endophallic sclerites dark brown.
Morphology
. As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head (
Fig. 105
): H/MxW: 1.61; H/D: 2.37; IO/MxW: 0.63. Vertex slightly emarginate, slightly below the level of the upper border of the compound eyes. Outer cusp of lacinial tips broad, with four wide denticles. Mx4/Mx2: 1.32. Forewings (
Fig. 103
): L/W: 2.73. Pterostigma: lp/wp: 5.57. Areola postica elongate, slanted posteriorly: la/ha: 2.26, CuA
1
gently concave distally. Hindwings (
Fig. 104
): l/p: 3.04. Hypandrium (
Fig. 107
) of three sclerites. Phallosome (
Fig. 108
); external parameres rounded distally, with abundant short teeth on the external margin and well sclerotized inward conical process, with pores. Paraprocts oval, with abundant short and medium sized setae and macrosetae on apical third, two macrosetae with spatulate apices, other near sensory fields, these with 29 trichobothria on basal rosettes (
Fig. 106
). Epiproct (
Fig. 106
) wide, broadly rounded posteriorly, setae as illustrated.
