( Figs 3 , 51–64 , 73, 74 ) Length . Male holotype 3.8 mm; male paratypes 3.6–3.7 mm; female paratype 4.0 mm. Description ( holotype ) . Head and thorax (color) . Ground color brownish-yellow. Crown ( Figs 51, 52 ) with five maculae as follows: dark brown pair approximately equidistant between eyes and median line, dark brown pair near inner margin of eyes, and inconspicuous brown one medially. Face ( Fig. 52 ) with brown, incomplete inverted Y-shaped macula between ocelli; with pair of dark brown maculae adjacent to ocelli. Frons ( Fig. 52 ) with several irregular brown maculae forming pair of lateral rows; clypeus brown on lower portion; genae with dark brown macula adjacent to antennal bases. Pronotum ( Fig. 51 ) with four distinct maculae: one dark brown pair, elongate, adjacent to anterior margin and one brown pair, round, on median region. Mesoscutum ( Fig. 51 ) with pair of lateral, triangular dark brown maculae; mesoscutellum with irregular brown macula at median region. Forewings with conspicuous, elongate brown macula on costal anterior area, veins on basal half partially covered by brown marks. Male genitalia . Pygofer ( Fig. 53 ), in lateral view, with posterior margin with scattered setae ( Fig. 54 ), bearing process with bifurcate apex directed inward ( Fig. 55 ). Subgenital plates ( Fig. 56 ), in ventral view, elongate, subtriangular, fused to valve and to each other along basal half, narrowing gradually towards apical 1/4; apex broad; in lateral view ( Fig. 53 ), extending posteriorly slightly beyond pygofer apex. Styles ( Fig. 57 ), in dorsal view, well developed, outer fork small and rounded, inner fork larger with basal portion strongly curved and apical portion digitiform. Connective ( Fig. 64 ), in lateral view, linear, fused to aedeagus; in dorsal view, with form of short linear bar. Aedeagus ( Figs 58, 59 ), in lateral view, with basal region well developed, subtriangular; shaft directed ventrally and then dorsally beyond basal region, posterior half with ventral and dorsal keels. Anal tube ( Fig. 53 ) with segment X bearing pair of elongate processes, directed caudoventrally, with hook-shaped apex ( Fig. 60 ); segment XI with spiniform projection on inferior margin. Female (color) . Abdominal sternite VII ( Fig. 61 ) yellow; laterotergites of segment VIII yellow; pygofer ( Fig. 61 ), in ventral view, with outer lateral margins brown; gonoplacs brown. Other features similar to those of the male holotype . Female genitalia . Abdominal sternite VII ( Fig. 61 ), in ventral view, with oblique posterolateral margins and small emargination on apical portion. First valvulae, in lateral view, dorsally curved from base; dorsolateral surface with oblique rows of scale-like processes on distal 1/2 of shaft; ventroapical region with scale-like processes; apex acute. Second valvulae ( Fig. 73 ), in lateral view, dorsally curved from base, with broadest point at apical 1/4; dorsal prominence inconspicuous; small teeth ( Fig. 74 ) along apical 1/3 of dorsal margin; denticles may be present on teeth; ventroapical region with tiny teeth; apex of shaft subacute. Gonoplacs as in A. dutrai sp. nov. Intraspecific variation (male paratypes ) . Crown ( Figs 62, 63 ) without brown macula on median region; face ( Fig. 63 ) with Y-shaped macula more conspicuous than that of the holotype . Pronotum, mesonotum ( Fig. 62 ), and forewings may present larger brown areas, being distinctly darker than in the holotype . Aedeagus ( Fig. 64 ) without ventral keel. FIGURES 48–50 . Agalliopsis sp., female. (48) Crown, pronotum and mesonotum, dorsal view; (49) face; (50) apical portion of abdomen, ventral view. Etymology . The species epithet, mutabilis , refers to the intraspecific variations observed in the color pattern and aedeagus shape. Type material . Holotype : male, Brazil , “ Viçosa , MG [Minas Gerais State], Brasil \ Data 13/I/1987 \ P. S. Fiuza F. [Ferreira]” ( DZRJ ). Three paratypes with same data as holotype , except: one female “ 29/IX/1992 ” ( DZRJ ), one male “ 27/I/1982 ” (UFV), one male “ 05/III/1987 ” ( MNRJ ).
