Synopsis of Epipleoneura (Zygoptera, Coenagrionidae, “ Protoneuridae ”), with emphasis on its Brazilian species Author Pessacq, Pablo text Zootaxa 2014 3872 3 201 234 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3872.3.1 47ff6515-876a-4d83-b631-64004e51c683 1175-5326 230974 72ACE4FF-9A41-4D26-A201-01E020439899 Epipleoneura solitaria De Marmels, 1989 ( Figs. 17 , 51 ) Epipleoneura solitaria De Marmels 1989 : 21 –22, 63, figs. 59–63 (new species, description of male, illustration of male S 10 in dorsal, lateral and posterior view, genital ligula in ectal and lateral view, synthorax in lateral view, type material at MIZA). Garrison et al. 2010 : 352 , 354, figs. 2328–2329 , 2335 (included in list of species, illustrations of S 10 in latero-posterior, lateral and posterior view). Diagnosis. The cercus, epiproct and genital ligula of this species are unique within the genus. The cercus ( Fig. 17 ) is shorter than S10, without inner-basal branch or tooth, and the dorsal branch is directed dorsally, flattened and its inner surface concave, without apical hook; the ventral branch is small and also flattened dorso-ventrally. The epiproct ( Fig. 17 b–c) is long, with two relatively thick branches separated by a small distance and joined at their bases. The apex of segment 3 of genital ligula ( Fig. 51 ) has a rounded lobe on each side and a shallow V medial cleft. The postero-lateral projections are directed laterally and have the peduncle well developed. The epiproct of E. manauensis is similar to that of E. solitaria , but cercus and genital ligula are clearly different. Female unknown. Distribution. Southern Venezuela , Amazonas State ( type locality, Amazonas State, Río Negro, Canal Ocuene , Río Baría, about 1º20’N , 66º28’W ).
