XXXV, fig. 3A. Remarks In the absence of males this variation was originally distinguished based on differences in the female genitalia. We have found only one record of breviata as a species ( Freytag and Gaiani 2002 ) but as the authors did not formally publish the elevation we continue with the variation name until males are found to clarify the situation. Taxonomic notes As a result of the consistency of some genital features of Euragallia species , three complexes were established, as follows: declivata , magnicauda and major . The former is based on the shaft of aedeagus bearing one pair of very long and narrow dorsal processes, sometimes even extending posteriorly as far as aedeagal apex. It includes the species E. declivata , E. capixaba and E. lata . The second complex, magnicauda , is characterized by the very large segment X with a well-developed pair of processes. It includes E. magnicauda , E. attenuata , E. striata , E. confibula , E. puntarenensis , E. magnificentia and E. goemansi sp. nov. The third group has a much smaller segment X, with or without a pair of processes, and aedeagus not bearing very long dorsal processes. It includes E. major , E. furculata , E. nervata , E. albopunctata , E. machaera , E. prion , E. calibera , E. separabilis , E. mejdalanii sp. nov. and E. adelinae sp. nov.
