Male terminalia structures of Trichadenotecnum quaesitellum , showing terminalia in lateral view (A), epiproct in posterior view (B), hypandrium in ventral view (C) and phallosome in ventral view (D). Etymology: The specific epithet derives from ‘Cerro de la Silla’ (Saddle Mountain), an emblematic feature of Monterrey, Mexico , where the holotype of the species was collected. Description: Male . Head . White in ground colour; vertical and orbital markings blackish brown; coronal suture black; frontal suture bordered with narrow pale brown band dorsally; frons with pair of blackish brown circular spots laterally; eye black, IO/D = 1.0; ocelli white, ocellar field black; antennal socket bordered with broad blackish brown band; gena blackish brown except rectangular white portion dorsally; postclypeus with c . eight rows of blackish brown spots at middle, fused with each other ventrally forming a large marking, ventro-lateral corner white, lateral margin of postclypeus blackish brown, dorsal margin without marking; anteclypeus brown. Antenna pale brown, pedicel and scape brown. Mouth parts blackish brown; third segment of maxillary palpus pale brown. Thorax . Prothorax brown. Mesonotum white; anterior surface of scutum brown; anterior margin of lateral lobe of scutum black; posterior region of scutum with pair of brown markings at middle; scutellum white, median part and anterior margin brown; postnotum brown. Metanotum brown, with three whitish oval spots on posterior regions of scutal lobes. Meso- and metapleurites brown with longitudinal white band medially. Legs. Coxae dark brown; femora brown except middle part of fore and middle femora white; tibiae pale brown, with darker portion near distal ends; tarsi brown. Forewing ( Fig. 17E ). Rather sparsely covered with small spots. Spots in cell a 1 distinct, distal one larger, basal one paler. Opposing spots in cell r very small but distinct. Proximal band narrow, strongly constricted just beyond fork of M + Cu. Distal band narrow and faint in cell r 5 , fragment of band in cell r 3 large. Spot on roof of cell m 3 large and dark. Submarginal spots apparent; spots in cells r 1 , r 3 and m 3 small, sometimes indistinct. Marginal clouds faint. Hindwing. Hyaline, cell CuP with faint brownish spots; veins brown. Abdomen . White, each segment with blackish brown band laterally, dorsum sparsely with irregular blackish brown markings, 6th to 8th venters blackish brown. Terminalia . Clunial arm ( Fig. 23A ) long and narrow, slightly sinuated, free from membrane apically, antero-ventrally with membranous lobe covered with fine setae. Anterior margin of 8th sternum ( Fig. 23C ) with semicircular extension medially; fusion with hypandrium narrow. Epiproct lobe ( Fig. 23B ) almost as long as wide, dorsal margin strongly sinuated, posterior surface almost flattened. Paraproct ( Fig. 23A ): ventro-lateral band indistinct; distal process broad. Hypandrium ( Fig. 23C ) with rugose region laterally; left process almost straight, directed postero-internally; right process projected outward, then strongly bent postero-internally near base; median tongue broadened apically, apical margin sinuated, dorsal keel triangular. Phallosome ( Fig. 23D ): pseudoparameres broadly separated, longer than wide, directed dorsally, apical margin rounded or somewhat truncate. Phallobase narrowing to pointed anterior end, anterior end with tiny triangular projection. Figure 23.

Length . B 2.2–2.5; FW 3.0–3.9; HW 2.1–2.9. Female . Colour and general morphology almost as in male; eye IO/D = 2.0. Genitalia : Egg guide of subgenital plate ( Fig. 24A ) broadened at distal end, postero-lateral corners strongly angled, apical margin arched, with very shallow notch at middle; body of subgenital plate with pair of sclerites extending antero-medially. Dorsal valve of gonapophyses ( Fig. 24B ) with short distal process; posterior lobe of external valve strongly projected posteriorly. Internal plate as in Figure 24C . Length . B 2.9; FW 3.1; HW 2.2. Distribution: Mexico .
