( Fig. 23 ) Description . Small species. Male. Head. Antenna with fourth flagellomere 2.1 times as long as wide. Maxillary palpus with third palpomere bearing 3 curved sensilla; fourth palpomere with a parasegment apically. Thorax. Anterior basalare and laterotergite each bare. Episternum 3 with ventral portion setose. Wing. Length 1.3 mm . Membrane with a very few setae along posterior margin. Sc bare. Junction of CuA2 into CuA1 incomplete. Terminalia ( Fig. 23 ). Sternite 9 with only posterior margin distinct, even though very faint; margin situated at mid length of gonocoxites, broadly rounded to almost straight. Ventro­lateral lobes of gonocoxites marginally each with 1–2(–3) larger setae; interiorly with 1 seta on a separate rim. Disto­lateral lobes of gonocoxites large; with large setae directed posteriorly and shorter setae directed inwards. Gonocoxites in position I+II with 2 medium­sized, blunt megasetae on separate lobes, and 2 short, blunt megasetae on another lobe; in position III with 2 flat megasetae, one megaseta broadly rounded apically with tiny, pointed processes, the other broad with a whip­like tip; in position IV with 3 large setae. Gonostyli very small, dorso­posteriorly with a weak lobe; each with 1 large and 1 fine setae apically and 1 strong, stiff seta directed dorsally. Parastylar lobes large, weak, bare (not illustrated). Parameral apodemes widely spread. Tegmen narrow in distal half. Hypoproct broadly rounded apically; with fine, rather short setulae laterally. Diagnostic characters . It is in the group of species with both anterior basalare and laterotergites bare; terminalia with sternite 9 barely discernible; the disto­lateral lobes of the gonocoxites large; and the gonostyli small and flat. The array of megasetae dorsally on the gonocoxites is species specific. (Note, in particular, the megaseta on a finger­like lobe in position I). Etymology . Derived from Limón , the name of the province where so many Manota species , including this one, were collected. Types . Holotype . Male.
