sp. nov.
(
Fig. 15–22
,
37–40
)
Diagnosis.
Crown (
Fig. 39
) with anterior margin acute; pale yellow with a X-shaped dark macula on anterior portion and triangular dark macula on posterior margin (extended over basal third of pronotum). Aedeagus (
Figs 21–22
) with shaft depressed dorsoventrally; laterally expanded at apical fourth, with pair of long lateral preapical processes; apex narrow with slightly concave margin.
Description of
holotype
.
Measurements (mm). Total length: 6.5.
Coloration.
Pale yellow (
Figs 37, 38
). Crown (
Fig 39
) with an X-shaped dark macula on anterior portion and a diamond-shaped dark macula extending from posterior third of crown to basal third of pronotum. Forewing hyaline white (
Fig. 16
) with a dark brown longitudinal band extending from mid-clavus to half-length of apical cells, narrow at base and widening towards the apex. Legs (
Fig. 38
) pale yellow, except for black ventral surfaces of protibiae.
External morphology.
Crown (
Fig. 39
) with anterior margin acute. Coronal suture (
Figs 39–40
) strongly elevated.
Male terminalia.
Pygofer (
Fig. 17
) approximately as high as long; macrosetae distributed only on posterior margin. Subgenital plate (
Fig. 18
) extended beyond pygofer apex. Aedeagus (
Figs 21–22
) with elongate, slightly sinuous, dorsally curved pair of atrial processes, shorter than shaft length; shaft depressed dorsoventrally, laterally expanded at apical fourth with pair of long lateral preapical processes, ventrally directed, about one-third of shaft length; apex narrow with slightly concave margin.
