Ipamerica
,
gen. n.
Type-species:
Ipamerica auctuncus
sp. n.
Diagnosis
. In facies,
Ipamerica
is similar to some species of
Ricula
Heinrich. However
, the former differs by having a distinct incision of the termen beneath the apex of the forewing (lacking in
Ricula
) and in the reduction of the terminal row of spots (conspicuous in
Ricula
).
Description
. Head: As in other Grapholitini. Thorax: Venation in forewing with R5 to termen beneath apex, M3-CuA1 widely separated basally, chorda from midway between R1-R2 to base of M1; M-stem atrophied. In hindwing all veins separate, except M3-CuA1 connate. Abdomen: Male genitalia with tegumen long with slender pedunculi; uncus slender, broadening basally; socii absent; gnathos and tuba analis weakly sclerotized; valva long, slender; sacculus moderately convex with ill-defined angle; ventral incision of valva indistinct, neck broad; cucullus long, slender, densely spined, rounded caudally; aedeagus broad, tapering ventroterminally; cornuti in examined specimen presumably deciduous, but about 20 sockets present. Female unknown.
Distribution and biology.
Known from Goias,
Brazil
. Adults were collected in September and October at an elevation of
1000 m
.
Etymology.
The generic name is based on the name of the
type
locality of the type-species of the genus, Ipameri.
