Diagnosis. Male imago:
1) dorsal portion of turbinate eyes oval (
Fig. 20
H); 2) dorsal portion of turbinate eyes in lateral view without constriction; 3) dorsal portion of turbinate eyes stalk height 0.75 × height of dorsal portion; 4) turbinate portion of compound eyes (in lateral view) with anterior and posterior margins divergent; 5) forewing hyaline (
Fig. 21
G); 6) marginal intercalary veins paired (
Fig. 21
G); 7) hind wing hyaline (
Fig. 21
H); 8) costal process of hind wing rounded; 9) marginal intercalary veins on hind wing absent (
Fig. 21
H); 10) abdominal terga VII – X darker (
Fig. 20
H); 11) abdominal sterna covered with spots, all sterna with one medial mark on anterior margin (
Fig. 20
G); 12) abdominal sterna with pair of medioanterior and medioposterior sigilla weak pigmented (
Fig. 20
G); 13) forceps segment I wide at base (
Fig.
21
I); 14) forceps segment III oval (
Fig.
21
I).
Female imago:
1) forewing with C and Sc areas pigmented overpassing R1, after R2 pigmentation with large degree of intensity (
Figs. 21
A, 21C, 21E); 2) marginal intercalary veins paired (
Figs. 21
A, 21C, 21E); 3) hind wing usually with one brown mark near costal process (
Figs. 21
B, 21D); 4) costal process of hind wing rounded (
Figs. 21
B, 21D); 5) marginal intercalary veins on hind wing absent (
Figs. 21
B, 21D, 21F); 6) abdominal terga I –VIII with anterolateral spot, terga II – IX with medial longitudinal mark, terga III, V and VII laterally with inverted V mark (
Figs. 20
A, 20C, 20E); 7) abdominal sterna covered with spots, with one medial mark on anterior margin (
Figs. 20
B, 20D, 20F); 8) abdominal terga with medial longitudinal mark (
Figs. 20
B, 20D, 20F).
Mature nymph:
1) maxillary palp shorter than apex of galea-lacinia (Fig.
80 in
Nieto 2008
); 2) below maxillary palp insertion on outer margin without tuft of robust spine-like setae (Fig.
80 in
Nieto 2008
); 3) paraglossa with row of spine-like setae on ventral surface (Fig.
81 in
Nieto 2008
); 4) segment III of labial palp apically rounded (Fig.
81 in
Nieto 2008
); 5) metanotum without spines; 6) foretarsus anterior surface without spine-like setae (Fig.
82 in
Nieto 2008
); 7) hind claw denticles smaller than foreclaw denticles (Fig.
84 in
Nieto 2008
).
Comments.
The nymphs of
C.
(
C.
)
willineri
and
C.
(
C.
)
zonalis
are similar, but they can be differentiated by the length of the maxillary palp, which is shorter than the galea-lacinia in
C.
(
C.
)
willineri
and longer in
C.
(
C.
)
zonalis
. Cruz
et al.
(2014) equivocally presented a female
C.
(
C.
)
willineri
labeled as
C.
(
C.
)
guttatus
(see more comments about similar species and its differentiation in
C.
(
C.
)
guttatus
and
C
. (
C.
)
jocosus
).
We present photographs of the female imago and male imago (
Figs. 20
A–20H).
The specimens studied by Navás (1915) from San Miguel, Buenos Aires, Argentina, were not found, thus a lectotype was not designated.
