A diagnosis of  Anotia is given by Bahder et al. (2023). The genus can be identified using the key to New World  Otiocerini genera by Bartlett &amp; Hoch (2023). The most similar genus to  Anotia is  Sayiana Ball which is most easily differentiated by the latter genus possessing a large triangular lobe on the humeral margin of the forewing (e.g., Bartlett et al. 2014, fig. 64J), which is small and rounded (or absent) in  Anotia (e.g., Fig. 4).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B66187C54F4FFFEBFF74EEA6A2A8FCD1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Forewings with extensive brown and red coloration, leaving two larger areas translucent. Pygofer in lateral view with a dorsocaudal rounded lobe and ventral view with a rounded, medioventral process. Gonostyli in lateral view (just past midlength) bearing a short, laterally hooked tooth and larger obliquely oriented, rounded lobe.Aedeagus simple, shaft upcurved, endosoma simple, bilobed and sinistrally arched. Anal tube in dorsal view with two short apical protrusions, in lateral view with ventral margin nearly straight, dorsal margin elevated.</p><p>Description. Measurements (n=6) ♂ length body + wings: 4.85–5.45 (average 5.17) mm; length body: 2.75– 3.30 (average 3.08) mm; length forewing: 4.20–4.55 (average 4.36) mm.</p><p>Colouration. Base colour of body pale to brownish yellow (Fig. 2). Head white, in lateral view (Fig. 3B) with three slender red stripes from compound eye to margin of head; one from anterodorsal part of eye to anterodorsal margin of head and two stripes from anteroventral part of eye to anteroventral margin of head. Last segment of rostrum black contrasting with white proximal segments. Antennae with scape and pedicle brown (along with adjacent genae (Fig. 3A), pedicle medially suffused with reddish tinge (especially near sensory plaques); dorsal margin of frontoclypeal suture brown-shaded; clypeus white, washed with brown along ventral margin. Pronotum whitish (Fig. 3C), medially white, laterally with two reddish horizontal stripes, in lateral view with a small red spot behind compound eye. Mesonotum brownish yellow, medially lighter (in living specimens probably concolourous), carinae slightly lighter, apex nearly white. Legs yellowish white, forefemora with irregularly distributed red spots. Forewings translucent, with extensive brown patterning, and red colouration along veins in stigma and apical regions, (Fig. 4A); veins washed with red, especially along ScP, RP and MP, otherwise white. Hindwings with apex broadly brown. Abdominal tergites pinkish with red spots, sternites light brown.</p><p>Structure. Head (incl. eyes) 0.68 times the width of the pronotum. Vertex in dorsal view (Fig. 3C) narrowly triangular, 2 times as long as basal width, projecting in front of eye for about half of its length, medially deeply depressed (median carina absent), lateral margins postulate; anterior margin of vertex with small, rounded, concavity, posterior margin broadly rounded concave; in lateral view (Fig. 3B), head distinctly projected upward (bluntly conical in shape) above and in front of compound eye, with greatest length anterodorsad from eye, anterior margin of head convex, more strongly rounded ventrad forming an inflection at frontoclypeal suture (forming an angular inflection between plane of frons and clypeus); in frontal view (Fig. 3A) vertex distinctly raised above eyes. Frons strongly compressed, lateral margins in contact for entire length. Antennae with scape short and ringlike, pedicle in full-view broad, flattened and elongate, dorsal margin straight, ventral margin slightly rounded, apex dorsally emarginated; flagellum setaceous with bulbous base. Eye in lateral view round with small ventral emargination at antennae, ocelli absent. Rostrum barely attaining hind-coxae, with apical segment short.</p><p>Pronotum in dorsal view (Fig. 3C) narrow and inversely V-shaped, slightly wider laterally, median carina present, lateral carinae serpentine, directed obliquely on disc; in lateral view (Fig. 3B) with carina between eye and tegulae (forming lateral margin of pronotum from dorsal view); paradiscal region reaching antennae. Mesonotum 1.04× longer than broad (Fig. 3C), much exceeding (about 1.8x) combined length of vertex and pronotum at midline, weakly tricarinate, median carina reaching apex, lateral carinae parallel, fading before reaching caudal margin; in lateral view (Fig. 3B), mesonotum convexly raised with a subapical depression at proximal margin of scutellum. Spinulation of hind leg: 5-5-4 (hind tibiae lacking lateral spines).</p><p>Forewing spatulate (Fig. 4) with low elongate humeral lobe bearing marginal pustules, remaining costal margin straight, apex broadly rounded and hind margin widely triangular, wing broadest at level of cell C4’; composite vein Pcu_A1 reaching CuP before margin (i.e., clavus open); v MP basally fused with ScP+R forming elongate composite stem from basal cell; CuA anastomosing to form relatively large closed C5 cell (i.e., procubital cell of Emeljanov 1996). Branching pattern: RA 1-branched, RP 3-branched, MP 8-branched, CuA 2-branched.</p><p>Male terminalia. Pygofer in lateral view narrow (Fig. 5A), irregular in shape, narrow medially and at dorsal margin, widest ventrally; anterior margin concave, dorsocaudal margin bearing prominent rounded lobe; in ventral view (Fig. 5B) medioventral lobe rounded, just wider (at base) than tall. Gonostyli in lateral view (Fig. 6A) elongated and relatively slender, weakly upcurved, with ventral margin convex (slightly sinuate), dorsal margin bearing several projections, a small basal denticle, a laterally hooked projection near midlength near a more distal largobliquely oriented lobe, apex narrowing to a dorsally directed point; in ventral view (Fig. 6C) with lateral margins sinuate, weakly broadening toward blunt broad apex (apical margin slightly concave); inner ventral margin with a rectangulate plate (visible in ventral or dorsal view; Figs 5C, D), apical inner corner of plate with a short, medially directed, spinose process. Aedeagus (Figs 7A, B) simple, shaft upcurved and tubular, lacking processes except bearing a small subapical dentate flange on right lateral margin; endosoma simple, extending subapically (slightly laterad to right side), relatively simple, broadly bilobed distally and sinistrally arched bearing hooked and pointed apex. Anal tube (Figs 5A, C) attached dorsally near anterior margin of pygofer (thus covering the dorsal pygofer); in lateral view (Fig. 5A) broad and raised baso-medially, dorsal margin upsloped to highest point just before centre, then downsloped to apex; ventral margin nearly straight, apex narrow, acuminate, caudally directed; in dorsal view (Fig. 5C), sub-rectangular, lateral margins slightly converging; apex with lateral corners bearing blunt, short protrusions. Epiproct short, in dorsal view rectangular with apical margin straight, paraproct longer, conical.</p><p>Remarks. A single, decapitated, female specimen of the novel taxon from Curaçao is not included in the type-series, due to the poor state of the specimen. The wing pattern completely agrees with specimens from Bonaire and the specimen undoubtedly belongs to this species.</p><p>A specimen that fits in external characters with  Anotia posa sp. nov. was photographed on the Island of Mustique in the Grenadines by Mark de Silva. It very likely belongs to the same species, indicating that this species is probably much more widely distributed in the Caribbean.</p><p>Anotia posa sp. nov. appears superficially most similar to  A. sanguinea Fennah and  A. fitchi trinitatis Fennah, both from Trinidad (Fennah 1952). Fennah (1952) illustrates the forewing and male terminalia of both species. If the forewing pattern is rendered accurately,  A. posa sp. nov. differs in details from both species; however, there are some clear differences in male terminalia. In particular  A. posa sp. nov. bears a rounded lobe on the dorsocaudal margin of the pygofer, whereas in  A. sanguinea a similar lobe is triangular and pointed, and in  A. fitchi trinitatis it is pointed and located closer to the midpoint of the lateral margin. For both  A. fitchi trinitatis and  A. sanguinea the anal tube differs in shape from lateral view from  A. posa sp. nov. (in  A. fitchi trinitatis it is more elongated and distally downcurved, in  A. sanguinea the ventral margin is dentate rather than linear).</p><p>Anotia fitchi trinitatis is a subspecies of  A. fitchi (Van Duzee) from the eastern United States (doubtfully reported from Mexico, iNaturalist observation 98861818, and Honduras, 86006338), but based on our review of the male terminalia of specimens from the United States, it is unlikely to be conspecific.</p><p>Distribution. Bonaire (Fig. 1), Curaçao. Possibly on Mustique (Grenadines).</p><p>Biology. All specimens have been collected with traps and no plant associations are available.All type specimens have been collected in relatively green, moist areas of the  Washington Slagbaai National Park on Bonaire.</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet ‘posa’ refers to the Papiamento word ‘pos’, which translates to ‘well’. The type-series of the novel taxon have been collected around two wells (pos), highlighting the importance of the scarce fresh surface water for the fauna on these dry islands. The moister environments of these wells are probably important for the growth of fungi on which the nymphs of  Derbidae feed.</p><p>Sequence data. For the COI gene, a 569 bp product was generated for the barcoding region (5’ half), for the 18S rRNA gene, a 1,326 bp product was generated, and a 776 bp product was generated for the D9–D10 expansion region of the 28S rRNA gene. GenBank accession numbers are presented in Table 2.</p><p>The molecular phylogenies generated for both 18S and 28S demonstrated strong bootstrap support (99 and 100 respectively) for the monophyly of  Anotia based on available taxa (Fig. 8). For both loci,  Anotia posa sp. nov. Resolved within the genus  Anotia, adjacent to both  A. cerebro and  A. firebugia based on 18S and adjacent to  A. cerebro based on 28S (Fig. 8). All branches based on COI demonstrated weak bootstrap support (&lt;80) (Fig. 8). The consensus tree based on concatenated data for all three loci also demonstrated strong bootstrap support (100) for the monophyly of  Anotia with  A. posa sp. nov. resolving within the clade (Fig. 8).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B66187C54F4FFFE1FF74EC46A272FEB1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
