Treatment

Brincadorus cruceno sp. nov.

( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 , 3 View FIGURE 3 )

Type-locality: Potrerillos del Guenda Nature Reserve, Santa Cruz Department, Bolivia.

Length: 5.3–5.6 mm (males)

Coloration: Body yellow dorsally, and light yellow ventrally ( Figs. 2A–B View FIGURE 2 ). Crown, pronotum, and mesonotum with muscular markings slightly darker ( Figs. 2A–B View FIGURE 2 ). Forewing translucent, yellow, without maculae or spots ( Figs. 2A–B View FIGURE 2 ).

External morphology: Coronal suture reaching midlength of crown; frontal region slightly upturned in lateral view; crown texture with arching carinae coarse anteriorly and becoming faint posteriorly (3A–B); anterior margin with numerous transverse carinae ( Figs. 2A–B View FIGURE 2 , 3A–D View FIGURE 3 ). Clypellar suture arcuate. Clypellus tumid in lateral view; constricted at base and tapering toward apex. Forewing without extra crossveins on costal margin ( Figs. 2A–B View FIGURE 2 ). Profemur intercalary row with 12 to 14 setae; row AV with 4 to 7 short, stout macrosetae. Protibia rows AD+PD with 1+4 or 1+5 macrosetae. Other characters as in the generic description.

Male genitalia: Pygofer with dorsal process, acute, curved posterodorsally ( Fig. 3E–F View FIGURE 3 ). Subgenital plate apex acuminate, extending beyond apex of pygofer in lateral view ( Figs. 2C–D View FIGURE 2 ). Connective arms somewhat parallel in dorsal view ( Fig. 2E View FIGURE 2 ). Style apophysis apex rounded, smooth, somewhat straight, not reaching midlength of subgenital plates in dorsal view ( Fig. 2E View FIGURE 2 ). Aedeagus shaft curved dorsally; without basidorsal processes; preapical spine dorsally; apical region curved downwards; gonopore preapical, opening ventrally ( Fig. 2F–G View FIGURE 2 ). Phragma forming elongate lobes, membranous dorsally, with setae dorsally, lightly sclerotized ventrally ( Fig. 2F View FIGURE 2 ). Segment X ventrally protuberant ( Fig. 3F–G View FIGURE 3 ).

Female terminalia: Female unknown.

Etymology: The epithet of the new species refers to those who are born in the Santa Cruz department, Bolivia, the type-locality of the holotype. The epithet is a noun in apposition to the generic name.

Notes: Brincadorus cruceno sp. nov. is similar to B. laticeps , as they both share the subgenital plates acuminate apically, and the long, slender and curved aedeagus. However, the new species can be distinguished by the shorter subgenital plates ( Fig. 2B View FIGURE 2 ), with apical region straighter and less projected beyond pygofer in lateral view, style apophysis slightly shorter in dorsal view ( Fig. 2E View FIGURE 2 ), and aedeagus with a pre-apical dorsal spine and apical region curved downward ( Figs. 2F–G View FIGURE 2 ). In addition to the material examined below, the species is known from the misidentified paratype of B. laticeps from Rurrenabaque, Bolivia.
