( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 A–F)
Type material: Holotype male, VENEZUELA: Aragua, Parque Nacional Henri Pittier, Rancho Grande, 10°21.047'N, 67°41.198'W, 16–18.ix.1999, about 1000 m a.s.l., sweep net & light trap, T. Andersen ( MIZA, slide mounted in Canada balsam). Paratypes: 2 males, as holotype ( ZMBN); Aragua, Parque Nacional Henri Pittier, Curva Regressiva on road to Choroni, 5 males, 23.ix.1999, 1200 m a.s.l., light trap, T. Andersen ( ZMBN). ECUADOR: Provincia Pichincha, Setor Palmeras, unión Rios Guajalito y Bricador, Bosque Protector Rio Guajalito 0 0 14.925'N, 78 48.193'W, 1 male, 4–10.ii.2000, 1900 m a.s.l., light trap. F.M. Quesada ( ZMBN).
Diagnostic characters: The male imago can be separated from other members of the genus by having numerous setae in apical half of wing membrane; setose squama; costa weakly extended; acrostichals starting in front, all scalpellate; long virga ; anal point long, nearly triangular with pointed apex and moderately strong lateral setae ; and inferior volsella relatively small and rounded.
Etymology: The name refers to the countries where the species has been taken, Venezuela and Ecuador.
