Amazonatolica hamadae , new species
Figs. 4–5 View FIGURE 4 View FIGURE 5
This new species can be distinguished from other members of the Grumichellini by several features as discussed below (Phylogenetic Considerations). It can be easily separated from other Latin American members of the tribe by its 0,0,0 tibial spur formula, 3segmented maxillary palp, absence of fork III in the hind wing of both sexes, and by the male genitalia with its combination of simple tergum X, prominent harpago, and the broad, triangular, scletotized mesal shelf of the inferior appendage.
Adult: Forewing length 7 mm (n=3) male; 6 mm (n=5) female. Color (in alcohol) pale stramineous (denuded, although in a mature female pharate pupa, the wings appear to be a darker brown, with a large patch of white setae apically).
Male ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 ): Abdominal segment IX annular, narrow; anterior and posterior margins sinuate; in dorsal view quadrate; sparse setae present posterolaterally. Segment X saddleshaped, simple, lightly sclerotized, lacking setae or secondary processes, covering the phallic apparatus dorsally; in lateral view, narrow basally, directed ventrad, broader mesally, truncate apically; in dorsal view, triangular, apex slightly and narrowly cleft. Preanal appendage long, digitate, setose, shorter than segment X. Inferior appendage long, bipartite, consisting of primary segment and second article (harpago); primary segment with basal and apical regions; basal region broad, sclerotized, with rounded basoventral corner, bearing very long setae; with broad, triangular, sclerotized mesal shelf, its apex rugose; apical region digitate, more lightly sclerotized, bearing very long setae dorsally and laterally, and short, stout, spinelike setae on mesal surface; second article of inferior appendage (harpago) long, spatulate, apex rounded, with pair of short apicomesal setae. Phallic apparatus simple, phallobase tubular, wide basally with wide opening, tapering apically; phallicata absent; parameres absent; endophallic membranes present apicoventrally; phallotremal sclerites present, large, Vshaped.
Female ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 ): Tergum IX lightly sclerotized, with patch of dorsal setae and more sparsely distributed, longer dorsolateral setae; sternum IX lightly sclerotized, rounded, bulbous, covered with fine microtrichia. Appendages of segment X short, broad, thumbshaped, heavily setose, situated dorsolaterally. Valve prominent, flaplike, apex irregular, heavily setose. Tergum X produced into thin, ventrally directed, apically excavate, sclerotized plate below appendages of segment X and between valves. Vaginal apparatus, in ventral view, oval, broadest mesally, narrowing anteriorly, with central, keyhole shaped sclerites; in lateral view, saddleshaped.
