Diatrypa (Latispeculum) didieri Cadena-Casteñada, Noriega , n. sp.

( Figs. 32–38 )

Diagnosis. Small size, light brown coloration with dark brown spots and strips all over the body. Subtriangular ectophallic valves, curving itself moderately inwards in the apex, with denticulations near the base, ramus 0.8 times longer than the apodeme of the endoparamere.

Holotype. ♂. Colombia, Amazonas, PNN Amacayacu, ~ 70 m. S. Otavo & J. Noriega leg. (MUD).

Description. Male (holotype). Coloration light brown with some dark brown spots and stripes with following pattern: frons with strips dark brown as fig. 32, similar strip pattern in the epicraneum and pronotum, antenna without strip or spots, fore and middle legs with dark brown spots disperse all over the legs, hind femur with longitudinal strips, separated by small longitudinal invagination from the base of the femur to the knee, hind tibia with dark brown spots disperse, tegmina transparent brown. Head rather short and clearly flattened dorsoventrally; eyes large, slightly longer than wide, central ocellus rounded and little prominent and lateral ocelli with an oval form and two times wider than the central one; maxillary palpi with subapical segment short and apical segment strongly widening towards apex; pronotal disc with the concave later margin (figs. 33–34); metanotal gland as in fig. 35. Tegmina with slightly wider mirror and shorter apical area, tegminal Sc comb with 11 branches. Epiproctus with apex widely truncate and a pair of lateral convexities dorsally, subgenital plate of middle size, as long as 1.3 times the length of the tenth tergite, apex of the subgenital plate rounded. Phallic complex: epiphallus with apices of lateral lobes of posterior part distinctly thinner and slightly shorter as well as with medial tubercles of these lobes somewhat asymmetrical and latero-proximal edges of epiphallic, epiphallic valves with two denticulus in the inner margin near the base, guiding rob (g) of tubular genitalia, with the truncated apex and without well-known excelling between epiphallic valves (figs. 36–38).

Female. Unknown.

Measurements (mm). Total length: 15; Pronotum: 2; Tegmina: 11; Hind femur: 6.5; Hind tibia: 7.

Etymology. Dedicated to Didier Alfonso Castañeda Moreno, great friend of the first author, who contributed to the photographic registry of this paper in large extent.
