Ribeiro col. (MBML 1878)</p><p>Distribution. Only known from the type locality, a protected area composed of ombrophilous forest formation in the municipality of Santa Teresa, state of Espírito Santo, Brazil.</p><p>Comments. Exetasis teresensis sp. nov., E. jujuyensis Gillung and E. calida Wiedemann, are the only known species of Exetasis characterized by an apical fusion of veins M 3 and M 4. However, in E. jujuyensis and E. calida, these veins bifurcate from M 3+4 distal to m-cu, whereas in the new species, they bifurcate just before m-cu, with m-cu arising from M 4. Additionally, E. teresensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from E. jujuyensis and E. calida by a complete M 2, by the position of r-m arising from the radial fork and by the color pattern on the thoracic and abdominal tergites.</p><p>The apical fusion of veins M 3 and M 4 is reported here for a female specimen of E. eickstedtae Schlinger (see below). However, this species can be separated from E. teresensis sp. nov. by the color pattern of abdominal tergites, color of the antennal flagellum in the female (black in E. eickstedtae) and color pattern on the abdominal tergites II and III, which are predominantly dark-brown with orangish-brown lateral areas in E. eickstedtae .</p><p>In the identification key of Barneche et al. (2013), Exetasis teresensis sp. nov. is grouped with E. jujuyensis . Nevertheless, in addition to the aforementioned differences, these species can also be separated by the color of the antennal flagellum in the female, which is yellow in E. teresensis and black in E. jujuyensis . Notably, E. teresensis sp. nov. is the only known species within the genus in which the female flagellum is entirely yellow. In contrast, the female flagellum of E. brasiliensis and E. tumens is, at least partially dark (Walker 1852, Carrera 1946).Additionally, E. longicornis can be separated from E. teresensis sp. nov. by the presence of an open cell m 3, with vein M 3 ending free on wing membrane, a feature it shares with E. brasiliensis and E. tumens .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/620D2467FFEE9D5EFF79878AFBFD47BB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Wing with microtrichia present only in cells c, sc and r 1 in both sexes. Male: Antenna much longer than head height by around 20:13; flagellum large, mostly yellow, or orangish, deeply incised on outside laterally, wider at basal 2/3 and narrowing to apex, without terminal setae. Scutum yellow with spots of varied intensity (from yellow to black) on anteromedial and lateroposterior areas; large distinct prescutellum present. Female: scutum yellow with three large well delimited longitudinal black stripes; abdominal tergites orangish-brown laterally with dark brown areas medially, occupying around ¾ of tergite II, gradually tapering to ½ of tergite IV and a thin longitudinal line on tergite V.</p><p>Variations to original description, based on studied specimens:</p><p>Measurements.

Different from male holotype and paratype, the studied specimen shows the following features: scutum yellow with two anteromedial black spots, and three lateral black spots on each side of a medial black spot; abdomen with tergites II–IV light brown, other tergites dark brown, and sternites light brown, translucent; terminalia (not dissected): epandrium light brown, covered with brown setae, cercus dark brown covered with black setae and apex of gonostylus rounded and light brown.</p><p>Different from the description of the female paratype, the studied specimen shows flagellum entirely black; occiput grayish.
