03814417FFE1FFAEFCDCF9E4FC80F823.taxon	discussion	Comments. CURLER (2020) proposed as a diagnostic character the presence of conical setae in the apex of gonostyli, however, these setae are not observed in the new species. This character was not considered as diagnostic of the genus; it is a diagnostic character of Polletomyia subullata Curler, 2020.	en	Bravo, Freddy, Araújo, Maíra Xavier (2023): Description of the second species of Polletomyia Curler, 2020 (Diptera: Psychodidae) from the Brazilian Amazon.

03814417FFE1FFADFD2EF830FBCBF99E.taxon	discussion	Comments. The description of the second species of Polletomyia from the western Amazon has allowed for an improved diagnosis of the genus, which was originally based on its type species. Until now, the genus has been found to be endemic to the Amazonian Forest. The most striking feature that differentiates the new species from P. subulata is the presence of a setose lobe in the anal region of the male wing. The females are distinguished by having an apical setose lobe in the female hypopygium of P. roraimense sp. nov., which is absent in P. subulata.	en	Bravo, Freddy, Araújo, Maíra Xavier (2023): Description of the second species of Polletomyia Curler, 2020 (Diptera: Psychodidae) from the Brazilian Amazon.
