Males and females: eye bridge contiguous, with three facet rows; flagellomere 1 and flagellomeres 12-14 lack ascoids; ascoids, when present, are unbranched and can be found either singly or in pairs in flagellomeres 2 to 11. Wing: lanceolate, with pointed apex; Rs pectinate; wing apex between R 4 and R 5. Male terminalia: bilaterally symmetrical; aedeagus comprised of four blade-like sclerites surrounded by a membranous sheath; cerci long, digitiform, slightly curved anteriorly with one apical, setiform tenaculum.</p><p>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 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03814417FFE1FFAEFCDCF9E4FC80F823	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Male and female with eye bridge slightly downward inclined; anal lobe with long setae present in male wing, absent in wing female; hypandrium with pair of long, lateral branches that are projected posteriorly and apically corrugated; apical margin of female hypopygium concave with setose lobe biggest than apical margin.</p><p>Male description. Head: slightly wider than long; vertex little pronounced; eyes contiguous; eye bridge with three rows of facets slightly downward inclined (Figures 1A, B). Front with setae alveoli patch wider than long, narrow, with lower margin bilobed and upper margin straight, close to the inferior margin of eyes (Figure 1A). Clypeus with setae alveoli patch subrectangular. Antenna (Figure 1C): scape subcylindrical, almost 1.2x longer than wide; pedicel spherical almost half of the scape; basal flagellomeres 1-3 ovate, the remaining flagellomeres fusiform, decreasing in size from base to apex, 14 th flagellomere with long apiculus (Figure 1C, D); flagellomere 1 without ascoids, flagellomeres 2-3 with one ascoid, flagellomeres 4-11 with two ascoids; flagellomers 12-14 without ascoids; ascoids 2/3 the length of flagellomere (Figure 1E). Labellum narrow, longer than wide. Palpus extending to flagellomere 6; relative segments of the palpus proportion:1.0:1.6:2.0:2.1; segment of the palpus 4 annulated (Figure 1F). Epipharynx with six distal spiniform setae, two big setae dorsally located to the four small setae (Figure 1G). Thorax: group of small setae, probably with sensory function, in the dorsal area of anepimeron (Figure 1H); mid coxa with mesal anterior protuberance covered with pores (Figure 1I). Wing: 2.5 x longer than wide; R 3 ending at the same level of M 1; M 2 complete; anal lobe, with long setae (Figures 1J, K). Male terminalia: hypandrium band-like, arched, with a pair of long lateral projections, sinuous, enlarged apically and has sclerotized bands (Figures 2A, B); ejaculatory apodeme subellipsoid (Figures 2A, B), narrow laterally (Figure 2F); aedeagus with four narrow sclerites, inner sclerites filiform, ending in acute apex, smallest than outer sclerites; outer sclerites band-like, sinuous, enlarged proximally (Figures 2A, B); gonocoxites longer than wide dorsally with setae alveoli laterally (Figures 2A, B); gonocoxites subcylindrical laterally and covered with setae alveoli distally (Figure 2F); gonostyli slightly sinuous, setose; apex of gonostyli ending in an internal small hook; apex of gonostyli without stout, conical setae (Figures 2A, B); gonocoxal apodemes sub-rectangular (Figures 2A, B); epandrium sub-rectangular with a band of setae alveoli distally and a pair of foramina below the band of setae alveoli (Figure 2D); epandrium articulated ventrally with hypoproct (Figure 2F); epiproct short with micropilosity (Figure 2D); hypoproct with rounded apex with microtrichia (Figure 2E); subepandrial sclerite long, plate-like, little sclerotized (Figure 2E); cerci long, digitiform, slightly curved, setose with one filiform tenaculum.</p><p>Female. Head as in male. Wing without setose anal lobe (Figure 3A). Terminalia: distal margin of hypopygium concave, with setose lobe, concave, biggest than the apical margin (Figures 3B, C); cerci elongated, tapering to apex (Figure 3C).</p><p>Type Material. holotype male Brazil, Roraima, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-62.866665&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-10.3" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -62.866665/lat -10.3)">Cacaulândia</a>, 200 km SSE of Porto Velho, 10°18’S 62°52’W, 200 masl, 25.v-06.vi. 1998. L.W. Quate col. (MZFS, 3197) .</p><p>Paratypes. 18 males and 17 females, same data as holotype (MZFS, males: 3176, 3178-3191, 3194-3196; females: 2570- 2581, 3174, 3175, 3192, 3193)</p><p>Etymology. the specific name ‘ roraimense ’ is a noun in apposition, referring to the gentilic used for people born in the state of Roraima.</p><p>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 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03814417FFE1FFADFD2EF830FBCBF99E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
