( Figs. 17–22 )

Brahemyia lobata ( Cook, 1956a) : 8, figs. 1G (male terminalia), 2F (segment 7). Type –locality: MEXICO, Córdoba, Vera Cruz State.

Material examined. ɗ holotype, Córdoba, Vera Cruz State, MEXICO. May 14, 1908, A. Feneces (slide mounted) ( NMNH).

Description. The original description of Cook (1956a) is fairly complete for most details to allow species identification. I add here drawings of the thorax, wing, segment 7 and the terminalia. Cook’s (1956a, Fig. 1 G) drawing of the male terminalia is not totally accurate, due to misinterpretation of sclerite homology.
