Diagnosis
Both sexes
Head yellowish ( Figs 192–193 View Figs 191–195 , 200 View Figs 196–201 ). Macropterous. Clypeal margin shallowly emarginate ( Fig. 194 View Figs 191–195 ). Upper face and vertex with ten large setae ( Fig. 193 View Figs 191–195 ). Occiput margin blunt ( Fig. 193 View Figs 191–195 ). Mesepimeral sulcus inconspicuous ( Fig. 196 View Figs 196–201 ). Propodeum ( Fig. 198 View Figs 196–201 ) without a well-defined V-shaped area basally, with small smooth areas among carinae. Visible part of petiole very short, distinctly transverse, with more or less obliterate sculpture ( Fig. 198 View Figs 196–201 ).
Female
Antenna ( Fig. 195 View Figs 191–195 ) with basal funicular segments and clava pale yellow. Fore wing with three transverse brownish bands, the first apically within basal cell, the second behind parastigma and the third behind stigma ( Fig. 199 View Figs 196–201 ).
Male
Body yellowish to brownish ( Fig. 200 View Figs 196–201 ). Fu1 and fu10 (and occasionally fu9) usually at least slightly lighter than intermediate funiculars ( Fig. 201 View Figs 196–201 ). Fore wing with at least one brownish spot behind basal end of marginal vein and usually with one or two more spots ( Fig. 200 View Figs 196–201 ); apical basal cell densely setose apically (cf.

Etymology
The name of the species (adjective) refers to the brownish stripes on the fore wing.

Differs from female mainly as follows. Body length: 1.25–2.25 mm. Fore wing without brown spot on basal cell and one behind stigma greatly reduced to absent ( Fig. 200 View Figs 196–201 ). Flagellum usually with fu1 and fu10 distinctly lighter than the rest, yellowish to light brown ( Fig. 201 View Figs 196–201 ). Fu1 length 1.7–2.3 × width; length of pedicel plus flagellum 2.10–2.25 × as long as head width. Gaster (inflated) length 1.3–1.7 × width, gt1 occupying about one third to one half of gaster length.
Distribution
Bahamas, Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela.
Remarks
Netomocera virgata sp. nov. is similar to N. nearctica and N. meridionalis sp. nov.; the female differs from both species mainly in having a different fore wing colour pattern ( Fig. 199 View Figs 196–201 ) and a different colour of the antennae ( Fig. 195 View Figs 191–195 ). In males, fu1 and fu10 are usually at least slightly lighter than fu2–fu9 ( Fig. 201 View Figs 196–201 ), but sometimes only fu1, fu10, or none are different in colour. One male from Brazil (CNC) is excluded from the type series because it has only three setae apically in the basal cell; in other respects it is closer to N. virgata sp. nov. than to N. nearctica or N. meridionalis sp. nov.
