Mastigimas colombianus View in CoL sp. n.

( Figs 5 View FIGURES 3 – 11 , 14 View FIGURES 12 – 19 , 22 View FIGURES 20 – 27 , 30 View FIGURES 28 – 35 , 38 View FIGURES 36 – 43 )

Material examined. Holotype ♂, Colombia: Bogota, 25.x.1999, Cedrela montana (Y. Osorio) (BMNH, dry mounted).

Paratypes. Colombia: 1 ♂, 2 ♀, same as holotype (BMNH, dry and slide mounted).

Description. Adult. Colouration. Male dark brown or black, with straw-coloured patches on vertex medially and anteriorly, on the pronotum in the middle, on the mesopraescutum postero-laterally and on the mesoscutum medially, laterally and caudally. Head ventrally, clypeus, mesoscutellum, metascutum medially and thorax laterally along a narrow band whitish. Scape brown. Legs with femora brown basally, straw-coloured apically, dark colour more expanded on meso and metafemora; pro and mesotibiae and tarsi brownish, metatibia and tarsus yellowish, apical tarsal segments darker than basal one. Forewing whitish, transparent, veins brown. Hindwing whitish. Female light brown dorsally, whitish ventrally, almost completely lacking dark brown or black except for antennal flagellum, a few small patches on pleura of thorax and tip of terminalia.

Structure. Anterior head margin, in dorsal view, forming wide 'U'-shaped cleft between large toruli. Antenna 3.89–4.34 times as long as head width, segment 3 1.2–1.4 times as long as segment 4. Forewing ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 3 – 11 ) 4.52–4.61 times as long as head width, 2.59–2.68 times as long wide, pterostigma long and narrow, ratio a/b 0.8–1.1, cell cu1 moderately high. Male proctiger 0.36 times as long as head width. Paramere ( Figs 14 View FIGURES 12 – 19 , 22 View FIGURES 20 – 27 ) bifid, with narrow, rounded outer lobe and claw-like inner lobe. Distal portion of aedeagus ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 28 – 35 ) less than a third as long as segment, with small apical hook. Female terminalia ( Fig. 38 View FIGURES 36 – 43 ) short; dorsal outline of proctiger strongly concave; proctiger 0.94 times as long as head width, and 2.43 times as long as subgenital plate.

Measurements (1 ♂, 1 ♀, in mm). Body length ♂ 5.00, ♀ 5.40, head width 0.83–0.90, antenna length 3.50– 3.60, forewing length 3.75–4.15 (3.39±0.37), metatibia length 1.00–1.05, male proctiger length 0.30, paramere length 0.28, female proctiger length 0.85.

Fifth instar immature unknown.

Etymology. The species is named after its provenience from Colombia.

Distribution. Colombia.

Host plant. Adults have been collected on Cedrela montana Moritz ex Turcz. , which is a likely host.
