Diagnosis.

Pararhagadochir bonita sp. nov. differs from other species of Pararhagadochir by the shape of the 10Lp1 with external tip well sclerotized and the shape of LC1dp (Fig. 28 ).

Description.

Male (holotype). Head, prothorax, and legs light brown, pterothorax and abdomen orangish brown, terminalia and basal cerci whitish brown, antennal tips and apical cerci white. Total length 13.21. Head (Fig. 25 ) width/length = 0.78; OR = 0.60; Md with 3-2 incisor teeth and 1-1 molar teeth; Mm inconspicuous, Sm with anterior margin concave, caudally constricted, surface depressed (Fig. 26 ). Forewing length 10.16, hindwing length 9.39. Wing base union type A; wing venation: Sc, R1, Rs, Ma, Mp, Cu, and A conspicuous (Fig. 27 ); Cua diffuse, Ma2 and Mp less conspicuous; Ma2, Mp, and Cua clearly not reaching wing edge; cross-veins in forewing: R1-Rs: 5, Rs-Ma1: 2-3, Ma-Mp: 1, Ma-Mp: 1. Basitarsus of hind leg no observations, hind legs lost. Terminalia (Figs 28 , 29 ) typical of the genus but with some distinctive details: concavity at the inner basal angle of 10L present (Fig. 28 ); 10Lp1 base short, external tip of 10Lp1 small and strongly sclerotized (Fig. 28 ). Tips of 10Rp1 visible only at ventral view (Fig. 29 ), Ep diffuse. Hp with transversal keels (Fig. 29 ). Lpp with unsclerotized hook with microtrichia in the inner apical angle, close to Hp. LC2 longer than LC1, longitudinal ratio of LC1/LC2 = 0.61, LC1dp conical with setae (Figs 28 , 29 ); LC1dp/LC1width = 1.84, LC1dp almost 2 × longer than the width of LC1. Female. Unknown.
