Gallio eti Carneiro, Dolibaina, Mielke & Casagrande , sp. nov.

( Figs. 4 View Figs , 8 View Figs , 12 View Figs , 13 View Fig )

Gallio sp. Lamas, 1994, in Foster et al. RAP Working Papers 6: 175. – Robbins et al., 1996, In Wilson & Sandoval. Manu, p. 249.

Diagnose: As in previous new species, Gallio eti sp. nov. is distinguished from G. carasta also by its smaller size, with forewing length around 9.5–10 mm ( Fig. 4a–d View Figs ); unaligned forewing subapical yellow spots in R 3 –M 1 due to the proximal position of the spot in R 4 –R 5 ( Fig. 4b View Figs ); submarginal yellow line of ventral forewing on the outer margin ( Fig. 4b View Figs ); and the forewing ventral surface with the yellow submarginal line in M 1 –M 2 exceeding proximally the subapical yellow spot ( Fig. 4b View Figs ). On the other hand, these characters also occur in G. imperatriz sp. nov. and G. furtadoi sp. nov., thus G. eti sp. nov. is separated from these two species by the rounded dorsal projection of ampulla, not exceeding the dorsal margin of costa; distal margin of aedeagus thin and pointed, with the distal opening not projected proximally as in G. imperatriz sp. nov.; lamella antevaginalis distal margin with a single median projection; lamella postvaginalis rounded, with its distal margin with a developed U-shaped indentation.

Description: Forewing length: 9.5–10 mm. Antenna: nudum 11 to 12. Male genitalia: fenestra reduced. Harpe’s distal projection short and rounded, slightly turned dorsally. Ampulla’s dorsal projection short and rounded. Coecum of aedeagus short, laterally straight; dorso-posterior end of aedeagus hollowed; hollow wide and elongated; ventro-distal end of aedeagus medially projected, pointed in apex; vesica bilobed, distally clothed by several reduced spines of different sizes in each lobe. Female genitalia: eighth tergite with an ellipsoid spiracular opening separated from the external margin. Lamella antevaginalis with a median, rounded projection. Distal margin of lamella postvaginalis with lateral truncated processes separated by a U-shaped margin. Ductus bursae membranous folded in &-shape.

Types: Holotype male with the following labels:/ HOLOTYPUS / 20-23-VII-2004 50 KM NO DE BUJARI, BUJARI, ACRE [ BRAZIL] 200 m, O.-C. MIELKE LEG./GEN. PREP . E. CARNEIRO 2014/ OM 64.567 / HOLOTYPUS Gallio eti Carneiro, Dolibaina, Mielke & Casagrande det. 2015/. DZUP .

The Allotype female has the following labels:/ ALLOTYPUS / PERU, M[adre] de Dios, Parque Manu, Pakitza 340 m, 11 ◦ 55 Ɩ 48 ƖƖ S 71 ◦ 15 ƖƖ 18 ƖƖ W 13 Oct 1991 Leg. O. Mielke /GEN. PREP . E. CARNEIRO 2014/DZ 31.230/ ALLOTYPUS Gallio eti Carneiro, Dolibaina, Mielke & Casagrande det. 2015/. DZUP .

Paratype: PERU – Madre de Díos: Parque Nacional Manu (Pakitza) , 340 m, 29.IX.1991, G. Lamas leg. 1♂ ( MUSM) .

Distribution: Known from two localities from western Amazon in Inambari endemism area: Bujari (Acre, Brazil) and Parque Nacional Manu (Madre de Díos, Peru).

Etymology: The name comes from the resemblance between the shape of the ductus bursae and the “&” symbol.
