Drepatelodes manaos Orlandin & Piovesan, sp. nov. (Figs 1E–F, 4)

Diagnosis. Drepatelodes manaos sp. nov. (Figs 1E–F) has a habitus similar to D. cabore sp. nov. (Figs 1G–H) but can be separated from that species by a line in the submarginal region of the forewing, which is more irregular in D. manaos sp. nov. Drepatelodes manaos sp. nov. also has habitus similar to D. trilineata (Herbin [2024] Fig. 10) and can be separated from it only by genitalia characters (Fig. 4): sacculus with a larger digitiform projection; uncus distally with a strong concavity, V-shaped (small concavity in D. trilineata); aedeagus with a sclerotized projection laterally in the apical half, without pointed apex (pointed in D. trilineata) and vesica with a sclerotized and rounded cornutus (vesica with a small, slightly sclerotized portion in D. trilineata) (Herbin [2024] Fig. 11). The genitalia of D. manaos sp. nov. (Fig. 4) resemble those of D. cabore sp. nov. (Fig. 5), D. chicomendes sp. nov. (Fig. 2), and D. karusakaibu sp. nov. (Fig. 3), but it can be distinguished from these by the following characters: sacculus with a process at approximately 1/2 of valvae length (approximately 1/3 of valvae length in D. cabore sp. nov., D. chicomendes sp. nov. and D. karusakaibu sp. nov.); aedeagus with a sclerotized projection laterally in the apical half, without a pointed apex (absent in D. chicomendes sp. nov., present with a pointed apex in D. cabore sp. nov., and D. karusakaibu sp. nov.); and vesica with a sclerotized and rounded cornutus (pointed in D. cabore sp. nov., D. chicomendes sp. nov. and D. karusakaibu sp. nov.).

Description. Male. Head, Thorax and Abdomen: similar to the D. chicomendes sp. nov. (Figs 1A–B), but forewing length: 18 mm (n=2) (Figs 1E–F). Genitalia. Tegumen shield-like, sclerotized. Saccus elongated, slightly curved dorsally, apex rounded. Uncus more sclerotized and smaller than the tegumen, in dorsal view almost as wide as the tegumen, distally strongly concave; in the distal 1/3 a thin, strongly sclerotized projection, ventrally inclined 90°, apex with three points, one proximal heart-shaped and two distally V-shaped; gnathos as sclerotized as the tegumen, hook-shaped and pointed apically, mesally fused by a membrane; socii absent. Valvae less sclerotized than tegumen, parallel-sided, with rounded apex exceeding the posterior portion of the uncus; sacculus with a finger-like process at approximately 1/2 of valvae length. Fultura inferior rectangular (Figs 4A–C). Aedeagus short and thick, laterally in the apical half, with a more sclerotized process. Vesica with a sclerotized and rounded cornutus (Fig. 4D).

Female. Unknown.

Type material. Holotype. BRAZIL. 1 ♂; Manaus, Amazonas, deposited at the DZUP, with the following labels: / ZF2- Estação Ecológica Manaus, Amazonas, BR 2°35'24"S 60°12'36"W, 110 m 06–11.IV.2024, E. Orlandin leg./ DZ 62.031 / GEN. PREP. E. ORLANDIN 2024 / [red label] HOLOTYPUS Drepatelodes manaos Orlandin & Piovesan det. 2025/. Genitalia in vial glass with glycerine with the following label: / DZ 62.031 Drepatelodes manaos Orlandin & Piovesan 2025 /. — Paratypes. BRAZIL. Amazonas: Manaus, same data as the holotype; DZ 62.573. [green label] PARATYPUS Drepatelodes manaos Orlandin & Piovesan det. 2025 (DZUP).

Geographic distribution. This species is known only from the type locality, in central Amazonia, on the left bank of the Rio Negro.

Etymology. The name is a tribute to the Manáos, an Indigenous people that inhabited the region where the species was discovered, before the European colonization of Brazil.

Remarks. Drepatelodes manaos sp. nov. has a habitus similar to D. trilineata, and they can only be distinguished by the morphological differences observed in the male genitalia. Further collections are needed to determine whether the species occur in sympatry.
