Figures 79–83 View FIGURE 79 View FIGURE 80 View FIGURE 81 View FIGURE 82 View FIGURE 83

Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 80 View FIGURE 80 ). Mesobasisternum lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally blunt tip ( Fig. 79E View FIGURE 79 ). Metabasisternum anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight and posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 79E View FIGURE 79 ). Apex of cercus with rectangular projection and lateral spine, both with narrow with a dark brown color ( Fig. 79K View FIGURE 79 ).

Description. Holotype Male.

Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally blunt tip ( Fig. 79E View FIGURE 79 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight and posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 79E View FIGURE 79 ).

Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 80 View FIGURE 80 ). Left stridulatory file slightly curved; basal teeth smaller and close together ( Fig. 81A View FIGURE 81 ). Total file length of 4 mm, greater vein width of 0.7 mm and total of 123 teeth. Right stridulatory slightly curved; basal half teeth more spaced apart ( Fig. 81B View FIGURE 81 ). Total length file of 3.2 mm, widest vein of 0.1 mm and total of 104 teeth.

Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 1/2 of the total femur length ( Fig. 79H View FIGURE 79 ).

Abdomen. Cercus curved inwards, with the apex expanded ( Figs. 79I–K View FIGURE 79 ). Apex of cercus with rectangular projection and lateral spine, both with narrow with a dark brown color ( Fig. 79K View FIGURE 79 ). Stylus small and triangular ( Fig. 79I View FIGURE 79 ).

Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles reniform ( Figs. 82A–D View FIGURE 82 ). Upper folds of ventral lobe small, rounded and not connected ( Figs. 82A–B View FIGURE 82 ). Titillator process bilobed ( Figs. 82A–D View FIGURE 82 ). Lower folds of ventral lobe large, bilobed and exceeding the dorsal lobe ( Figs. 82A–B View FIGURE 82 ). Dorsal lobes anteriorly straight, anterolaterally with two small projections and posteriorly convex ( Figs. 82A–D View FIGURE 82 ). Dorsal folds elongated, narrow and with acuminate apex ( Figs. 82C–D View FIGURE 82 ).

Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimen ( Fig. 79 View FIGURE 79 ). Body yellowish-brown. Eyes brown.

Female. Unknown.

Etymology. The epithet is in apposition, cacaia (ka’a + kaî + a) comes from the Brazilian indigenous language Nheengatu and means “burnt forest”, in reference to the Cerrado, the environment in which this species is native, which suffers from periodic natural fires.

Distribution. Brazil: Maranhão ( Fig. 83 View FIGURE 83 ).
