Aspinipogon Razowski and Becker

Aspinipogon Razowski and Becker, 2010: 446 .

Type-species: Aspinipogon bellus Razowski and Becker, 2010 .

Redescription.—Forewing with complete venation ( Fig. 1 ); male without costal fold; M-stem absent, chorda, and discal cross-vein obsolete; discal cell ca. 0.7 length of wing; all veins present and relatively well defined, except CuP reduced, retained only in terminal part; R 4 to costa near apex, R 5 to termen; distance between pairs of veins on termen M 1 to CuA 2 similar; anal veins bifurcate in basal area of wing, anal loop ca. 0.3 times length of 1A+2A. Hindwing without costal roll; M-stem obsolete distally, absent basally; discal cell ca. 0.5 length of wing; Sc+R1 closely parallel to Rs basally, ca. 0.8 times length of wing; radial cross-vein obsolete; Rs and M 1 stalked basally ca. 0.3 length of M 1; M 3 and CuA 1 connate; CuA 2 well developed; CuP absent; anal veins 1A+2A and 3A well developed, anal loop obsolete. Frenulum with one bristle in male, three in female. Male genitalia with reduction in tegumen and associated structures; transtilla simple; valva with cucullus simplified and sacculus projected distally as a free point; neck of valva with a notch or smooth; phallus stout with a single long non-deciduous cornutus; vinculum divided into two arms, weakly fused distally. Female genitalia with sterigma simple, without sacks; bursa copulatrix with membranous accessory bursa/diverticulum; corpus bursae with acanthae arranged in groups (not in circle), but with no distinct signum; ductus seminalis connects to corpus bursae.

Diversity and Distribution.—The genus was described as monotypic to include Aspinipogon bellus Razowski and Becker, 2010 , from Brazil ( Razowski and Becker, 2010). Herein we add a new species from Bolivia. The broad geographical range can be explained, in part, by the presence of unknown species not yet found.
