Fig. 2

This species has a pair of long, terminal processes and a pair of small, median processes on abdominal segment X. As in other members of the brasiliana species­group, it possesses lateral acuminate flanges on the male phallobase and well­developed phallotremal sclerites.

Adult: Color brown, with small white wing spots. Forewing length 9–10 mm.

Male: Genitalia as in Fig. 2 . Segment IX broadest ventrolaterally, with pair of small, closely situated dorsal protuberances. Segment X concave dorsally in lateral view, bearing pair of mesal dorsolateral and apical processes; dorsolateral process short, digitate, bearing many short fine setae; apical process well developed, long, acuminate, bearing fine apical setae. Preanal appendage long, about half­length of segment X, digitate, setose, apically rounded. Inferior appendage with apical portion very elongate, digitate, setose; basal portion bearing various processes: very short, flat, apically rounded basodorsal process; long, slender mesodorsal process; very short, rounded, setose, basal protuberance; and short, thumb­shaped, setose, mesoventral process. Phallic apparatus with phallic apodeme and phallobase weakly developed; phallobase with pair of dorsolaterally directed, acuminate flanges, apices directed laterally; phallotremal sclerite well developed, roughly U­shaped in dorsal view and bearing secondary pair of minute pointed processes.

Holotype male: BRAZIL: São Paulo: Cachoeira do Paredão, Lajeado, Serra da Bocaina, 22°43'32"S, 044°37'16"W, 1550 m, 1–2.iii.2002 (Holzenthal, Blahnik, Paprocki, & Prather) ( UMSP 000200915) ( MZUSP).

Paratypes: BRAZIL: São Paulo: Parque Estadual de Campos do Jordão, Rio Galharada, 22°41'40"S, 045°27'47"W, 1530 m, 13–15.ix.2002 (Blahnik, Prather, Melo, Huamantinco) 1 male ( UMSP 000200916) ( UMSP), 1 female ( UMSP 000200917) ( UMSP), 1 female ( UMSP 000200918) ( MZUSP).
