Anacroneuria calima Baena & Rojas

Anacroneuria calima Baena & Rojas in Stark et al., 1999:23.

Holotype ♂, Río Azul , Río Calima middle basin , Valle del Cauca, Colombia (MEUV)

Material examined. COLOMBIA: 1♂, Valle del Cauca, Municipio de Buenaventura, Río Anchicayá , 555 m, light trap, 6 October 1994, M. Lozano ( MEUV) . 1♀, Same data, except 800 m, 3 June 1997, J. Ramírez ( MEUV) . 1♀, Same data, except 26 August 1994, G. Jaramillo ( MEUV) . 1♀, Same data, except 7 October 1994, A. Gómez ( MEUV) .

Discussion. The original description of this species was based on a small series of males ( Stark et al. 1999) and the female has not previously been described. Our samples include three females from near the type locality, which are similar in size and color pattern to the holotype. We add the description of these as the probable female of A. calima .

Female. Forewing length 12 mm. Subgenital plate 4- lobed; mesal lobes close set, divided by narrow, shallow notch, and projecting beyond the slightly broader lateral lobes ( Fig. 37 ). Sternum 9 with a narrow transverse sclerite on posterior margin; mesal setal patch composed of fine, sparse median patch and slightly longer setae in lateral patches; entire mesal patch relatively inconspicuous.

Egg. Spindle shaped, elongate and typical of genus ( Fig. 38 ).
