Triplocania rugosa View in CoL n. sp.

( Figs 265–276 View FIGURES 265 – 270 View FIGURES 271 – 276 )

Diagnosis. Central sclerite of the hypandrium with a median, distally bilobed posterior projection, and a broad protuberance on each postero-lateral corner, each bearing a rounded lateral projection, with a row of short, sclerotized teeth along the posterior border ( Fig. 269 View FIGURES 265 – 270 ). Mesal pair of endophallic sclerites with central, fused area arrow shaped, posteriorly bifid, anteriorly with two arms, each one straight in the middle, then bow-shaped, with outer border irregular, distally bearing denticles along both sides ( Fig. 270 View FIGURES 265 – 270 ). Posterior endophallic sclerites transverse, slender, with inner ends pointed and outer ends bifid, acuminate. IX sternum long, trapezoidal, anteriorly wider, and slightly concave in the middle ( Fig. 276 View FIGURES 271 – 276 ). Belonging in the species assemblage indicated above, in the diagnosis of T. pericosensis n. sp.

Male. Color (in 80% ethanol). Body pale brown, head pattern ( Fig. 267 View FIGURES 265 – 270 ); front with dark brown area, between epistomal suture and inner border of the compound eyes; ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents; postclypeus brown, with dark brown V-shaped area; anteclypeus and labrum brown; genae with dark brown band; antennae brown, scape and distal flagellomeres dark brown; Mx1–3 cream, Mx4 brown. Coxae, trochanters and much of the femora cream, coxae with small brown spots, femora with pale brown spots, tibiae and tarsi pale brown. Forewings with pale brown submarginal band from R4+5 to Cu1a, with one hyaline fenestra on each cell; a dark brown spot on vein ends, at wing margin ( Fig. 265 View FIGURES 265 – 270 ). Pterostigma with proximal and distal brown bands.

Hindwings almost hyaline; with small brown spot at vein ends. Abdomen pale cream, with subcuticular brown spots ventrally. Hypandrium pale brown, with distal lobes of the side protuberances of the central sclerite of hypandrium dark brown. Clunium, paraprocts and epiproct pale brown, with dark brown subcuticular spots.

Vertex slightly emarginate, almost in line with the upper border of the compound eyes. Outer cusp of lacinial tips broad, with three broad denticles. Mx4/Mx2: 1.26; Mx4/Mx3: 3.00. Forewings ( Fig. 265 View FIGURES 265 – 270 ): L/W: 2.49; pterostigma: lp/wp: 4.50; areola postica tall, slightly slanted posteriorly, la/ha: 2.00. Hindwings ( Fig. 266 View FIGURES 265 – 270 ): l/ w: 2.89. Phallosome V-shaped anteriorly, external parameres slender, membranous, with apex rounded, sclerotized, associated with the posterior endophallic sclerites ( Fig. 270 View FIGURES 265 – 270 ). Anterior pair of endophallic sclerites robust, close to each other anteriorly, mesal pair as in diagnosis. Paraprocts oval ( Fig. 268 View FIGURES 265 – 270 ), with posterior field of setae as illustrated; sensory fields with 22 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct ( Fig. 268 View FIGURES 265 – 270 ) wide, almost straight anteriorly, rounded posteriorly, with setae as illustrated.

Etymology. The specific name refers to the rugose posterior borders of the side protuberances of the central sclerite of the hypandrium, and of the borders of the arms of the mesal pair of endophallic sclerites of the phallosome.
