Triplocania otunquimbayaensis View in CoL n. sp. Female

( Figs 341–346 View FIGURES 341 – 346 )

Diagnosis. Forewings with a transverse pigmented band, from anterior end of pterostigma to cu1-cu2-a1; areola postica tall, with narrow apex, M3 forked twice, resulting in four branches. Ninth sternum wide, cup-shaped, with two rounded processes posteriorly, as illustrated ( Fig. 346 View FIGURES 341 – 346 ). Related to T. sarriae n. sp., described below, but differing from it in the forking of M3, in the shape of the areola postica, and in the shape of the ninth sternum (compare Figs 341 and 346 View FIGURES 341 – 346 , with Figs 347 and 352 View FIGURES 347 – 352 ).

Color (in 80% ethanol). Body pale brown. Compound eyes ochre; ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Head pattern ( Fig. 343 View FIGURES 341 – 346 ); maxillary palps pale brown. Thorax brown, tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax brown, with cream spots. Tibiae and tarsi brown; mid and hind- coxae, trochanters and femora pale brown, fore- coxae with brown wide spot. Forewing pattern ( Fig. 341 View FIGURES 341 – 346 ). Hindwing almost hyaline, with pale brown distal band as illustrated ( Fig. 342 View FIGURES 341 – 346 ). Abdomen cream, with small subcuticular pale brown spots. Subgenital plate pale cream, with pigmented area V-shaped, pale brown. IX sternum pale brown, lateral dark brown bands; gonapophyses pale brown.

Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head: H/MxW: 1.68; H/D: 2.61, IO/MxW: 0.64, MxW/IO: 2.42. Vertex slightly emarginate, almost in line with the upper border of the compound eyes. Outer cusp of lacinial tip broad, with five denticles. Mx4/Mx2: 1.42. Forewings ( Fig. 341 View FIGURES 341 – 346 ): L/W: 2.58, pterostigma: lp/wp: 5.92; areola postica high, la/ha: 1.86, Cu1a concave. Hindwings ( Fig. 342 View FIGURES 341 – 346 ): l/w: 3.00. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 345 View FIGURES 341 – 346 ) triangular, densely setose. Gonapophyses ( Fig. 346 View FIGURES 341 – 346 ): v1 elongate, about 0.7 the length of v2 +3, tapered, margins, particularly distally, with abundant short setae; v2 +3 wide proximally, a row of six short setae on v2, distal process long, straight, acuminate, with microsetae. Paraprocts triangular, with abundant setae in the apical third, particularly in the outer margin; sensory fields with 22 trichobothria on basal rosettes ( Fig. 344 View FIGURES 341 – 346 ). Epiproct wide, triangular, with two lateral and two apical macrosetae, other setae as illustrated ( Fig. 344 View FIGURES 341 – 346 ).
