Atopsyche huarcu Schmid 1989 View in CoL , 125 (Type locality: Brazil, Minas Gerais, Nova Lima, el. 850 m; holotype depository: MZSP; male).

Atopsyche (Atopsaura) huarcu Schmid View in CoL ; Blahnik et al. 2004, 4 (distribution); Paprocki et al. 2004, 7 (checklist); Calor 2011, 320 (checklist).

Diagnosis. This species is classified in the Atopsyche (Atopsaura) longipennis Group and is similar to Atopsyche kamakan n. sp. and A. sanctipauli in the basomesal concavity of the second article of each inferior appendage and in the presence of a dorsal process of the phallotheca; however the apical portion of the first article of the inferior appendage is broader dorsally in A. huarcu and the anterior dorsal tooth on each parapod is much larger and more nearly anterior. The dorsal process of the phallotheca is enlarged apically in A. sanctipauli and A. huarcu and all three species have one or more teeth on the dorsal edge of this process, but the teeth are small and evenly distributed over about half of the length of the process in A. huarcu , whereas there is only a single tooth on the A. kamakan process and the teeth on the process of A. sanctipauli are large and arranged in a fan-like array.

Description. Overall body color yellowish brown; legs yellow to light brown. Head and thorax with long, erect light brown, yellow and whitish setae. Antennal scapes yellow with long light brown setae. Maxillary and labial palps with light brown setae. Forewings light brown, covered by light brown setae, erect setae of veins forming irregular pattern of alternate light and dark brown setae. Broad anterolateral glands on tergum IV; long brown lateral and posterolateral setae on terga IV, V, VI, VII and VIII; proctiger with long brown setae.
