Coelindroma tuberculata View in CoL sp. nov.

Figs 12–22 View FIGURES 12 – 22 , 24, 27 View FIGURES 23 – 28. 23 and 26 C

Diagnosis. Head, in frontal view, with two small black spots on the upper sides of the frons; in lateral view, with evident preapical tubercle on crown ( Figs. 13–14 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ); pygofer, in lateral view, trapezoidal-shaped ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ); subgenital plates, in ventral view, not fused at apical fifth, with pair of macrosetae ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ); style, in lateral view, with apical third abruptly upturned, preapical lobe well developed, and apex strongly curved ventrally ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ); aedeagus with pair of short apical convergent processes ( Fig. 21 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ).

Measurements (mm). Male holotype: total length 6.25; crown median length 0.94; transocular width 1.15; interocular width 0.61; frons basal width 0.58; frons length 1.06; pronotum median length 0.62; width between humeri 1.42; mesonotum median length 0.97; mesonotum maximum width 1.07; forewing length 4.69; forewing maximum width.

General color. Body pale-yellow with orange maculae ( Figs 24–27 View FIGURES 23 – 28. 23 and 26 C ). Crown pale-yellow, with large black median macula on anterior half extending to the upper sides of the frons, posterior half and two lateral longitudinal bands extending to antennal ledge, orange; frons, in frontal view, with orange V-shaped maculae; antennal flagellum light-brown ( Figs 12–14 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ). Pronotum pale-yellow; median longitudinal broad band, extending from anterior to posterior margin, emarginated laterally, two smaller longitudinal bands placed on anterior half of lateral margins, orange. Mesonotum with pair of large subtriangular maculae on basal half, and apex, orange ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ). Forewings hyaline with inner margin of apical third dark-brown ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ). Hindwings pale-yellow hyaline with yellow venation. Legs pale-yellow ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 23 – 28. 23 and 26 C ).

Description. Head, in lateral view, with evident preapical tubercle on crown ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ). Male pygofer, in lateral view, trapezoidal-shaped; apex rounded; ventral margin produced ventrally with apex acute and sclerotized (= ventral hook in Kramer, 1967) ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ). Subgenital plates, in ventral view, abruptly constricted at apical half; fused except at apical fifth; with pair of macrosetae ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ); in lateral view, as long as the pygofer; curved and strongly concave dorsally; with dorsal margin abruptly descending towards apex; without dorsal preapical tooth ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ). Styles not attaining posteriorly apex of connective; in lateral view, slender, with apical third abruptly upturned; preapical lobe distinct; apex sclerotized, strongly curved ventrally, with some preapical setae ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ). Connective, in dorsal view, Y-shaped; about two-thirds the length of styles; articulated to the basis of the aedeagus ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ). Aedeagus, in lateral and dorsal view, slender and elongate, with apical third curved anterodorsally; slightly enlarged preapically ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ); in posterior view, with pair of short apical processes with apices acute and convergent ( Fig. 21 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ); preatrium shorter than the shaft, dorsal apodeme reduced ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ). Anal tube without processes ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 12 – 22 ). Female unknown.

Geographical distribution. Brazil (Amazonas).

Specimens examined. Male holotype (INPA), with following labels: “ BRASIL, Amazonas, Ipixuna, Rio\ Gregório, Com. Lago Grande\ 07°10’11.7’’S – 71°49’10.3’’W \ 23.v.2011, 01:00–04:00h; Arm. Luminosa baixa\ J.A. Rafael, J. T. Câmara, R. F.\ Silva, A. Somavilla, C.\ Gonçalves & A. Agudelo leg.; Holótipo\ Coelindroma tuberculata \ Gonçalves, Marques-Costa & Ale-Rocha\ 2011 ”.

Holotype condition. Thorax ventrally glued to triangle by right side; antennae, forewings, hindwings, and legs in perfect state; abdomen dissected.

Etymology. The species name refers to the tubercle on the crown.

Comments. Coelindroma tuberculata sp. nov. resembles C. fungosa ( Figs 25, 28 View FIGURES 23 – 28. 23 and 26 C ) by the trapezoidal-shape of pygofer; styles with evident preapical lobe; and elongate aedeagus. However, the color pattern ( Figs 24, 27 View FIGURES 23 – 28. 23 and 26 C ), presence of distinct preapical tubercle on the crown, and short apical processes on the aedeagus allow C. tuberculata to be easily distinguished from C. fungosa .
