Carneiro, Eduardo, Mielke, Olaf H. H. & Casagrande, M. M., 2015, The Neotropical genus Ginungagapus gen. nov. (Hesperiidae, Hesperiinae, Moncini): phylogenetic position and taxonomic review, Zootaxa 3931 (2), pp. 196-220 : 207-209

Ginungagapus fiedleri Carneiro, Mielke & Casagrande sp. nov.

( Figs 7 , 15 , 22 and 24 )

Diagnosis. VHW central and discal areas markedly dark purple, different from all other species. Uncus with unique dorsal median lobe. Harpe posteriorly pointed as in G. rogan comb. nov., but shorter and straight. Ampulla distinct as a short squared projection. Lateral expansion of lamella postvaginalis with a distinct posterior laminate projection connected centrally by a thin fold of the anterior margin of the sterigma. Ostium bursae projected as a tube by anterior and posterior folds of sterigma, whose ventral margin presents two truncated tips. Posterior margin of sterigma with lateral truncated projections, which may vary in width. Ductus bursae membranous, with lateral bars filled with spines within.

Description. Forewing length 11–15 mm. Nudum 11–13. Palpus ventrally red ferruginous. VHW costal area red ferruginous, from base to Sc end; subapical spot fainted orange; central and discal areas dark purple, delimited between well marked bands. Male genitalia: median posterior projection of tegumen reduced; fenestra semicircular. Uncus bifid with dorsal median lobe; arms closely separated at the base; valva with rectangular sacculus; harpe posteriorly projected, pointed; ampulla distinguished as a reduced squared projection. Coecum of aedeagus rounded, laterally straight; posterior end of aedeagus dorsally with reduced median membranous hollow, ventrally bilobed, lobes reduced; vesica with cornuti as small squared spines. Fultura inferior dorsally projected over aedeagus but not joined in an annellus, dorsally broad. Female genitalia: lateral expansion of lamella postvaginalis anteriorly of sterigma, in a ventral shell shape, with a posterior laminate projection connected centrally by a thin fold of anterior margin of the sterigma; ostium bursae projected by sterigma folds as a tube, whose ventral margin presents two truncated tips; posterior margin of sterigma with lateral truncate projections (whose width might vary) separated by an U-shaped concave margin; ductus bursae all membranous, with sclerotized structure within formed as lateral bars with internal spines; corpus bursae with lateral large signa.
