Nallachius phantomellus Adams View in CoL

We examined a single male specimen of this species collected in Ecuador. It agreed in most aspects with the description and illustrations presented in Adams (1970) and Machado and Rafael (2010). The distinctive wing maculation, and configuration of the gonocoxites and internal genital armature matched those described by Adams. The specimen we examined differed in having the tip of gonocoxite entire rather than serrate as in N. phantomellus . The type material described by Adams (1970) was collected from the Rio Caragualà, Brazil. The specimen we examined from Ecuador was from some 3,000 km to the northwest of the type locality. This collection suggests that N. phantomellus has a more widespread distribution in South America than previously reported, or the specimen from Ecuador represents an undescribed and closely related species. Until additional material becomes available we are considering this species to be N. phantomellus . Nallachius loxanus Navás , a member of the americanus species group, is the only other dilarid species known from Ecuador.
