Cladiopsocus pancheorum n. sp. Male

( Figs 63–69 View FIGURES 63–69 )

Diagnosis. Belonging in species group “2”, subgroup 3, in the classification of Eertmoed (1986). Paraproct tubercle reduced; wings hyaline, without spots and vein stubs as in C. domesticus (New) , C. iscuande n. sp., C. altamiraensis n. sp., C. tukunare n. sp., and the female of C. clarus Eertmoed. The shape of the phallosome and wings relates it to C. domesticus , C. iscuande n. sp., and C. altamiraensis n. sp., but unlike them, the forewing R3 is straight, R2+3 is slightly longer than R3 (1.04) ( Fig. 63 View FIGURES 63–69 ) and the legs have three tarsomeres. This was already mentioned by Gonzalez et al. (2016: p. 75) as C. domesticus (New) , based on an erroneous identification.

Color. Head ( Fig. 65 View FIGURES 63–69 ) brown, vertex, front, postclypeus and anteclypeus dark brown, labrum, mandibles, labium and maxillae pale brown. Compound eyes dark brown, ocelli hyaline in a dark brown area. Antennae and maxillary palps brown. Pro- and metanotum pale brown, mesonotum brown, thoracic pleura and legs pale brown. Forewing membrane hyaline ( Fig. 63 View FIGURES 63–69 ); veins brown, without brown spots along the veins and at wing margin. Hindwings hyaline, veins brown ( Fig. 64 View FIGURES 63–69 ). Abdomen brown, clunium brown; hypandrium epiproct, paraproct and phallosome brown, paraproctal prong darker proximally.

Morphology. As in diagnosis plus the following: head vertex emarginate, almost at the same level of the upper margin of the compound eyes ( Fig. 65 View FIGURES 63–69 ); these large, with interommatidial setae, D is 0.54 the length of the head in front view; Forewings ( Fig. 63 View FIGURES 63–69 ); membrane pterostigma with setae, without spur veins. Hypandrium semioval, crescent-shaped, broad, posterior margin rounded, with medium sized setae and macrosetae. Phallosome arched, with internal parameres united posteriorly, with median posterior elongate tongue distally dilated; external parameres well developed, membranous, broad, triangular ( Fig. 67 View FIGURES 63–69 ). Epiproct broadly trapeziform, posterior margin slightly rounded ( Fig. 68 View FIGURES 63–69 ), with three macrosetae mesally and one near each postero-lateral corner, posterior setal field as illustrated. Paraprocts broad ( Fig. 69 View FIGURES 63–69 ) with medium sized setae and macrosetae as illustrated; mesal prong short, dilated distally, rounded; sensory fields with 18 trichobothria on basal rosettes, plus one trichobothrium without basal rosette.
