Terga and pleura of thorax mainly brown with composite maculation, sterna colorless; in immature larva cuticle of fore protoptera colorless ( Figs 58–59), before molt cuticle of protoptera becomes brown ( Fig 72). Legs light with or without diffusive darker macula at middle of femur, knee articulation and base of tarsus ( Figs 60–62). Most of abdominal terga brown with lighter areas; pigmentation variable, but pigmentation of tergum II always less extensive than pigmentation of tergum III (Figs 5 8–59, 69–71); terga IV and VIII usually lighter than others, often at most part non-pigmented ( Fig. 70), sometimes entirely non-pigmented ( Fig. 71), rarely as dark as others ( Fig. 69); tergum IX more or less pigmented; tergum X well-pigmented. Abdominal sterna light, sometimes with brown lateral markings; paraprocts brown, as remainder segment X. Caudalii lighter, with brown band near apex ( Fig. 73). HYPODERMAL COLORATION.

Chorion irregularly crumpled, without relief ( Fig. 146).  Dimension.Fore wing length: male and female 4 mm.   Distribution. Peru.  Variability.Among specimens examined, two forms can be distinguished. The first form («pallidus») includes specimens collected near Puerto Prado ( 6 maleand 4 femaleimagoes and subimagoes associated with larvae). They have transverse stripes on abdominal terga at most light brown or reddish, poorly expressed or non-expressed ( Fig. 79); larvae of all these 10 specimenshave prostheca of left mandible with 3 blunt processes and 3 pointed processes ( Fig. 65). The second form («nigrostriatus») includes specimens collected near Contamana, Pampa Hermosa and Puente Itaya ( 11 maleand 11 femaleimagoes and subimagoes associated with larvae). They have transverse stripes on imaginal abdominal terga at most well expressed, contrastingly dark brown or black ( Figs 76–78); among them, 18 larvaehave prostheca of left mandible with 3 blunt processes and 4 pointed processes ( Fig. 63); 2 specimenshave prostheca of left mandible with 3 blunt processes and 5 pointed processes; 2 specimens(male and female imagoes reared from larvae near Contamana) have prostheca of left mandible with 3 blunt processes and 3 pointed processes. Among 2 specimensfrom Aguaytia (mature female larvae with developed subimaginal parts) one has features of the form «pallidus» (small brown hypodermal stripes on abdominal terga and left prostheca with 3+3 processes) and another has features of the from «nigrostriatus» (long black hypodermal stripes on abdominal terga and left prostheca with 3+4 processes). The form «pallidus» well agrees with the original description of  C. redactusbased on larvae from Tingo Maria, for which dark hypodermal stripers on larval abdominal terga are not reported, and left prostheca is figured with 3 blunt processes and 3 pointed processes ( Roback 1966: Fig. 33). I could not find other differences between these two forms, and regard them to be conspecific.  Comparison.Female imago, female subimago and female mature larva of  C. redactuscan be recognized by presence of contrasting brown hypodermal triangular maculae on abdominal sterna. Imago and subimago of both sexes can be recognized by having contrasting dark transverse lines or paired stripes on posterior margins of abdominal terga ( Figs 76–78, 84), but in some individuals these markings are lighter ( Fig. 79) or absent. Larva can be distinguished from other species by the characters given in the key (see above).   Discussion.Preliminary description (without formal species name) was based on 6 larvaefrom three rivers near Tingo Maria in Peru( Roback 1966). Formal original description was based on 2 of these larvae from the river Cantaria at Puente Perez ( Waltz & McCafferty 1987b). Larvae described above, well agree with the original description; they were collected in various localities in Peru, and two specimens were collected near Aguaytia, about 50 kmfrom the type locality. McCafferty & Lugo-Ortiz (1996: 19–28) reported “  C. redactus” from Honduraswithout more details.   FIGURES 63–68.  Cloeodes redactus, larva. 63–64, left and right mandibles with developing mandibles of next instar inside (form «nigrostriatus»); 65–66, left and right mandibles (form «pallidus»); 67, paraprocts; 68, tarsus of hind leg, view from outer side.   FIGURES 69–75.  Cloeodes redactus. 69–73, larval exuviae: 69–71, abdomen; 72, right half of pronotum and mesonotum; 73, caudalii; 74–75, subimaginal exuviae: 74, half of mesonotum; 75, part of meso- and metapleuron with postsubalar sclerite, lateropostnotal crest and part of middle leg. Abbreviations: I–X, abdominal segments I–X.   FIGURES 76–81.  Cloeodes redactus, male imagoes. 76–78, form «nigrostriatus»; 79, form «pallidus» (with partly shed subimaginal exuviae); 80, fore leg; 81, middle leg.   FIGURES 82–85.  Cloeodes redactus, female imago, form «nigrostriatus».   FIGURES 86–91.  Cloeodes redactus, male genitals. 86–88, form «nigrostriatus»; 89–91, form «pallidus». 86 and 89, subimaginal gonostyli developing under larval cuticle; 87 and 90, exuviae of subimaginal genitals; 88 and 91, genitals of male imago (gonovectes shown by interrupted line; at right half gonovectal and gonostylar muscles shown by interrupted lines; median styligeral muscle shown by interrupted lines, areas of anterior attachment of median paraproctal muscles shown by dotted lines). Abbreviations: 1, 2, 3, segments of gonostylus; m.IX-X, areas of anterior attachment of median paraproctal muscles (i.e., muscles going from sternum IX to common base of paraprocts); m.sg, median sterno-styligeral muscle; usg, unistyliger. Nieto and co-authors ( Nieto & Richard 2008; Nieto & Emmerich 2011) keyed larva of “  C. redactus” as having denticles on posterior margin on abdominal tergum I, but did not report origin of this information. Actually, denticles on abdominal tergum I are absent or vestigial.  Massariol et al. (2013)described larvae and female imago determined by them as “  C. redactus”. Description of this female imago is based on one female imago reared from larva in Reserva Ducke in Manaus, while description of larvae are based on 20 larvaecollected in Igarape do Anta in Barcelos (F.F. Salles, personal communication). Photos of these larvae contradict the original description of  C. redactus: in  C. redactus“abdomen dark brown with light pattern ... tergites 4 and 8 lighter” ( Roback 1966) ( Waltz & McCafferty 1987b: Fig. 43), while on the photos abdominal terga I–IV and VII–VIII nearly lack cuticular pigmentation, and only terga V–VI and IX–X have brown cuticular pigmentation ( Massariol et al. 2013: Figs 5, 6). Female imago ascribed by Massariol et al. (2013)to  C. redactushas abdominal terga with red and orange median markings and sterna washed with orange with lighter sigilla ( Massariol et al. 2013: Fig. 31–32), while female imagoes reared by me, have no such red and orange coloration, but have contrasting brown lateral spots on abdominal sterna ( Figs 82–86). Thus, larvae and female imago described by Massariol et al. (2013)under the name “  Cloeodes redactus”, do not belong to this species, and possibly represent a new species.  Falcao et al. (2011)reported larvae of  C. barituensis Nieto & Richard 2008from Roraima, Braziland gave photos of total dorsal view and labium ( Falcao et al. 2011: Figs 89, 90). Coloration of this larva markedly differs from described for  C. barituensis. Judging by cuticular coloration (mainly brown with lighter blanks and lightest abdominal segments IV and VIII) and hypodermal coloration (dark transverse stripes on posterior margins of abdominal terga) larva from Roraimacan belong to  C. redactus. 1632929437 2006-02-23 La Choza & N.
