Maruina (Maruina) barrettoi Bravo

( Figs. 24–28 )

Maruina (Maruina) barrettoi Bravo, 2005: 640–642 .

Maruina pilosella ; Barreto, 1954: 64 (misidentification).

Diagnosis. Combination of the following characters: R 5 connected to M 1 at base; anterior aedeagal spines thin and not reaching the apical 1/3 of aedeagus, posterior spines thick, numerous and strongly sclerotized.

Material examined. Type material: paratype: ♂ BRAZIL, São Paulo, Rancharia, Usina Caiuá (type locality), viii.1940, col. M. Barretto ( MZFS) ; Paratype ♀ same data . Other material: 2 ♀, 13 ♂ BRAZIL, Santa Catarina, São Joaquim, Rio Pelotas (#9), 28°28’46.5”S; 50°04’27.1”W, 853m. a.n.m. 21.viii.2013, col. Hamada, N., Nascimento, J.M.C. & Fusari, L. ( INPA) .

Distribution. Brazil (São Paulo, Santa Catarina).

Remarks. Bravo (2005) provided a differential diagnosis for M. (M.) barrettoi and M. (M.) pilosella based on the drawings of male terminalia of Müller (1895). We include here, complete illustrations of the male and female head ( Figs. 24–25 ), an illustration of the wing, showing the connection between vein R 5 and M 1 ( Fig. 26 ) and a detailed illustration of female hypogynium, showing the internal lateral bristles ( Figs. 27–28 ). The connection of veins R 5 and M 1 is found in both males and females, but this can vary from a well delimited to a faint connection.
