Triplocania mocoaensis View in CoL n. sp.

( Figs 230–241 View FIGURES 230 – 235 View FIGURES 236 – 241 )

Diagnosis. Central sclerite of hypandrium with well developed posterior projections, widely separated ( Fig. 234 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ); close to T. panchei n. sp., and T. camentsa n. sp., differing from them by the shape of the ends of the posterior projections, anterior area of sclerite and shape of phallosome sclerites; phallosome with mesal sclerite wide, transverse, H-shaped, with median pointed posterior process; anterior arms slender, pointed; posterior arms stout, distally denticulate ( Fig. 235 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ). IX sternum cup-shaped, with anterior border slightly emarginate ( Fig. 241 View FIGURES 236 – 241 ).

Male. Color (in 80% ethanol). Body pale brown. Compound eyes brown; ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Head pale brown, front with two diagonal stripes dark brown arranged as two horizontal Vs, extending from the inner border of each compound eye to the ocellar group; one small brown spot below the ocelli, and two curved bands from the epistomal sulcus, directed anteriorly ( Fig. 232 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ); genae pale brown, with small bottom area cream. Antennae pale brown, flagellomeres darker than scape and pedicel. Maxillary palps pale brown, Mx4 distally darker. Thorax pale brown, with some areas of the tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax cream. Tibiae and tarsi brown, coxae and trochanters cream, coxae with ochre spot proximally, femora pale brown. Forewings hyaline, pterostigma more pigmented; a pale brown marginal band from R4+5 to Cu1a; distal part of cu2 pale brown ( Fig. 230 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ). Small brown spots on vein ends. Hindwings hyaline. Abdomen pale cream, with subcuticular pale brown ochre spots on tergites. Hypandrium pale brown; clunium, paraprocts and epiproct cream, with small pale brown subcuticular areas. Phallosome dark brown.

Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head ( Fig. 232 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ): H/MxW: 1.62. H/D: 2.21, IO/MxW: 0.56, MxW/IO: 3.00. Vertex slightly emarginate, slightly below the level of the compound eyes. Outer cusp of lacinial tip broad, with five denticles. Mx4/Mx2: 1.16. Forewings ( Fig. 230 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ): L/W: 2.59, pterostigma: lp/wp: 5.36; areola postica high, la/ha: 2.24, distal part of Cu1a with gentle concavity. Hindwings ( Fig. 231 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ): l/w: 2.87. Hypandrium ( Fig. 234 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ); with abundant macrosetae mainly in the basal body. Phallosome V-shaped anteriorly, side struts slender; external parameres membranous, distally rounded, with outer border sclerotized, denticulate ( Fig. 235 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ). Anterior pair of endophallic sclerites M-shaped, inner arms robust, broadly triangular, with anterior border jagged, posteriorly wide, almost straight; outer arms semi-elliptic, with stout, pointed posterior process. Mesal sclerite as in diagnosis. Posterior pair with each arm broadly V-shaped, pointed anteriorly, with a row of teeth on inner border ( Fig. 235 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ). Paraprocts ( Fig. 233 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ), broad, with abundant medium and short setae in the posterior third; a macroseta near each sensory field; these with 25 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct wide, broadly triangular, with posterior border rounded ( Fig. 233 View FIGURES 230 – 235 ), setae as illustrated.

Female. Color (in 80% ethanol). Head, thorax, wings, legs and abdomen as in the males. Subgenital plate with brown, V-shaped, slender pigmented area wide; clunium, epiproct and paraprocts pale brown; gonapophyses and IX sternum brown.

Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head ( Fig. 238 View FIGURES 236 – 241 ): H/MxW: 1.60; H/D: 2.55, IO/MxW: 0.69, MxW/IO: 2.18. Vertex slightly emarginate, slightly above the level of the compound eyes. Outer cusp of lacinial tip broad, with five denticles. Mx4/Mx2: 1.50. Forewings ( Fig. 236 View FIGURES 236 – 241 ): L/W: 2.52, pterostigma: lp/wp: 4.96; areola postica high, la/ha: 2.05, distal part of Cu1a with gentle concavity, almost straight. Hindwings ( Fig. 237 View FIGURES 236 – 241 ): l/w: 2.90. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 240 View FIGURES 236 – 241 ) wide, with sides converging to rounded apex, with dense field of long setae. Gonapophyses ( Fig. 241 View FIGURES 236 – 241 ): v1 elongate, slender, acuminate; v2 +3 with sides almost parallel, a short proximal heel, and a row of eight macrosetae on v2, distal process long, sinuous and acuminate, with abundant microsetae.
