Erythrogonia hertha Medler, 1963 View in CoL
( Figs 33–45 View FIGURES 33 – 45 )
Length: female 7.7–7.8 mm (n = 2), male 7.6–8.1 mm (n = 2).
Diagnosis. Head and pronotum dark brown to black, mesonotum red; crown with triangular pale yellow macula contiguous with oval median macula on pronotum ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ). Forewings ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ) red with rounded pale yellow macula basally on clavus and corium and with oblique white macula near claval apex; costal margin and basal macula bordered with dark brown to black; membrane dark brown. Male genitalia with styles longer than half length of subgenital plates; aedeagal shaft without processes; dorsal apodemes of aedeagus developed into elongate processes directed ventrally and then posteriorly, as long as pygofer. Female sternite VII ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ) longer than wide, posterior margin broadly emarginate; sternite VIII ( Figs 34 and 35 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ) with pair of striated sclerotized areas; first valvifers ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ) without processes or additional sclerites; ovipositor valvulae without projections or additional sclerites.
Female genitalia. Sternite VII ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ) longer than wide, elongate, subrectangular; posterior margin broadly emarginate and with slight notch medially, with pair of small lateral projections; lateral margins slightly concave medially; ventral surface with few irregular striae, without setae; dorsal (inner) surface with pair of transverse elevations along posterior margin, delimiting median sulcus. Sternite VIII ( Figs 34 and 35 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ), in dorsal view, with pair of striated sclerotized areas above bases of ovipositor valvulae. Pygofer well produced posteriorly; posterior margin narrowly rounded; macrosetae mostly on posterior half and extending anteriorly along ventral portion. First valvifers ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ) without processes or additional sclerites. First pair of valvulae ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ) with basal portion slightly curved dorsally and without projections; sculptured areas ( Figs 37–40 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ) as in E. phoenicea and E. calva ; dorsal margin approximately rectilinear after basal curvature; ventral margin convex medially; apex acute ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ); ventral interlocking device ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 33 – 45 , VID) as in E. phoenicea and E. calva . Second pair of valvulae ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ) broadened beyond basal curvature, narrowing towards narrowly rounded apex ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ); ventral margin approximately rectilinear; preapical prominence ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ) inconspicuous; with approximately 26 teeth; teeth ( Figs 42–44 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ), denticles ( Figs 43–45 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ), and ducts ( Figs 43–45 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ) as in E. phoenicea and E. calva ; dorsal dentate apical portion smaller than ventral one ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 33 – 45 ); valvulae without additional sclerites. Gonoplacs as in E. phoenicea and E. calva .
Distribution. Brazil (states of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Santa Catarina).
Material examined. Brazil: state of Rio de Janeiro: one male and two females ( MNRJ); state of São Paulo: one female and one male ( MNRJ).
