Tetralidia pachamama View in CoL sp. nov.

( Figs 1–11 View FIGURES 1 – 11 , 23–24 View FIGURES 23 – 26 )

Diagnosis. Subgenital plates, in ventral view ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ), slightly narrowed towards apex; connective ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) Vshaped; aedeagus ( Figs 10–11 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) with simple shaft, without processes, spines or lamellae, apex curved ventrally; anal tube ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) with long basiventral processes turned posteriorly, areolate-sculptured at apical third.

Measurements (mm). Male holotype: total length 7.1; crown median length 0.75; transocular width 1.37; interocular width 0.81; pronotum median length 0.66; width between humeri 1.62; mesonotum median length 1.0; mesonotum maximum width 1.2; forewing length 5.7; forewing maximum width 1.55.

General color. Body ( Figs 23–24 View FIGURES 23 – 26 ) with ground color pale yellow. Crown ( Figs 1 View FIGURES 1 – 11 , 23 View FIGURES 23 – 26 ) with two pairs of orange maculae, maculae of anterior pair subtriangular close to anterior margin, and the other at basal half, subquadrangular, adjacent to compound eyes. Frons ( Fig. 2 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) without maculae. Pronotum ( Figs 1, 3 View FIGURES 1 – 11 , 23–24 View FIGURES 23 – 26 ) with five orange stripes, only median stripe complete. Forewings ( Figs 4 View FIGURES 1 – 11 , 23–24 View FIGURES 23 – 26 ) yellowish and hyaline, without maculae. Legs yellow ( Fig. 24 View FIGURES 23 – 26 ), with concolorous setae.

External morphology. External morphological characters as in generic description ( Marques-Costa & Cavichioli, 2008), except: forewing ( Figs 4 View FIGURES 1 – 11 , 23–24 View FIGURES 23 – 26 ) about 3.7 times longer than maximum width; venation weakly visible, except apically.

Male terminalia. Pygofer ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ), in lateral view, weakly produced; lobe higher than long; posterior margin slightly concave; apex rounded with few microsetae. Subgenital plates, in ventral view ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ), with basal twothirds fused; enlarged at base and gradually narrowed towards apex; lateral margins with slight concavity between basal third and middle third, and between middle third and apical third; ventral surface with three pairs of preapical setae; apices rounded; in lateral view ( Fig 7 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ), approximately as long as pygofer; slightly curved dorsally; dorsal margin with numerous setae on middle third. Connective ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) V-shaped; approximately half length of styles. Styles ( Figs 8–9 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) without preapical lobe; apex sclerotized and truncated, moderately curved ventrally; with setae on ventral preapical portion. Aedeagus ( Figs 10–11 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) long and narrow, simple, without processes, spines or lamellae; shaft slightly sinuous, apex curved ventrally, slightly bilobed; preapical gonopore. Anal tube ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) membranous; with pair of elongated basiventral processes turned posteriorly, areolate-sculptured at apical third.

Female unknown.

Etymology. The new species name alludes to the fertility goddess of Inca mythology.

Material examined. Male holotype: PERU, Cusco, Sierra de Santa\ Rosa, 23 rd km E Makuzo\ 12°58’03”S 70°19’56”W \ 450m, 21.viii.2012, light\ A.P.M. Santos & D.M. Takiya” ( MUSM). Male Paratype: same data as holotype, ( DZRJ).

Notes. Tetralidia pachamama sp. nov. resembles Tetralidia viracocha sp. nov. in having the pygofer lobe higher than long; aedeagus with shaft longer than the preatrium, with apex curved ventrally; and anal tube with basiventral processes strongly directed posteriorly. However, it can be easily distinguished from this and other species of the genus by the simple aedeagus, without processes, spines or lamellae.
