TRICHADENOTECNUM NICARAGUENSE View in CoL SP. NOV.

Material examined: Holotype. Male. Nicaragua: Granada, Volcán Mombacho , Santa Ana no. 2, 15.vii.1978, J. M. Maes ( UNAM) . Paratypes. Nicaragua: 1 male , Granada, Volcán Mombacho , 340 m, 15.xii.1997, J. M. Maes ( UNAM); 1 male , Granada, Volcán Mombacho , San Joaquín #1, 16.iii.1998, J. M. Maes ( UNAM) .

Etymology: The specific epithet derives from Nicaragua, the country of origin of this species.

Description: Male. Head. White in ground colour; vertical and orbital markings blackish brown; coronal suture black; frontal suture bordered with blackish brown band dorsally; frons with pair of faint brown bands at middle and with pair of circular blackish brown spots laterally; gena white dorsally, blackish brown ventrally; eye black, IO/D = 0.6; ocelli white, ocellar field black; antennal socket bordered with dark brown band; postclypeus with c. eight rows of pale brown spots dorsally, fused with each other ventrally to form a large blackish brown marking, lateral margin of postclypeus brown, dorsal margin and ventro-lateral corner without marking; anteclypeus brown. Antenna brown. Mouth parts pale brown; 4th segment of maxillary palpus dark brown.

Thorax. Prothorax brown. Mesonotum white; anterior surface of scutum pale brown; anterior margin of lateral lobe of scutum black; posterior region of lateral lobe of scutum pale brown; scutellum dark brown medially, anterior margin blackish brown; postnotum white. Metanotum dark brown, with white markings on anterior and posterior regions of lateral lobe of scutum; anterior margin of scutellum darker. Mesopleuron white, except dorsal third and ventral margin dark brown. Metapleuron brown except membranous region white.

Legs. Dark brown; fore and middle femora with paler region medially; fore and middle tibiae pale brown with blackish brown part near distal end.

Forewing ( Fig. 17L View Figure 17 ). Spots in cell a 1 apparent and narrowly separated from each other, distal spot large. Opposing spots in cell r distinct but posterior spot small. Proximal band narrow, broadly interrupted just beyond fork of M + Cu, with round lighter pigmented portion in cell CuA. Distal band narrow but distinct especially in cell r 5. Spot on roof of cell m 3 broad and distinct. Submarginal spots apparent; spots in cells r 5 and m 1 larger; spot in cell m 3 indistinct. Marginal clouds apparent, darker in cells r 5 and m 1. Hindwing. Hyaline, cell CuP with faint brown irregular marking and spots in distal half; veins brown.

Abdomen. White with irregular brown markings. Terminalia. Clunial arm ( Fig. 35A View Figure 35 ) well sclerotized, long, forming free process apically, with wellsclerotized lobe covered with denticles. Eighth venter ( Fig. 35C View Figure 35 ) with transverse rectangular sclerite, posteriorly fused with hypandrium at middle. Epiproct lobe ( Fig. 35B View Figure 35 ) wider than long, broadened dorsally, dorsal margin deeply hollowed, medially with conical process directed posteriorly, posterior surface swollen. Paraproct ( Fig. 35A View Figure 35 ): ventro-lateral band very short, tongue-shaped; distal process short. Hypandrium ( Fig. 35C View Figure 35 ): left and right processes well developed, rising from postero-lateral corners, almost straight, apices directed posteriorly; median tongue constricted medially, posterior margin concave, dorsal keel rounded. Phallosome ( Fig. 35D View Figure 35 ): aedeagus unsclerotized; pseudoparameres weakly sclerotized, broadly separated, rounded apically. Phallobase narrowing to pointed anterior end.
