Chimarrha manni Banks, 1924: 448 .

Chimarra indigota Mosely, 1941: 361 View in CoL , new synonym.

The genitalia of this species, particularly the gonopods, resemble those of C. helomyzida , C. kimminsi , C. cartwrighti , C. lavensis , C. devoensis , C. cakaudrovensis , C. devoensis , C. malaisei View in CoL , and C. vanuensis . It is easily distinguished from C. kimminsi , C. helomyzida , C. tipulida and C. cartwrighti by the presence of 2 pairs of endothecal spines (not 1 pair); from C. lavensis , C. devoensis , and C. vanuensis by the absence of a prominent dorsad-oriented process on each of the lateral lobes of tergum X; and from C. cakaudrovensis by its shorter segment IX and more prominent dorsal branches of tergum X.

Male. Body ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 32 – 34 ): Head and thorax dark brown, dorsal part of meso- and metathorax slightly darker brown than rest of thorax. Area between ocelli nearly black. Foreleg anterior claw as long as foreleg spur.

Wings ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 14 – 21 ). Forewings 6.4 mm (lectotype), dark brown, iridescent. Forewings broad, ratio of length to breadth 3.0; R1 weakly undulating before crossvein r; radial sector not produced anterad immediately before discoidal cell; discoidal cell originating distally of mid-length of wing, 2.5x longer than wide; median cell slightly longer than discoidal cell; crossvein r originating from basis of R2; fork I originating immediately before crossvein s at distance equal to 1/5th length of crossvein s; nygma located near base of fork II; fork III 1 /6th as long as wing; fork V as long as fork II; Cu2 ending in wing margin well separated from A. Hind wings 5.3 mm (lectotype), brown, iridescent; ratio of length to breadth 2.8; margin weakly incurved at arculus, where Cu1 and Cu2 fused with margin; fork I originating from anterodistal corner of discoidal cell; fork III slightly longer than discoidal cell and 1/7th as long as wing; fork V longer than fork I; 1A+2A about 4x as long as 1A.

Male genitalia ( Figs. 105–110 View FIGURES 105 – 110 ). Segment IX nearly 1.2x taller than long; in lateral view each side produced anterad into rectangular ventral plate and 1/2 as high triangular dorsal plate; ventral margins slightly convex, slightly constricted at vertical apodeme; anterodorsal margin with deep, U-shaped concavity; each posterior margin slightly convex; segment IX ventrally with with setae restricted to band at posterior 1/3rd ( Fig. 107 View FIGURES 105 – 110 ). Dorsal part of segment IX irregular in lateral view, slightly membranous before tergum X. In dorsal view segment IX with long, narrow ventral plates; dorsal plates narrow, triangular; gap between dorsal plates oval. In ventral view segment IX narrowing strongly at mid-length at transverse apodeme, anterior margin shallowly triangular, posterior margin slightly concave. Tergum X short, divided into pair of lateral branches; in lateral view each lateral branch with broad dorsal, rounded lobe, and short, nearly straight, tube-shaped ventral branch, with 2 apical sensillae. Each ventral branch with ventrolaterad directed, sharply triangular lateral process situated at mid-length, near ventral margin. In dorsal and ventral view, ventral processes broad at basis; slender distally of lateral processes. Cerci located dorsally on posterior margin of segment IX, about at mid-height of tergum X; wart-like in lateral and dorsal view; with long setae. Gonopods nearly as long as height of segment IX; in lateral view broad basal 1/2, strongly expanded ventrally into rounded lobe, narrowing distally; distal 1/2 almost straight, nearly parallel-sided; each gonopod apparentlyunbranched in lateral view. In lateral view anterodorsal margin of each gonopod nearly straight, smooth; posteroventral margin undulating, with mesal megasetae on posterior margin of ventral lobe; apex with marginal, mesad oriented megasetae. In ventral view, gonopods slightly broader at base than at distal part, with nearly straight, slightly undulating posterior margins; gonopods slightly curved mesad toward rounded apex. Phallic apparatus longer than rest of genitalia (with expanded endotheca), straight along its length; narrowest at midlength in lateral view; in lateral view phallotheca about 2x thicker than narrowest posterior part; in ventral view about 2x thicker than posterior part; apicoventral spine absent; phallotremal sclerite with 4 posterior rays originating from anterior plate, central rays very thin, situated closely; 4 nearly black, variously directed endothecal spines present, all shorter than diameter of narrowest part of phallotheca; endothecal spicules absent.
