Hendelia napo ( Caloren & Marshall, 1998)

( Figs 41–44 )

Clusiodes napo Caloren & Marshall 1998: 305 . Hendelia napo . Lonsdale & Marshall 2007: 147.

Diagnosis. Body length 3.3–3.8mm. Bristles brown and vibrissa narrow. Posterior fronto-orbital absent. Head yellow (paler below antenna) with clypeus and ocellar tubercle brown; female frons darker posteromedially. Scutellum and broad subnotal stripe brown; male scutum with long medial stripe and with lateral and anterior margins brown; female with brown regions on scutum fused, leaving only one pair of yellow sublateral stripes. Legs yellow with medial band on hind tibia and distal tarsomere on each leg brown, or only hind tibia brown with apex yellowish and dorsal and ventral margins yellowish to yellow, and distal tarsomere on each leg brown; female tarsi more extensively darkened, with only base of basal segment or basal two and a half segments yellow, distal two segments on mid leg sometimes brown and distal two and a half segments on hind leg sometimes brown. Wing infuscated apically, fading towards posterior margin; female also with lighter infuscation around r-m and around veins on distal half of cell dm or around both cross veins. Posteromedial bristles on sternite 5 stout, but terminalia otherwise relatively plesiomorphic: epandrium and surstylus with margins rounded and smooth, and surstylus with tubercle-like bristles on inner surface; internal components small, smooth and slender with longitudinal wrinkles on pregonite. Spermatheca globose, approximately as wide as long, and with deep transverse medial and basal wrinkles.

Distribution. Ecuador, Venezuela. Previously known only from Ecuador.
