Adults. Unknown

Etymology. This species is dedicated to William Dialuto, because of him the richness of Rocha's ecosystems is known. His commitment to preservation of the environment is invaluable.

Diagnosis. Cloeodes dialutoi sp. nov. can be distinguished from the other species of the genus by the following combination of characters: 1) hind wing pads present; 2) labium with segment III of palpi rounded ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 4 – 14 ); 3) dorsal margin of femora with a row of blunt spines, apically with a subquadrangular projection and two blunt spines ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 4 – 14 ); 4) abdominal color pattern in Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 3 , with segments I, IV, VIII with reddish spots, segments II-III, VI-VII, IX-X brownish, segment V pale brown.
