The specific epithet pilimaculata is an adjective derived from the Latin pilus- ("hair" or "seta") and the adjectival ending - maculata ("spotted" or "blotched"). The name refers to the conspicuous setose orange spot on the hind wing of the species, which is described as "spotted with hairs."</p><p>Type material. Holotype. Male.

In life, overall coloration vivid light green, with a lateral stripe extending from the pronotum to the apex of the tegmina and the end of the abdomen. Hind wing, when at rest, with the exposed portion orangish, formed by the cells of the radial branch. Eyes with a scarlet red color.Antennae of the same orangish tone as the last three maxillary palpomeres, last labial palpomeres, tibiae, tarsi, post-tarsi, and the exposed portion of the hind wings. Cerci emerald green with an orange apex (Figs. 1A–E). Due to contact with alcohol, the general coloration became yellowish, with variations in tone ranging from lighter to darker yellow (Figs. 2A–C). Head small and oval (Fig. 2D); antennal scape robust and long, almost as long as an eye (Fig. 2D); eyes taller than wide; maxillary palp with the first two palpomeres almost equal in length, the third longer than the first two combined, the fourth as long as the first two combined, and the fifth slightly longer than the fourth, conical, widened posteriorly, and with apex truncated (Figs. 2H–I); labial palps with the three palpomere almost equal in length, but with the last notably expanded posteriorly, roundly truncated (Figs. 2J–K). Pronotum longer than wide in dorsal view, almost as tall as long in lateral view, and covered with fine bristles (Figs. 2A, D). Wings. Tegmina distinctly setose and smaller than the hindwings; stridulatory apparatus absent (Figs. 1A–E, 2A–C). Hindwings with a conspicuous, reticulated, and setose area in the remigium region, in the radial branch, near the apex (Fig. 2E). Legs. First pair of legs more robust than the second (Figs. 3A–B), with femora longer than tibiae and a very wide tympanal opening on the inner surface of tibiae (Fig. 3B). Second pair of legs more slender, with tibiae longer than femora (Figs. 3C–D). Hind legs with a robust femur, almost as long as the tibia; tibiae with three pairs of intercalated mid-distal dorsal spurs, three very reduced apical outer spurs (Fig. 3E), one very reduced inner dorso-apical spur, and two more elongated mid and ventral apical spurs (Fig. 3D). Abdomen cylindrical, with very long cerci, almost as long as the abdomen, reaching the apex of the hindwings (Figs. 2A–C); thenth tergite conical, with a distinct convex posterior margin; subgenital plate short, almost as long as wide, with a posterior margin gently convex, narrowing towards the apex in ventral view (Fig. 2F), and longer than tall in lateral view, somewhat triangular (Fig. 2G). Phallic complex. In dorsal and ventral views, pseudepiphallic apical lobes rounded-truncated, separated by a narrow incision, with a wide outer margin and flattening centrally. In lateral view, pseudepiphallic apical lobes' dorsal margins slightly convex, with rounded apex. Pseudepiphallic paramere nearly inconspicuous. Pseudepiphallic apodeme, in dorsal and ventral views, long, longer than half of the ectophallic apodeme length, and sinuous. Ectophallic fold lanceolate, elongated, and extending longitudinally to the phallus median region. Ectophallic apodeme narrow, elongate, with internal curvature toward the median axis. Endophallic sclerite with three discontinuous parts. Central portion oval, and the lateral branches project laterally (forming endophallic apodemes). Ejaculatory vesicles broad, rounded, and positioned proximally.</p><p>Female. Unknown</p><p>Diagnosis. Hebardinella pilimaculata sp. nov. differs from Hebardinella americana by possessing a less widened terminal segment of the maxillary palp and a teardrop-shaped, truncated-rounded labial palp. In H. americana, the terminal segments of the maxillary palps are broadly widened and triangular, and the labial palps are broadly and straightly truncated. The subgenital plate in H. pilimaculata sp. nov. is short, nearly as long as wide, with the posterior margin gently convex, narrowing towards the apex. Conversely, in H. americana, the subgenital plate is long, notably longer than wide, with an emarginate apex featuring two inwardly curved projections (Fig. 5). Regarding the phallic complex, H. pilimaculata sp. nov. lacks lateral pseudepiphallic lobes, which are welldeveloped in H. americana, projecting beyond the apical lobes.</p><p>Measurements (in mm). Total body length: 6.1; Tegmen length: 4.9; Hindwing length: 8.0; Pronotum length: 1.2; Pronotum width: 0.8; Femur length: 4.4.</p><p>Comments. Almost a century later, the new species described herein represents the second record of the genus Hebardinella in South America, which was originally monospecific since its description by Chopard in 1932. The type species was initially recorded from French Guiana but later found in Central America, specifically in Panama (Hebard 1928) and Costa Rica (Otte 2006). The discovery of this new species in Belém, Para State, in the Northern region of Brazil, expands the known geographical distribution of Hebardinella and the still underestimated diversity of Trigonidiinae in South America. The presence of a new species in South American territory suggests that the genus may be more widely distributed than previously thought, or that it has gone unnoticed due to the scarcity of targeted collecting and the difficulty in identifying cryptic taxa.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038C87822E17FFEAFF67AD1F8A78F0BF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
