Cluzobra Edwards

Cluzobra Edwards, 1940: 463 .

Type –species. Acnemia binocellaris Edwards (orig. des.). References. Matile, 1996 (revision, phylogeny).

Diagnosis. General color yellowish brown, two or three ocelli; laterotergite and mediotergite setose (Figure 2), scutum usually with brownish and yellowish brown bands ( Figure 3 ); Sc complete, reaching at most the basal third of wing, sc–r absent, R4 absent, R5 ending before apex of M1, M1+2 short, M4 entirely absent, and usually a distal brownish band distally on the wing and brownish maculae around base of Rs, r–m, and M1+2; A1 very short, present as a sclerotized secondary fold posteriorly on the anal lobe; T8 short and wide, S8 strongly modified, elongated and with a fringe of setae on distal margin ( Figure 4 ); gonocoxites fused to each other mesally forming a syngonocoxite with variable distal extensions, forming a dorsal crypt.

Comments. The genus is well described by Matile (1996) and it is not necessary to redescribe it here. The placement of the new and the already described species in the species-groups created by Matile (1996) is in Table 1 .
