Daveyoungana maniforma View in CoL sp. nov.

( Figs 1C, D View FIGURE 1. A – D , F, G, 2E–H, 5A–J, 6A–I)

Male 5.8 mm long, female 6.3 mm long. Color ochraceous with brown to black markings dorsally. crown with pair of black spots located midway between midline and eye; pronotum and scutellum with symmetrical black pattern on pronotum and scutellum; forewing brownish, costal margin yellow; venter stramineous.

Male abdomen with sternite VII triangularly produced posteriorly, acuminate, lateral margin slightly concave. Pygofer with ventral process lamellar, apex with fingerlike process directed dorsad and shorter acute process directed ventrad; style with apophysis elongate, slightly curved at apex; connective broadly Y-shaped; aedeagus elongate, shaft expanded subapically, with two pairs of subapical lateral processes extended distad, acute apically, with pair of strongly divergent apical processes.

Material examined. Holotype male, Ecuador: Orellana, Transect Ent, 1km S Onkonegare Camp, Reseva Etnica Waorani 00°39'10''S, 076°26'00'', 3 July 1995, W, T. L. Erwin et al., fogging terra firme forest, Lot#1102 ( USNM). Paratype, 1 female, same data as holotype except Lot#1212, 6 Oct 1995 ( INHS).

Remarks. The new species is very similar to D. collosa , but can be easily distinguished by the aedeagus with two pairs of subapical processes and a pair of apical processes, without a process arising from the dorsal apodeme; and the pygofer processes with two straight apical processes. The species name refers to the handlike shape of aedeagus.
