Triplocania atratoensis View in CoL n. sp.

( Figs 31–42 View FIGURES 31–36 View FIGURES 37–42 )

Diagnosis. Belonging in species group lucida , of Subgroup MPB2A (see Classification below); it is close to T. yanacona González, Carrejo & García Aldrete , differing from it in the shape of the hypandrium, in having the postero-lateral processes stouter and distally rounded, in having a V-shaped promontory anteriorly in the median posterior process, and in having the distal lobes of the median posterior process longer ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 31–36 ); also, the posterior arms of the mesal sclerite are slender and longer than in T. yanacona ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 31–36 ); IX sternum of two sections, with wide anterior and posterior lobes, anterior half deeply concave in the middle.

Male. Color (in 80% ethanol). Body brown, with cream spots. Head pale brown, with dark brown pattern ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 31–36 ). Compound eyes black, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Maxillary palps pale brown, Mx4 darker. Tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax brown; pleurae dark brown, with cream spots. Fore- coxae brown, with small dark spots anteriorly and posteriorly; mid and hind- coxae cream, with small brown spots anteriorly and posteriorly; trochanters cream; femora cream, with distal brown spots in mid- and hind- legs; tibiae and tarsi pale brown. Forewing pattern ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 31–36 ). Pterostigma with proximal and distal brown bands; a pale brown submarginal pigmented band from R 4+5 to CuA 1. Hindwings hyaline ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 31–36 ). Abdomen pale brown, with cream areas; hypandrium pale brown; endophallic sclerites dark brown.

Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 31–36 ): H/MxW: 1.56; H/D: 2.05; IO/MxW: 0.50. Vertex slightly emarginate, slightly below the level of the upper border of the compound eyes. Outer cusp of lacinial tips broad, with four-five wide denticles. Mx4/Mx2: 1.67. Forewings ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 31–36 ): L/W: 2.49. Pterostigma: lp/wp: 4.31. Areola postica slanted posteriorly: la/ha: 1.78, CuA 1 gently concave distally. Hindwings ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 31–36 ): l/p: 2.87. Hypandrium ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 31–36 ) of three sclerites. Phallosome ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 31–36 ) with side struts slender, Y-shaped, independent, straight distally; anterior endophallic sclerites stout, narrowing distally, each anteriorly bilobed, with an acuminate process on outer border, near the anterior end, directed posteriorly; lateral sclerites curved, dilated distally, truncate. Mesal endophallic sclerite with anterior arms long, slender, distally acuminate; posterior arms distally acuminate, each with a pre-apical tooth on outer border; pair of posterior sclerites transverse, with acuminate processe directed outward. Paraprocts oval, with medium and short setae and macrosetae on apical third, at least two macrosetae with spatulate apices, a macroseta near each sensory field, these with 26 trichobothria on basal rosettes ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 31–36 ). Epiproct ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 31–36 ) wide, convex anteriorly, rounded posteriorly, setae as illustrated.
