Evansolidia setacea View in CoL , sp. nov.

( Plate 4B, Figs. 210–217)

Length. Male 7.80–9.10 mm; female unknown.

External morphology. Large, robust species. General color orange and black ( Plate 4B). Head narrower than pronotum, anterior margin broadly rounded; crown about as wide as width of eyes, produced distally about ½ median length, slightly elevated, lateral margins convergent basally; eyes large, elongate ovoid; pronotum moderately large, about a long as median length of crown; mesonotum large, about 1/3 as long as median length of pronotum; forewings typical; clypeus long, narrow, lateral margins broadly convex; clypellus moderately long, about 1/3 as long as clypeus, slightly inflated basally, lateral margins constricted subbasally, apex expanded.

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view subtriangulate, glabrous, caudal processes absent ( Fig. 210); right subgenital plate long, narrow, glabrous ( Fig. 211); style robust, moderately long, shorter than aedeagus, apophysis broad in apical 2/ 3 in dorsal view, apex with small, triangulate lobe ( Figs. 212, 213); aedeagus long, tubular, broadly curved in lateral view, dorsal apodeme setaceous, shaft setaceous subbasally, lateral flange subbasally in ventral view, gonopore subbasal ( Figs. 214, 215); connective broadly Y-shaped, membranous on each side of middle, stem short ( Fig. 217); dorsal connective long, strap shape, base broad ( Fig. 216).

Material examined. Holotype male. PERU: Madre de Dios, Rio Tambopata Res. , 30 km. (air) SW. Pto. Maldonado, 290 m., 12º50’S. 69º–20’W., 28–31-X-1982, insect flight trap, R.C. Wilkerson ( NMNH) . Paratypes. 12 males, same data as holotype ( MLBM, FSU) .

Etymology. The species name is descriptive for the cluster of setae on the dorsal apodeme of the aedeagus.

Remarks. The setaceous dorsal apodeme of the aedeagus separates E. setacea , sp. nov. from all other known species in the genus.
