Evansolidia inca , sp. nov.

( Plate 4F, Figs. 242–249)

Length. Male 8.00 mm; female unknown.

External morphology. Medium size, robust species. General color black and orange; forewings with veins black, cells membranous, apex suffused with black, clavus with veins orange on middle of apex, suffused with black; mesonotum black and orange; pronotum largely orange, bordered by black markings, broad black reticulations medially; crown orange with black stripes on each side of middle; face yellow; clypeus with 2 broad, longitudinal dark brown stripes; clypellus with 2 longitudinal black stripes ( Plate 4F). Head narrower than pronotum, broadly rounded anteriorly; crown narrower than width of eyes, produced distally about ¼ of entire length, slightly elevated, lateral margins convergent basally; eyes large, semiglobular; pronotum moderately large, slightly longer than median length of crown; mesonotum large, about as long as median length of crown; forewings typical; clypeus long, narrow, lateral margins excised medially; clypellus short, less than1/3 as long as clypeus, slightly inflated basally, lateral margins sinuate, apex expanded.

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view obtusely triangulate, small lobe on caudodorsal margin ( Fig. 242); left subgenital plate long, narrow, glabrous ( Fig. 243), style robust, shorter than aedeagus, in lateral view outer lateral margin expanded medially, asymmetrically bifid apically ( Figs. 244, 245); aedeagus long, tubular in lateral view, constricted medially in dorsal view with several short to moderately long processes subbasally and subapically, shaft toothed on lateral margin ( Figs. 246, 247); connective narrowly Y-shaped, membranous on each side of middle; stem very short, broad ( Fig. 248); dorsal connective long, narrow, strap shape ( Fig. 249), attached to base of aedeagal socle ( Fig. 246).

Material examined. Holotype male. PERU: Madre de Dios. Rio Tambopata Res. , 30 km. (air) SW. Pto. Maldonado, 290 m., 12º50’S.– 69º20’W., 20–29-X-1982, insect flight trap, R. C. Wilkerson ( NMNH) . Paratypes. 10 males, same data as holotype except date of collections vary (20–29-X-1982, 11-XI-1982, 6-XI-1982, 13-XI-1982, 9-XI-1982) ( MLBM, 2 specimens; FSU, 6 specimens; NMNH, 2 specimens) ; 1 male, BOLIVIA: Dpto. La Paz Prov., Nov. Yungas, Rio Naramjacala near Jct. Rio Coroico , [15º819‘S.–67 596’W.], 580 m ., 22-IV-2007, S. M. Clark ( MLBM) .

Etymology. This species is named for the Inca tribe of Peru.

Remarks. From E. bispinosa , sp. nov. to which it is similar in male genitalia characters, E. inca , sp. nov. can be distinguished by the numerous processes on the aedeagal shaft and glabrous pregenital plate.
