Type material.

Holotype: male, Brazil: Pará, Oriximiná, Rio Trombetas, Alcoa min., 16-X-1991, J. A. Rafael leg., INPA.

Diagnosis.

Embolyntha oriximina sp. nov. can be distinguished from the other species of the genus by the shape of LC1dp semispherical instead of conical ( E. brasiliensis ) or domed ( E. guyana ), absence of medial bladder on hind basitarsus, present in the other species.

Description.

Male (holotype). General coloration brownish white with head, first antennomer, and fore tarsi brown, prothorax light brown and cerci whitish. Total length 4.00. Head (Fig. 19 View Figures 19–24 ) width/length = 0.83; OR = 0.27; anterior margin of the clypeus straight; epistomal sulcus discontinuous; ecdysial suture as a less pigmented line quite diffuse; postocular suture as two small notches (Fig. 19 View Figures 19–24 ); Md with 3-2 incisor teeth and 1-1 molar teeth; Mm narrow but conspicuous; Sm rectangular with anterior margin diffuse, base narrow, and surface flat (Fig. 20 View Figures 19–24 ). Forewing (Fig. 21 View Figures 19–24 ) length 3.82, hindwing length 3.35; wing base union type A; wing venation: Sc, R1, Rs, Ma, Ma1, Cu, and A conspicuous; Ma2 conspicuous only on the basal 1/3, Mp conspicuous only on the basal half and Cua diffuse; Ma1, Mp, and Cua clearly not reaching wing edge (Fig. 21 View Figures 19–24 ); cross-veins in forewing: R1-Rs: 3, Rs-Ma1: 1-2; Ma-Mp: 2; Ma2-Mp: 0-1. Basitarsus of hind leg broad (Fig. 22 View Figures 19–24 ): length 0.23, width/length = 0.39; one row of setae on retrolateral face, three rows of setae on anterolateral face, two rows of setae on ventrobasal face; medial bladder absent (Fig. 22 View Figures 19–24 ). Terminalia (Figs 23 View Figures 19–24 , 24 View Figures 19–24 ), anterior margin of 10L concave, inner basal angle of 10L excavate; 10Lp1 not bifid, acute, curved with longitudinal keels (Fig. 23 View Figures 19–24 ); 10Rp1 bifid, on dorsal view as a broad bar and on ventral view the unsclerotized dome is observed; basal membranous area on 10R quite small, 10Rp2 broad with longitudinal keels. Ep diffuse, not well sclerotized, without microtrichia. Hp with longitudinal keels (Fig. 24 View Figures 19–24 ), Lpp as Fig. 24 View Figures 19–24 . LC2 longer than LC1, longitudinal ratio of LC1/LC2 = 0.80, LC1dp as Fig. 21 View Figures 19–24 ; LC1dp/LC1width = 2.14, LC1dp 2 × longer than the width of LC1. Female. Unknown.

Etymology.

The specific name is an apposition and refers to the type locality Oriximiná.
