( Figs 12A–C)
Type material. Holotype male, BRAZIL: São Paulo State, Campos de Jordão , 10.ix.2001, M. T. Suriano ( MZUSP).
Diagnostic characters. The species can be separated from other species with more than 100 setae in each of cells m 1+2 and r 4+5, foretibial scale without spur and base of superior volsella with microtrichia, by having only about 4 setae in cell m basal of RM and the apical seta of the inferior volsella prominent, reaching apex of gonostylus.
Etymology. From Latin, campus, field, plain, and – ense, a suffix denoting locality, referring to Campos de Jordão, the plain of Jordão.

Superior volsella ( Fig.12B, C) 74 µm long; base with 2–3 inner setae and microtrichia, 1 lateral seta on projection. Inferior volsella 115 µm long, nearly parallel-sided, with 1 prominent apical seta. Gonostylus 124 µm long. HR 1.17.
