Length. Body: 13.1 mm; wings: 10.7 mm.
Holotype condition. Left notopleural macrosetae missing; terminalia dissected.
Female ( Figs 32F View FIGURE 32 , 34 View FIGURE 34 ). Similar to male, except postpedicel sensorial area smaller ( Fig. 32F View FIGURE 32 ) and terminalia dark brown, yellowish setose; T 9+ T 10+cercus truncate posteriorly, indented medially with a recess mid-laterally, sparsely setose dorsally and posteriorly ( Fig. 34A View FIGURE 34 ); hypoproct conic ( Fig. 34B View FIGURE 34 ); S8 concave mid-anteriorly, mid-posterior margin truncate, sparsely setose laterally ( Fig. 34C View FIGURE 34 ); spermathecae with 8–9 turns; spermathecae and sperm pump very sclerotized; sperm pump less differentiated; genital fork with thick edges; accessory gland rounded ( Fig. 34D View FIGURE 34 ).
Variation. Fore and mid tibiae reddish yellow on its entire extension in some specimens.
Etymology. From Latin: saltuarius = pertaining to forests, forester, ranger. It refers to the occurrence of this species in the Amazonian rainforest, thus pertaining to the forest.
Distribution. Brazil (Amazonas) ( Fig. 41 View FIGURE 41 ).
Phenology. The largest number of collecting events for this species occurred between July and January with a pic in September (Tab. 1), which coincides with the dry season, July to November, in the Amazonian rain forest.
Taxonomic discussion. Aphestia saltuaria sp. nov. can be separated from other Aphestia species by the fore and mid femora completely black ( Fig. 32B View FIGURE 32 ); cercus trapezoidal ( Figs 33E View FIGURE 33 , 34A View FIGURE 34 ); and posterior margin of gonocoxite truncate ( Fig. 33G–H View FIGURE 33 ).
