Aphonomorphus (Euaphonus) andreae Cadena-Casteñada, Noriega , n. sp.
( Figs. 14–22 View FIGURES 14 – 22 )
Diagnosis. Coloration light reddish brown with spots and brown strips in the head, legs, and abdominal region. Subgenital plate with the apex V-shaped. Tympanum slit like. Additional sclerotized process of epiphallic apical part asymmetric, thin, and curved in the form of a hook, ec left with intero-apical denticulations. Dorsal apical spines prominent and curved backwards.
Holotype. ♂. Colombia, Amazonas, PNN Amacayacu, ~ 70 m. S. Otavo & J. Noriega leg. (MUD). Paratype. ♀. Same data as holotype.
Description. Male (holotype). Coloration light reddish brown with spots and brown stripes that obscure as is indicated next: epicranium predominantly brown-grey with light reddish brown spots, legs and pronotum light reddish brown with a lot of small brown spots in all the surface, nearly transparent brown tegmina, lateral flexible region of the tegmina with dark spots all over the vein R and R+MA1. Tomentose body. Subrounded head with a small size in comparison with the rest of the body; central ocellus with an ovoid form like the lateral ocelli but these ones are two times more bigger and elongated, interocellar space moderate reduced (fig. 14). Pronotal disc with short and rounded hind median projection (figs. 15–16), metanotal gland as in Fig. 17 View FIGURES 14 – 22 . Epiproctus simple, narrowing to a narrow and rounded apex, subgenital plate elongated, three times as long as the tenth abdominal tergite, apex of the subgenital plate bilobed, distal margin with a V-shaped. Phallic complex: Ectophallus with dorsal-apical spines (da) slightly elongated and curved backwards, sharpened apex and cover by a ovoid transparent membrane; with the form of extended horns, thinning itself moderately towards the apex and curved backwards, spines (ad) with a hook form, thickness, projected towards the front and curved downwards, ad left with five small denticulus intero-apical; ad right without deticulations. First ectoparameres (ec) with a hook form, 1.5 times longer then ad, thin and curved towards the interior or upwards following the extraction of the genitalia, second ectoparameres (se) inconspicuous, apodemes of the endoparameres (ae) shorts, as long as 0.4 times the length of the ramus (figs. 18–20).
Female. Similar to the male in form and size. Ovipositor 1.5 times longer than the femur posterior, apex as in figs. 21–22, subgenital plate more wide than long and with the apex rounded.
Measurements (mm) ♂/♀. Total length: 41/44; Pronotum: 3; Tegmina: 26/26.5; Hind femur: 16/17; Hind tibia: 18/19; Ovipositor: 24.
Etymology. Dedicated to Andrea Garay Ortíz, great friend of the first author, who contributed greatly to the production of the photographic records for this paper.
