Male. Similar to  A. amorimi  sp. nov.in most characters. Body length approximately 2.03 mm( Fig. 1B). Brownish species in general colour. Head.( Fig. 1B). Ommatidia equal in size, in lateral view at level of base of scape, a row of 6 ommatidia disposed from outer to inner ocular margin; scape square, a row of setae disposed along distal margin; pedicel subcylindrical, 8 flagellomeres ( Fig. 3B) covered with microtrichia and sensilla; flagellomeres I–VII twice as wide as long, each bearing a whorl of setae, last flagellomere rounded, as long as 2 preceding ones, bearing 3 whorls of setae; flagellum length, 0.28 mm. Palpi ( Fig. 4B) brown, setose, subcylindrical, apically rounded, with at least 4–5 subapical sensory pits, length 0.09 mm, width 0.045 mm.  Thorax.( Fig. 1B). A well-marked row of 10–11 supraalar setae; anterior spiracular sclerite setose (13–15 setae), with a well-marked antero-dorsal pointed projection, spiracle large, not longer than high ( Fig. 6B); pleural setae: 9 anepisternal, in upper anterior corner of sclerite, 9–12 anepimeral, 6 subalar, 3–6 katepisternal, 3–4 posterior spiracular, no meral setae.   Wing.( Fig. 7B) length, 1.32–1.37 mm, width, 0.60–0.62 mm. R4+5 reaching costa beyond middle of wing, and slightly beyond level of fork of M; M fork nearly twice as long as stem, gradually widening towards wing margin; second costal section shorter than first; a false vein present between M2 and CuA1; CuA2 smoothly angled near middle, reaching wing margin obliquely. Wing length/section costal 1: 2.9; WL/C2: 5.3; WL/C3: 1.5; WL/C1+C2: 1.8; C extending 0.52 of wing length.  Abdomen.Tergite 7 wider than long, pilose, bearing a pair of posterolateral, elongated projections ( Figs 9B, 10B); posterior margin V-shaped; length, 0.23 mm, width, 0.32 mm. Sternite 7 wider than long, slightly emarginate anteriorly, expanded laterally forming a cone-shaped lateral angle, a deep complex U-shaped posterior emargination ( Figs 9B, 10B), presence of a small ornamented median zone, close to the posterior margin, with a group of small rough granulations; length, 0.20 mm, width, 0.41 mm. Genital capsule ( Figs 11B, 13) short, epandrium with anterior margin deeply V-shaped, medially heavily sclerotized, without plough-like projection, posterior margin with a pair of small, setose, posterolateral lobes; gonocoxites joined to epandrium, with elongated, slender lateral processes; aedeagus leaf-like, bearing subapical tufts of setae, joined laterally to membranous process; parameres elongated, subcylindrical, with rounded, short subapical extension.   FIGURE 3.Flagellum, lateral view, male: A.  Aztecatopse amorimi  sp. nov., B.  A. foliosa  sp. nov., C.  A. neotropica  sp. nov., D.  A. spinosa  sp. nov.(Scale bar=0.04 mm.
