Etymology.
The epithet is a noun in the nominative singular standing in apposition to the genus Aeneolamia , in honor of Dr. Daniel C. Peck for his contributions to the knowledge of Cercopidae and his friendship with UC-V.
Diagnosis.
Aeneolamia danpecki Castro, Armendáriz, Utrera, sp. nov. is assigned to the genus Aeneolamia by virtue of its tubular aedeagus with a single pair of slender spines attached anteriorly near the middle of the shaft. It can be distinguished from the other known Mexican species of Aeneolamia by the following combination of characters: tegmen dark brown to black, with two incomplete and barely visible transverse bands, one oblique band on the basal third, and another straight band on the distal third or only basal band visible or both absent (Figs 6 View Figure 6 , 7 View Figure 7 ); the apex of subgenital plates acute with an acuminate pointed lobe and straight lateral edges (Fig. 2I View Figure 2 ), the primary apical spine of parameres long and thin spine with a continuous curvature that is not angulated (Fig. 2F View Figure 2 ) and secondary subapical spine of parameres with two rounded acute lobes similar in size and shape (Fig. 2L View Figure 2 ); aedeagus spines slightly sinuous conspicuously curved upward and touching the superior margin of phallobase, tips bent to form an almost 90° angle (Figs 2O View Figure 2 , 8A, B View Figure 8 ).
Description.
Male measurements. Lateral view length (N = 15) 7.45 ± 0.51 mm; width of head in dorsal view (N = 15) 1.75 ± 0.12 mm.
Head. Dorsal view (Fig. 6A, D View Figure 6 ): black with brown setae; eyes black (discolored in figures); vertex black with median carina that originates in posterior margin of head and extends to tylus, a small depression between eye and median carina elongated and black, without setae, ocelli as close to each other as width of an ocellus; tylus quadrangular and black, with median carina. Ventral view (Fig. 6B, E View Figure 6 ): postclypeus black, inflated, with median carina black; anteclypeus black; basal segment of rostrum light brown in middle with black sides, distal segment black, reaching mesocoxae; antennae with scape and pedicel black to light brown, basal body of flagellum light brown, setae on pedicel scarce, flagellum brown, basal body of flagellum subcylindrical, smaller than pedicel and with arista. Lateral view (Fig. 6C, G View Figure 6 ): postclypeus black, convex, lateral grooves slightly marked.
Thorax. Dorsal view (Fig. 6A, F View Figure 6 ): pronotum black with brown setae, punctate, hexagonal shape without carina, anterior zone with irregular depressed areas, one on each side, anterior margin straight, lateral anterior margin straight, lateral posterior margin slightly grooved, posterior margin grooved. Scutellum black, apex light brown in some specimens. Ventral view (Fig. 6B, E View Figure 6 ): with hind wing transparent light brown, venation brown-reddish, setae on both faces light brown; prosternum black to light brown, mesosternum black to light brown, metasternum light brown to reddish; fore legs dark brown, and meddle legs dark brown, with trochanters dark brown to light brown; hind legs with coxae, trochanters, femurs light brown with reddish tints or reddish, tibiae and tarsi dark brown to black; tibiae with two lateral spines and an apical crown with two rows of spines, basal spine small, distal spine 2 × longer than basal one, basal spine same size as apical crown spines; basitarsus with two rows of spines covered with scarce setae. Lateral view (Fig. 6C, I View Figure 6 ): pronotum not curved; tegmen dark brown to black, with two incomplete and barely visible transverse bands, one oblique band on basal third and another straight band on distal third or only basal band visible or both absent, the junction between Cu and R brown.
Abdomen. Ventral view (Fig. 6B, H View Figure 6 ): black, except posterior and lateral edges of each sternite reddish, last sternite reddish and subgenital plates black or dark brown.
Genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view (Figs 2C View Figure 2 , 9A View Figure 9 ): lateral digital process, superior and inferior margins subequal in length, at the level of the inferior margin of the anal tube with the apex directed forward to the anal tube; subgenital plates in ventral view (Figs 2I View Figure 2 , 9B View Figure 9 ) with lateral edge straight, interior margins parallel, not touching distally, wide along almost entire length, but not truncated apex, with shape acute, and tip acuminate with small hook. Paramere in lateral view (Fig. 9A, C View Figure 9 ): resting on subgenital plates, basal two-thirds broad and last third curved and tapered at tip to form a long hook, with two dorsal processes, one rounded mesal process with setae, another small process where the primary apical spine like-hook and the lateral secondary subapical spine converge, the primary apical spine long and slender with a continuous non-angulated curvature, sharp point and sclerotized; the lateral secondary subapical spine with two rounded lobes similar in size and shape, superior lobe sclerotized; inferior margin straight, distally curved to form a long spine like-hook. Aedeagus in anterodorsal view (Fig. 2R View Figure 2 ): bottle-shape with a thin apex, two thin, sinuous spines touching phallobase, tips as small hooks and hugging phallobase. Aedeagus in lateral view (Figs 2C, O View Figure 2 , 8A, B View Figure 8 , 9A View Figure 9 ): tubular, wide at base, abruptly narrowed where two lateral spines join shaft, lateral slightly sinuous spines touching superior margin of phallobase, and tips bent to form an almost 90° angle, apex acute, gonopore apical.
Female measurements. Lateral view length (N = 15) 8.39 ± 0.07 mm; width of head in dorsal view (N = 15) 2.06 ± 0.01 mm. Same characteristics as the male, except larger and posterior and lateral edges of each sternite light brown or reddish (Fig. 7A-K View Figure 7 ).
Distribution.
Oaxaca state, Mexico (Fig. 10 View Figure 10 ).
Host.
Paspalum sp. and Pennisetum sp.
Remarks.
Aeneolamia danpecki has black or dark brown subgenital plates with an acute end. In the type of material, San Martín Lachila is a municipality and not part of the Municipality of Zimatlán. Aeneolamia danpecki was recognized as distinct for the first time as " Aeneolamia aff. albofasciata (Lallemand, 1939)" by López-Posadas (2021: 63).
