Anacroneuria citara
. 1. Head and pronotum, 2. Male sternum 9, 3. Aedeagus, ventral (right basal area and hook “restored” in drawings), 4. Aedeagus, lateral, 5. Aedeagus, dorsal.
Adult habitus.
General color yellow brown patterned with brown. Head mostly yellow but dusky over ocelli; lappets brown (
Fig. 1
). Pronotum with wide, pale mesal band and darker lateral bands, but pattern obscured by specimen condition. Wings pale amber, veins dark amber with darker R veins. Legs pale except narrow, apical band on femora dark.
Male.
Forewing length
13 mm
. Hammer thimble shaped, height greater than basal diameter (
Fig. 2
). Aedeagal base damaged, but intact apex, in lateral aspect, sharply upturned at a 90
◦
angle and bearing small basal and larger mesal ear shaped lobes (
Fig. 4
). Apex in ventral aspect with large ear lobes extending forward giving the apex a trilobed appearance; basal lobes give the shoulders a slight bulging projection (
Fig. 3
). Dorsal aspect with prominent transverse keel connecting to smaller, ventrally directed triangular keel on meson; basal ear lobes form a pair of small shelf-like projections (
Fig. 5
). Right hook and base of aedeagus are broken but are stored in the abdominal tip of the specimen.
Female.
Unknown.
Larva.
Unknown.
Etymology.
The species name, used as a noun in apposition, is based on the
type
locality in Farallones de Citará.
Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
A. albimacula
Klapálek
and
A. rugosa
Stark
in general aedeagal structure (
Stark et al. 1999
;
Stark 2001
). The former species has a distinctive clear “window” at the cord in the wing pigment pattern and the aedeagus lacks the smaller, basal ear lobes, whereas the latter species has the lateral ear lobes projecting beyond the mesoapical lobe (see Fig.
99 in
Stark 2001
).
Ecological notes.
The type locality in northwest
Colombia
is part of
Región Natural Andina
on the east slope of
Cordillera Occidental
.
