Abana haupti Melichar, 1926: 324 View in CoL [n. sp.]. Young & Lauterer (1966): 264 [lectotype designated]; Young (1968): 150 [listed, out of subgenus]; McKamey (2007): 263 [catalogued].

Abana (Mesobana) haupti, Melichar (1926): 322 View in CoL [key]; Metcalf 1965: 645 [catalogued].

Diagnosis. Body coloration ( Fig. 12A, B View FIGURE 12 ) mostly ivory and castaneous. Head ( Fig. 12A, B View FIGURE 12 ) and pronotum ( Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ) completely castaneous, pronotum slightly darker near posterior margin; male forewing ( Fig. 12A, B View FIGURE 12 ) castaneous, with two ivory transcommissural transverse stripes: one narrower at basal half and another preapical, aligned to clavus apex. Crown with anterior margin ( Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ) broadly rounded; anterior portion ( Fig. 12B View FIGURE 12 ), in lateral view, straight, not inflated; disk with a distinct depression; M-shaped elevation bordering posterior margin present and conspicuous. Connective ( Fig. 12E View FIGURE 12 ) with arms slightly divergent; base of arms with a V-shaped dorsal rim. Style ( Fig. 12E View FIGURE 12 ) with apodeme wide and long, 0.9 times as long as apophysis lenght; inner lobe rounded; apical portion almost as long as wide; not extending to connective apex. Aedeagal shaft ( Fig. 12F–H View FIGURE 12 ) with anterodorsal projections slender and long. Dorsal connective ( Fig. 12F–H View FIGURE 12 ) sclerotized; submedian acute process conspicuous.

Redescription. Total length: male (n = 1) 15.2 mm.

External structure. Crown anterior margin ( Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ) broadly rounded. Ocelli located on imaginary line between anterior eye angles; each slightly closer to adjacent anterior eye angle than to midline of crown. Pronotum ( Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ) surface without pubescence. Forewing ( Fig. 12A, B View FIGURE 12 ) with punctures distributed throughout the membrane; base of the third and fourth apical cells at the same level. Other characters as in the description of A. dives .

Coloration. Body coloration ( Fig. 12A, B View FIGURE 12 ) mostly castaneous, including entire head and legs. Thorax ( Fig. 12A, B View FIGURE 12 ) almost completely castaneous, except for posterior portion of the pronotum and the entire mesonotum, which are slightly darker brown, the latter with two black lateral maculae on anterior portion, before scutellar suture, not reaching lateral margin. Forewing ( Fig. 12A, B View FIGURE 12 ) also castaneous, slightly darker brown basally and smoky light brown apically, and with two ivory transcommissural transverse stripes: one at basal half, not reaching costal margin, broad at corium but narrowing at clavus and another preapical, restricted to corium, broader, reaching costal margin, and aligned to clavus apex.

Male terminalia. Pygofer ( Fig. 12C View FIGURE 12 ) ventral margin, in lateral view, regularly convex until apex. Subgenital plates ( Fig. 12C View FIGURE 12 ), in lateral view, almost reaching pygofer apex. Connective ( Fig. 12E View FIGURE 12 ) with arms slightly divergent; base of arms with a V-shaped dorsal rim. Style ( Fig. 12E View FIGURE 12 ) with apodeme wide and long, 0.9 times as long as apophysis length; inner lobe rounded; angle formed between preapical lobe and apical portion acute; apical portion almost as long as wide; not extending to connective apex. Aedeagal shaft ( Fig. 12F View FIGURE 12 ), in lateral view, with preapical dorsal spiniform process extending to dorsal margin of lateral projections; anterodorsal projections ( Fig. 12F–H View FIGURE 12 ) slender and long. Dorsal connective ( Fig. 12F–H View FIGURE 12 ) sclerotized; submedian acute process conspicuous. Other characters as in generic description.

Female. Unknown.

Distribution. Peru (Junín Region) ( Fig. 30 View FIGURE 30 ).

Material examined. Type material: Lectotype, ♂: PERU: Junín: “Chanchamayo\ Peru”, “ LECTOTYPE \ Abana \ haupti \ Melichar\ Young & Lauterer”, “Collectio\ Dr. L. Melichar \ Moravské museum Brno”, “Invent. c\ 3024/Ent\ Mor. Museum, Brno”, “Photographed by NMGW \ Entom\ image no: E003311”, “Photographed by NMGW \ Entom\ image no: E003312” ( MMBC).

Remarks. To date, this species is known only from the male lectotype. Its external morphology is similar to that of A. confusa sp. nov. and to some females of A. colombiana sp. nov. and A. horvathi s.s., mostly for the presence of two transverse light stripes on forewings ( Figs. 12A, B View FIGURE 12 , 26A, B View FIGURE 26 , 29G–K View FIGURE 29 ). However, A. haupti can be clearly distinguished by its broadly rounded anterior margin of crown ( Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ), and by its head and thorax completely castaneous ( Fig. 12A, B View FIGURE 12 ). No COI sequence information was obtained for this species because the only specimen available is not only too old but is the lectotype.
