Figs 5–6 View FIGURE 5 View FIGURE 6

Diagnosis. Forewing brownish with translucent regions and apical margin bold orange. Posterior margin of pygofer somewhat rounded and posterodorsal margin broadly rounded. Tenth segment strongly projected and pointed in lateral view. Aedeagus symmetrical with three long pairs of processes, one pair directed caudad and a single spatulate projection.

Description. Coloration. Pinned specimens are brownish with pale and yellowish rostrum; pronotum brownish; mesonotum brown with medial symmetrical pale band. Forewings brownish, translucent, veins pale. Female color lighter than male.

Structure. Head narrower than pronotum, 1.2× longer than midlength of pronotum. Vertex in dorsal view subpentagonal, widest near posterior margin; lateral margins strongly foliate and each with linear single row of sensorial pits, disc strongly depressed, lacking median carina; anterior margin narrow concave in dorsal view; head in lateral view rounded from posterior margin of vertex to frontoclypeal suture ( Fig. 5A–B View FIGURE 5 ). Frons with lateral margins well-developed and strongly sinuate from anterior view ( Fig. 5A, C View FIGURE 5 ). Clypeus elongate narrowing towards the base, triangular. Lateral margins carinate, distinct median carina present. Eye hemispherical, strongly emarginate on mesobasal margin above antenna. Lateral ocelli weakly visible below eye near midline. Antennal scape short and similar in distance to eyes, pedicel ovate bearing many irregularly arranged sensory plaques ( Fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ).

Thorax. Pronotum in dorsal view parabolic, 1.5× wider than long, lateral margins pointed with median quadrate elongation on midline, posterior margin slightly concave, median carina evident, lateral carinae appear concurrent with anterior lateral pronotal margin; paradiscal broadly foliate behind antennae forming large fossae, projected laterad 1.5× size of eyes, completely surrounding antennae. Mesonotum at midline 1.4× exceeding length of pronotum, tricarinate, and median carina absent posteriorly, rugose, lateral carinae medially curved reaching hind margin. Forewing elongated ending oval-shaped; apex of clavus near wing midlength.

Male terminalia. Anal tube in lateral view strongly pointed caudad, narrowed and acute apex, slightly longer than posterior margin of gonostyli, apex beyond paraproct 1.3× longer than epiproct and paraproct combined; paraproct longer than epiproct. Pygofer 2× taller than long, in lateral view moderately uniform with subparallel margins; dorsally gently rounded and well-sclerotized, widest basally, anterior margin slightly convex and posterior margin rounded ( Fig. 6 A View FIGURE 6 ); medioventral process subtriangular in ventral view, longer than long with acute pointed apex. Gonostyli in lateral view spatulate, apex 2× wider than base; first dorsal tooth stout and small while second pointed directed dorsad in lateral view ( Fig. 6C View FIGURE 6 ); basal margin in ventral view strongly lobulate medially ending square-shaped with well sclerotized tooth ( Fig. 6B View FIGURE 6 ). Aedeagus size prominent respecting male capsule, symmetrical, shaft straight gently curved; three long pairs of processes directed cephalad, one pair directed caudad and a single long spatulate projection ( Figs 5D–F View FIGURE 5 , 6D–F View FIGURE 6 ).

Distribution. Mexican state of Tabasco (Comalcalco), Fig. 7.
