No full text17. Neoephydra inca sp. nov. Figs. 79–81, Map 17 Diagnosis. Specimens of N. inca are distinguished from similar congeners of the araucaria group by the following characters: appearance generally dark, particularly the legs; face moderately setose; gena high; and structures of male terminalia with distinctive conformation. Medium-sized to moderately large shore flies, body length 3.30– 4.60 mm; generally dull, grayish brown to gray with some subshiny areas dorsally. Head: Head ratio 0.72–0.74; frontal ratio 0.49–0.53; mesofrons with dark bluish green to greenish metallic luster, generally pilose laterally; ocellar triangle and parafrons nearly concolorous, microtomentose, brownish gray to charcoal gray; parafrons becoming more charcoal colored anteriorly; fronto-orbits with narrow strip through insertions of fronto-orbital setae subshiny, with some faint metallic luster, number of fronto-orbital setae usually 2. Antenna mostly concolorous, blackish brown. Facial ratio 0.97–1.03; mostly moderately setulose particularly along oral margin and toward posteroventral portions of face; dorsum of interfoveal hump with subshiny area more or less concolorous with mesofrons, otherwise face densely microtomentose, grayish brown to gray, paler along oral margin. Eye ratio 0.97–0.98; gena-to-eye ratio 0.51–0.53; gena high, coloration gray to whitish gray but with faint tinges of olivaceous green to brown posteriorly. Thorax: Mostly microtomentose; scutum mostly brown, darker and subshinier posteriorly; anterior margin microtomentose, especially postpronotum, gray to brownish gray; pleural areas paler, more gray colored especially ventrally; anepisternum with central area, dorsal and sometimes posterior margins brownish, otherwise mostly gray; other pleural areas including coxae whitish gray, although lighter, whitish ventrally. Wing length averaging 3.83–3.96 mm; mostly palely infuscate, faintly brown; costal vein ratio 0.26–0.29; M vein ratio 0.76–0.80. Legs dark generally; femora gray, microtomentose, only slightly darker than ventral pleural areas; tibiae and tarsi mostly concolorous, reddish yellow. Abdomen: Generally microtomentose and unicolorous, grayish olivaceous green to gray, becoming paler toward lateral margins, some specimens with faint bluish tinges of metallic luster; ventral surface of tergites frequently whitish gray. Tergite 5 of male somewhat trapezoidal, truncate apically. Male terminalia (Figs. 79–81): margins of epandrium in posterior view parallel, rounded dorsally; surstyli in posterior view roughly forming isosceles triangle with an apical process; surstylus in lateral view basically rectangular with an apical, digitiform, short process and a longer lateral prong, length of lateral prong about equal to width of surstylus at base, lateral prong with sub-basal tuft of setulae, anterior margin between apical process and lateral prong shallowly produced, shallowly triangular.

Neotropical: Brazil (Amazonas, Bahia, Pará), Guyana, Peru (Loreto, Madre de Dios). Etymology. The species epithet, rugosa, is of Latin derivation and means wrinkled, referring to the transversely wrinkled face of this species. Remarks. This is the most widespread species of Mimapsilopa and as would be expected for such a widespread species, there is some variation, which we interpret to be intraspecific. Although similar to other species with subapical and apical transverse bands, such as M. xingu, this species is easily distinguished from congeners, including M. xingu, by the wing pattern, facial rugosity, and yellowish, apical tarsomeres of the foreleg.Published as part of Mathis, Wayne N., Costa, Daniel N.

Diagnosis. Because this is the only known species of the pollinosa group, the diagnosis of the latter, as cited previously, will adequately serve to distinguish specimens of this species. Should additional species of this speciesgroup be discovered, character states of the male terminalia will undoubtedly distinguish them from the present species.

Head (Figs. 21–22): Frons width-to-length ratio 0.36–0.38; coloration of frons mostly pale brown with some faintly olivaceous to greenish tinges. Antenna unicolorous, black. Coloration of face unicolorous, whitish gray to silvery gray; antennal groove shallowly impressed. Eye height-to-width ratio 0.86–0.88; gena-to-eye ratio 0.11– 0.13; gena pale brown; well-developed genal seta 1. Thorax (Fig. 23): Mesonotum and scutellum concolorous, shiny, bronzish brown, except extreme anterior margin of mesonotum dull, grayish. Pleural areas gradually becoming paler brown ventrally, grayer, particularly forecoxa and katepisternum. Wing palely infuscate, pale brown, appearing dull; with 2 white spots on either side of crossvein dm-cu; costal vein ratio 0.14–0.16; M vein ratio 0.58–0.61.

Specimens of this species very closely resemble those of N. acutella, and we can distinguish them confidently only by comparing structures of the male terminalia. The latter differ as follows: 4 th abdominal sternum pentagonal, posterior margin shallowly pointed and with distinct clump of 15 or more larger setae near apex; ventral margin of epandrium lacking U-shaped medial emargination in posterior view; aedeagus with gradual taper throughout its length; gonite lacking pointed process along posterior margin. Moderately small to moderately large shore flies, body length 2.91–4.17 mm; appearing dull, microtomentose; coloration mostly pale brown to brown; wing hyaline. Head (Figs. 12–13): Frons width-to-length ratio 0.31–0.34; coloration of frons uniform, slightly charcoalish brown. Antenna mostly brownish black to black, basal flagellomere of some specimens with rufous coloration posteroventrally along medial surface. Coloration of face nearly concolorous with mesonotum, slightly paler brown than frons; antennal fovea more grayish and with some greenish tinges. Eye height-to-width ratio 0.92–0.96; gena-to-eye ratio 0.18–0.20. Gena unicolorous, whitish gray. Thorax (Fig. 14): Mesonotum dull, rather densely microtomentose, pale brown anteriorly, becoming darker and shinier posteriorly, with a pair of whitish brown vittae laterad of acrostichal setae, extended posteriorly no farther than transverse suture, distinctiveness of vittae variable. Scutellum subshiny to shiny, darker colored than mesonotum, more blackish. Pleural areas paler brown than mesonotum, becoming generally paler ventrally; postpronotum, proepisternum, part of anepisternum, forecoxa, and katepisternum distinctly paler colored, brownish gray to whitish gray, otherwise pleural areas mostly unicolorous, brown to pale brown. Wing mostly hyaline, shiny; slight infuscation anteriorly and around crossvein dm-cu; costal vein ratio 0.13–0.15; M vein ratio 0.65–0.68. Legs rufous to orange, frequently with some infuscation; tarsi becoming blackish, toward apical tarsomere. Halter yellowish to yellowish orange, unicolorous. Abdomen (Fig. 15): Coloration nearly unicolorous, brownish black with some bluish hues, subshiny to shiny. Male sternite 4 pentagonal, posterior margin shallowly pointed and with distinct clump of 15 or more larger setae near apex. Male terminalia (Figs. 16–18): Epandrium in posterior view (Fig. 16) as an inverted U, more thinly developed dorsally, in lateral view (Fig. 17) dorsal arch of inverted U more thinly developed, thereafter ventrally in lateral view gradually becoming wider, widest at ventral 1 / 3, ventral 1 / 3 tapered to a rather bluntly rounded point, posterior margin shallowly arched, anterior margin nearly straight; ventral epandrial margin, which is probably the fused surstylus, truncate with a very shallow, wide emargination ventrally; cerci free in cercal cavity, not fused with epandrium, semihemispherical, wider ventrally; aedeagus in lateral view (Fig. 18) with gradual taper throughout length, very shallowly curved; gonite lacking pointed process along posterior margin. Female ventral receptacle as in Figs. 19–20. Type material. The holotype male is labeled “ CHILE: Osorno Prov. [Termas de] Aguas Calientes (1 km SE) 530 m. elev. 7–8 Feb. 1978 WNMathis/ HOLOTYPE Notiocoenia paniculata Mathis [handwritten, red].” The holotype specimen is double mounted (minute nadel), is in good condition, and the holotype, allotype, and paratypes from the type locality are in the USNM (76068). The allotype female and 16 paratypes (4 ♂, 12 ♀; USNM) bear the same locality label data as the holotype. Other paratypes as follows: CHILE: Antofagasta: Rincón El Arbol (24 ° 11.3 'S, 69 ° 31.3 'W), Oct. 1969, L. E. Peña (1 ♀; MZUSP).
