General color dark brown with 2 large yellow markings on clavus and a few very small spots on veins of forewings; pronotum black; crown light brown; eyes grey; face yellow (Plate 2D). Head much narrower than crown, anterior margin acutely angulate; crown narrow, about 1/3 as wide as width of eyes, produced distally about 1/3 entire length of crown, lateral margins slightly convergent basally, slightly carinate, disk depressed medially; eyes large, elongate-ovoid; pronotum slightly longer than median length of crown, surface bullated; mesonotum about half as long as pronotum; forewings typical; clypeus elongate, much broader basally and anteriorly, lateral margins broadly convex; clypellus short, about ¼ as long as clypeus, very broad and inflated basally, tapered distally, truncate apically. Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view triangulate with 2 prominent caudal processes, caudodorsal process long, robust, broadly curved, abruptly attenuated distally; caudoventral process very long, broad, slightly curved, corrugated along middle (Fig. 91); right subgenital plate long, tapered in distal 1/3, sparsely setose in distal 1/4 (Fig. 92); style short, distal 2/3 very narrow (Figs. 93, 94); aedeagus long, tubular, basal ¼ slightly recurved, apex recurved, small lateral flange distally, gonopore subapical (Figs. 95, 96, 97); connective small, Y-shaped, short stem (Fig. 98); dorsal connective long, narrow, shallow bifurcation basally (95), attached to aedeagal shaft subbasally (Fig. 99).

The name is descriptive for the short, very slender style. Remarks. From T. spinosus Nielson to which it is most similar, T. angustus, sp. nov. can be distinguished by the short, slender style, configuration of the aedeagus with its recurved base, flanged apex and lack of apical spine.Published as part of Nielson, M.

No full textTrinoridia calcaris Nielson Figs. 43 J–M. Trinoridia calcaris Nielson 2015: 73−74, Pl 7 G, Figs. 431−436. Remarks. No specimens of this species were studied. Nielson (2015) adequately described and illustrated the species based on the holotype male collected near Kodaikanal.

This species is nearest to G. tubercula, sp. nov. in male genitalia characters and can be distinguished by the uniformly narrow aedeagal shaft, smaller and curved aedeagal spine and the longer membranous lobe on the caudal margin of the pygofer.Published as part of Nielson, M.

Material examined. Holotype male. BRAZIL: Honaonia (sic) [Rondonia], 62 km., SE Ariquemes, 22–31 Oct. 1997, W. J. Hansen (NMNH). Etymology. The name is descriptive for the similar configuration of the apex of segment X ventral process and caudodorsal pygofer process. Remarks. This species is nearest to D. iacula (Nielson, 1979 e: 215) known only from Peru, in configuration of the pygofer and stylar processes. The long ventral process of segment X and triangulate apex of the caudodorsal pygofer process will readily distinguish accurationis from iacula.Published as part of Nielson, M.

Etymology. The name is descriptive for the numerous setae on the aedeagal shaft. Remarks. This species is closest to L. elegans (Spångberg) (Figs. 531, 532, Nielson,1979) in male genitalia features and can be distinguished by the semibulbous, caudoventral pygofer process (Fig. 79) and by the longer setae of the aedeagus that reach the gonopore (Figs. 83, 84). The yellow transverse bands on the crown, pronotum and mesonotum in L. multisetacea are not present in L. elegans.Published as part of Nielson, M.
