Third label: “ PARATYPE / MZB 2017-1499 ” (MCNB). DIAGNOSIS. — Lecteria mitarakanea n. sp. can be distinguished from all other Neotropical Lecteria by the outer gonostylus extending into a single decurved process at apex, with the outer apical angle featuring a rounded pale crest (Figs 1K; 4), in combination with the morphology of the aedeagal complex: aedeagus short, not surpassing the interbase and parameres almost parallel. In ad- dition, also distinct are the yellowish brown scape and pedicel, the first flagellomere with yellowish brown basal half (the apical half brown); and the tarsi (Fig. 2E) with tarsomere I almost completely brown to pale brown, with apical ¼ white, tarsomeres II to IV white, with pale brown apex (apical third in tarsomere IV) and tarsi V entirely pale brown. ETYMOLOGY. — The name of this species is a latinized adjective which refers to the place where the species has been found, the Mitaraka massif in French Guiana. DESCRIPTION Male (holotype) Body length. 13.2 mm (without antennae); wing length 12.3 mm; antennal length 2.5 mm; length of terminalia 1.0 mm. Head. Dark brown dorsally, slightly lighter ventrally.

Flagellum with 14 flagellomeres, brown with basal half of first flagellomere yellowish brown. Flagellomeres 1 to 5 oval, decreasing in length towards apex, longer and slightly wider than the remaining flagellomeres. Flagellomeres 1-5 covered with short and thin microsetae and with just one verticil, except the first segment with two (Fig. 2D), the outermost verticil being the longest (latter character consistent in all examined specimens).

Less obvious, poorly defined brown areas at vein r-m, transverse veins of cell dm, at bifurcation of M 1 and M 2, in basal transverse section of CuA 1 and a small dot midway of (and just below) A 1. Legs. Coxae white, with dorsal apex yellowish to yellowish brown. Trochanters pale brown. All legs (Fig. 2E) with the same color pattern. Femora yellowish brown in basal half or slightly more, slightly yellowish towards middle, followed by a dark brown band, another yellow band (subequal in length to anterior brown band) and finally another dark brown band at apex. Scarce and short setae in basal half of femur, until the beginning of the first brown band. Tibiae without tibial spurs, strongly annulated with brown to dark brown and white bands (see Fig. 2E). All tarsi (Fig. 2E) with the same color pattern. Tarsomere I almost completely brown to pale brown, with apical ¼ white.

In all legs, abundant and long setae with the same color as the respective band. Tarsal claws dark brown to black. Abdomen. All tergites yellowish brown to pale brown, sternites white.Tergites with a narrow dark brown stripe laterally, giving the abdomen the appearance of a continuous dark brown line, along its entire length, separating the yellowish brown dorsal part from the ventral white one. All tergites with a pale brown stripe on anterior and posterior margins, the anterior stripe wider and darker, discretely highlighting the yellowish brown background above. This color pattern paler towards the apical sternites. Terminalia. Tergite 9 pale brown, approximately twice as wide as long (Fig. 4C), gonocoxite cone-shaped, approximately 1.5 × as long as wide (Fig. 1K). Inner gonostylus slightly longer than outer gonostylus. Outer gonostylus extending at apex into a single curved process, forming an apical hook, its outer apical angle with a short and rounded pale crest before apex. Aedeagal complex (Fig. 4D): aedeagus short, not surpassing the interbase; parameres almost parallel; interbase concave in his posterior border. Female Body length. 18.8 mm (without antennae); wing length 13.0 mm; antennal length 2.5 mm; length of ovipositor 3.1 mm. Thorax. As male except for the following features: thorax slightly darker than male, brown. Wing. Basal transverse section of CuA 1 (Fig. 2B) located shortly before dm cell (in both female paratypes). Abdomen. In general darker than the male, dorsally with a slightly darker, longitudinal, brown central stripe that stands out against the lighter brown background of the tergites. Sternites yellowish to pale brown. REMARKS According to the original description of Alexander (1969) the scape and pedicel of L. cetrata, the morphologically closest species to L. mitarakanea n. sp., are light brown with first flagellomere yellowish (in L. mitarakanea n. sp. scape and pedicel are yellowish brown, with basal half of first flagellomere yellowish brown and the distal half brown). Both species also show differences in the general color pattern of the thorax and abdomen. Lecteria mitarakanea n. sp. has an overall brown to yellowish brown thorax, without any stripe pattern dorsally or any conspicuous black area at the lateral end of the transverse suture as in L. cetrata. Finally, L. mitarakanea n. sp. has yellowish brown to pale brown tergites, with a pale brown stripe at anterior and posterior margin (with the anterior stripe wider and darker) while L. cetrata shows light brown tergites with posterior margin broadly yellowish.Published as part of Mederos, Jorge & Pollet, Marc, 2019, Three new species of Lecteria Osten Sacken, 1888 (Diptera: Tipulidae) from a scientific survey in Mitaraka (French Guiana), pp. 497-512 in Zoosystema 41 (25) on pages 499-504, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2019v41a25, http://zenodo.org/record/372600

Second label “ Lecteria (Lecteria) teko Mederos & Pollet det. 2017 HOLOTYPE ”. DIAGNOSIS. — Due to the loss of all legs in the holotype, it is impossible to compare L. teko n. sp. with the other species of the subgenus, by the absence of characters so important as the color pattern in the tarsi, but also in the femora and tibiae. However, the distinctness of the male genitalia of L. teko n. sp. proved sufficient to separate this species, especially by the presence of a wide and trilobed interbase with acute apices, a unique character in the subgenus (Fig. 7C), in combination with an outer gonostylus divided in two small spike-shaped processes at apex. In addition, L. teko n. sp. has a brown to dark brown thorax as general appearance, and pale brown to yellowish brown pleura with a brown longitudinal stripe from the cervical sclerites through the upper margin of the fore leg, anepisternum, anepimeron and ending in the anatergite. ETYMOLOGY. — The name of this species, a noun in apposition, refers to the Tekos people, one of the two Amerindian peoples that inhabit the territory where the species was found i.e., Maripasoula, French Guiana. DESCRIPTION Male (holotype) Body length. 13.3 mm (without antennae); wing length 10.5 mm; antennal length 2.1 mm; length of terminalia‰. 8 mm. Head. Dark brown dorsally (Fig. 5B), and brown ventrally. Maxillary palpus brown to pale brown, four palpomeres, ovoid, the second and third subequal in length, the fourth palpomere the smallest. Antenna (Fig. 5C) mainly brown to pale brown, 16-segmented. Scape and pedicel pale brown. Flagellum with 14 flagellomeres, with segment 1 pale brown to yellowish brown, and the remaining brown, progressively paler towards the apex. Flagellomeres 1 to 5 oval, decreasing in length and width towards apex, longer and slightly wider than flagellomeres 6-14, former covered with short and thin microsetae and with one single verticil (flagellomeres 4-5 of right antenna with two verticils); flagellomeres 6-13 with five verticils, and the last flagellomere with nine verticils. Thorax. Brown to dark brown, with some pale brown areas. Pronotum brown. Mesoscutum uniformly brown to pale brown, with center almost yellowish brown, from prescutum to transverse suture, bordered with narrow brown to pale brown stripe (Fig. 6). Scutellum dark brown, with almost black posterior and lateral margins. Mediotergite with dark brown area at its center, brown stripe-like areas bordering this central area, and with almost black lateral margins. Cervical sclerite dark brown. Anepisternum brown. Anepimeron brown at upper half (Fig. 6A), with pale brown posterior margin and pale brown at lower half. Membrane area adjacent to anterior spiracle pale, almost white, contrasting with brown longitudinal stripe formed by color pattern on anepisternum and anepimeron. Laterotergite brown on dorsal 2/3, pale brown on ventral third (katatergite). Katepisternum with about dorsal half pale brown, brown on less than ventral half. Meron, metakatepisternum and metanepisternum brown to pale brown. Dark brown area at posterior margin of posterior spiracle, just below halter basis. Halter with stem and knob pale brown, white at its basis. Wing. Almost with the same pattern as in L. mitarakanea n. sp. Background with a very pale brown tinge (Fig. 5A). Relatively well defined small brown spots at basis of RS and R 2+3+4, at R 1+2 (stigma area) and at the end of R 3. Less obvious, poorly defined brown areas at basis of vein R 5, vein r-m, transverse veins of cell dm, at bifurcation of M 1 and M 2, in basal transverse section of CuA 1, and a small spot midway of A 1. Legs. Nearly entirely lacking. Coxae almost white, pale brown in the dorsal third, fore coxa brown to dark brown on its dorsal margin (Fig. 6A). Trochanters brown. Abdomen. All tergites pale brown, reminiscent (very subtle) of a longitudinal central, very broad brown stripe. Lateral margins of tergites 1-8 dark brown, both anterior and posterior margins whitish; 9th tergite completely brown. Sternites mainly white, with 8th and 9th sternites pale brown. Terminalia. Tergite 9 brown, approximately twice as wide as long (Fig. 7). Gonocoxite cone-shaped (Fig. 1L), almost cylindrical, about twice as long as wide. Gonostylus terminal, outer gonostylus slightly longer than inner gonostylus. Outer gonostylus at apex divided in two small spike-shaped processes. Aedeagal complex (Fig. 7C): interbase wide, trilobed with acute apices. Aedeagus short and straigh, not surpassing the interbase. Female Unknown. REMARKS The color pattern shown in the pleura of L. armillaris and L. mattogrossae, in combination with the coloration in the mesonotum, scutellum and mediotergite, differs markedly from the pattern in L. teko n. sp. According to Alexander (1969), the thorax in L. armillaris has a reddish brown mesonotum and somewhat pruinose pleura, with a row of brown spots; the thorax in L. mattogrossae shows a light grayish brown scutum, a dull yellow scutellum and a mediotergite with a narrow indistinct brown median line and yellowish pleura, with a gray pruinosity and a dark brown stripe extending from behind the head to the wing base, involving the base of the fore coxa.Published as part of Mederos, Jorge & Pollet, Marc, 2019, Three new species of Lecteria Osten Sacken, 1888 (Diptera: Tipulidae) from a scientific survey in Mitaraka (French Guiana), pp. 497-512 in Zoosystema 41 (25) on pages 504-507, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2019v41a25, http://zenodo.org/record/372600

First label: “ GUYANE, Maripasoula, MIT-C-RBF2, N 2°14’03.4” / W 54°26’53.0”, 299m, on vegetation along muddy trail and in swamp, 11.iii.2015, sweep net, sample cd: MITARAKA/106, M. Pollet leg.” Deposited at USNM. ETYMOLOGY. — This species is named in honor of, and out of respect to, Julien Touroult, the leader of the entomological team at Mitaraka who managed to have a wide array of traps operational during the survey and as such contributed considerably to the discovery of some of the new Enlinia species. DIAGNOSIS. — This species belongs to the E. simplex species group (Robinson 1975) that presently contains 11 relatively inornate species with unarmed abdominal sternites, relatively simple hypopygial appendages, and wing vein R 2+3 bulging slightly inward from costa on apical half. Species in this group are also relatively small in comparison to other Enlinia species (1 mm or less) and have characteristically modified fore tarsi with compressed and broadened tarsomeres 1-2 and tarsomere 3 bearing a small but often stouter seta (as in Fig. 10B). The shape of the subquadrate cerci and hypopygial appendages in E. touroulti n. sp. are distinctive. Details in the form of the male foretarsus, the arrangement of slender ventral setae on femora, and the form of the middle tibia also differ from the other known species in the E. simplex group. DESCRIPTION Male Body size. Length. 0.8 mm, wing length 0.8 mm by 0.3 mm (width). Head. Face and frons dark metallic green. Face narrowed below, eyes essentially contiguous on lower half; anterior eye facets distinctly enlarged. Palpus brown; proboscis brown. Antenna (Fig. 10A) dark brown; first flagellomere short and blunt, about twice as wide as long, nearly square in lateral view and round in anterior view; arista-like stylus apical, about as long as height of eye. Thorax. Scutum dark brown with slight metallic green reflections and very sparse pollen; setae brown with weak pale reflections; 6 pairs of small acrostichal setae; 6-7 pairs of dorsocentral setae; one pair of relatively widely spaced scutellar setae and one pair of very small lateral hairs. Legs. Yellow-brown with trochanters and basal tarsomeres paler. Fore coxa with about 5 short anterior hairs on apical half. Fore femur with a very slender, erect ventral seta near base (length less than width of femur) and 3-4 smaller anteroventral setae on apical half. Mid femur with 3 very slender erect ventral setae on basal 1/3 (length less than width of femur) and row of 3-4 very small erect anteroventral setae on apical half. Mid tibia (Fig. 10C) flattened dorsoventrally and slightly expanded, with row of short, somewhat stout anteroventral setae that are longest distally. Hind tibia with 1-2 dorsal setae near base. Fore tarsus (Fig. 10B) with tarsomere 1 slightly expanded and flattened dorsoventrally, about twice as long as wide; tarsomere 2 flattened dorsoventrally and slightly concave ventrally, about as long as wide, with 2-3 longer hairs near apex; tarsomere 3 small, nearly round, slightly concave ventrally, inserted to one side in small notch of tarsomere 2, with distinct short black marginal seta just beyond 1/2. Basal 2-3 tarsomeres of mid and hind tarsus distinctly light yellow to nearly white. Ratios of tibia:tarsomeres for fore leg: 9-3-2- 2-1-3; for mid leg: 14-4-2-2-1-3; for hind leg: 15-4-3-2-2-3. Wing (Fig. 10E). Hyaline, elongate-oval, hind margin evenly rounded and short-fringed; vein R 2+3 slightly and evenly arched and curving slightly but distinctly forward at apex; vein R 4+5 and M 1 nearly straight, diverging from near base, with M 1 very slightly arching backwards beyond crossvein dm-cu; crossvein dm-cu perpendicular to vein M 1, less than half the length of apical part of vein CuA 1; vein A 1 represented as a short brown streak close to anal margin. Halter brown. Abdomen (Fig. 10D). dark brown with sparse, very short, stiff, black setae. Sternites plain, without armatures; sternite 5 with 2 distinct setae near apex. Hypopygium capping tip of preabdomen, brown; cerci subquadrate, light brown with margin thinly darkened, with a few slender pale hairs; inner appendages larger than cerci, somewhat triangular, thin and translucent with a minute dorsal hair just beyond 1/2.

Remainder of fore and mid legs entirely yellow; hind femur pale-yellow basally, dark brown in distal 1/2; hind tibia light brown basally, dark brown in distal 1/2; hind tarsus entirely brown.Tibiae irregularly setose. Dorsal setae of hind tibia shorter than tibial width. Claws of fore and mid legs curved, apically blunt, with a small incision at apex; claw of hind leg setiform, straight and pointed. Wing (Fig. 2B). Membrane hyaline, densely covered with microtrichia; slightly darker at the tip posterior of R 5. Sc short, ending on C; R 1 slightly proximad the level of CuA tip; C extending to more than half the distance between tips of R 5 and M 1; C, R 1 and R 5 with dark setae, remaining veins bare; M 1, M 2, and M 3+4 approximately equal in length. M 1 bent anteriorly, sinuous, M 2 almost straight, M 3+4 and CuA curved posteriorly. Anal lobe well developed. Halter yellow, as long as first abdominal segment. Abdomen. Dark brown. Sternite 1 in some specimens with pale transversal posterior band; segments 2-4 with pale-yellow posterior band, occupying 20-25% of segment length; segments 5-7 and terminalia dark brown. Terminalia (Figs 3C, D; 4C, D). Tergite 9 slightly ovoid, with very dense patch of spines of equal length concentrated on apex. Gonostyli tapering, as long as apical tooth, with dense patch of apical setae. Aedeagal complex heavily sclerotised, conical, with rounded apex. Aedeagal apodemes long, straight, unbranched, directed medially. COMPARISON Although similar in coloration to L. borkenti, L. conica n. sp. differs from this species by the following features (character status in L. borkenti given in brackets):its smaller size (Table 1); a very light infuscate wing apex, occupying area between R 5 and M 1 (distinct spot); M 1 sinuous (curved posteriorly); fore coxa yellow except its very base (completely brown); aedeagus sclerotised, tapering, almost triangular (membranous, rounded).Published as part of Blagoderov, Vladimir & Pollet, Marc, 2020, Diversity of Lygistorrhina (Probolaeus) Williston, 1896 (Diptera: Keroplatidae, Lygistorrhininae) of Mitaraka (French Guiana), with descriptions of three new species, pp. 593-606 in Zoosystema 42 (30) on pages 596-598, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2020v42a30, http://zenodo.org/record/432122
