According to Marten (Zukowsky 1936), the male and female syntypes were found in copula, and he remarked that their association should not be in doubt. The sexes are considerably dimorphic, with the male having hyaline wings and the female having totally opaque forewings, dark brown with pale yellow to white toward the wing tips. The male has a slender body, dark with blue­green sheen and with a somewhat elongate, divided anal tuft. The female body is robust and dull dark brown. The male thorax has much orange to orange red laterally, and the head has white on the labial palps, both characters lacking on the female.	en	Eichlin, Thomas D., Kinnee, Scott A.

BC6F878CFF9E2234EF3CFA54B2EBF90F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Based on label data, adults were captured in April, August, October and November. One additional female from Equador was found in material from the Bishop Museum, Hawaii, and very recently, a female was captured in a flight trap in Equador by Fred Andrews (CSCA). The seven males from Rondonia were net collected when responding to artificial sex attractant (Z, Z 3,13 ­ octadecadien­ 1 ­ ol acetate) (Eric Fisher, CSCA, pers. comm.). In the Neotropics the color pattern described above for female angarodes (dark opaque forewings with whitish scaling apically) is a repeating pattern seen in other species of Sesiidae in all three subfamilies and in different genera within a subfamily (see Discussion of Sophona leucoteles (Clarke) in Eichlin 1986: 345).	en	Eichlin, Thomas D., Kinnee, Scott A.

BC6F878CFF9B223BEF3CFB46B569FD4F.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name of this species, leptosoma, is derived from the Greek leptos (slender) and soma (body). This refers to its relatively slender abdomen.	en	Eichlin, Thomas D., Kinnee, Scott A. (2002): Brazilian Sesiidae in the collection of the Universität des Saarlandes, Saarbrücken, Germany (Lepidoptera). Zootaxa 108: 1-15, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.159263
BC6F878CFF9B223BEF3CFB46B569FD4F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. One additional specimen of leptosoma from the UCR collection was examined: " Coleção Julian, ARP " but included no locality information or date; therefore, it was not listed above as part of the type series. Unfortunately, several of the type series, including the holotype, have no label data except " It., " an abreviation for Itatiaya.	en	Eichlin, Thomas D., Kinnee, Scott A.

BC6F878CFF96223CEF3CFCE4B383F8E2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Wing length: 6 ­ 8.5 mm. The wings are clear. On most specimens the abdomen has narrow yellow bands on all segments except the third. Underneath, the abdomen is mostly pale yellow to white on all but segment three. The antennae have some yellow powdering toward the tip.	en	Eichlin, Thomas D., Kinnee, Scott A.

BC6F878CFF96223CEF3CFCE4B383F8E2.taxon	description	Description. Male (Figs. 4 & 5). Head with vertex brown black; occipital fringe dorsally yellow with some brown black mixed, becoming pale yellow to white laterally; front white laterally, labial palpus smoothly scaled, yellow with brown black variously laterally; antenna with yellow powdering variously distally. Thorax brown black, narrow subdorsal yellow stripe, yellow patch beneath wings. On most specimens examined, abdomen brown black with narrow yellow bands on posterior edge of all segments except segment 3; ventrally pale yellow to white on segments 1, 2 and most of 4 ­ 7, segment 3 brown black; anal tuft wedge shaped, brown black. Legs mostly brown black with some yellow on forecoxa and somewhat around tibiae near spur pairs. Forewing hyaline with narrow brown black apical margins and narrow discal spot, perhaps some yellow in thin line on costal margin; ventrally with light powdering on costal and apical margins on well marked specimens. Hindwing hyaline. Genitalia (Fig. 19) with bare area of valvae extensive on posterior half; saccus about one­half length of valvae. Female: Like the male, but with yellow powdering dorsally on forewing on apical margin between veins and ventrally powdering more strongly than on male. Abdomen ventrally yellow, not white as on male; anal tuft brush­like, medially with some white and yellow scales. Head with occipital fringe laterally yellow. Genitalia (Fig. 20) with antrum elongate, straight, sclerotized except where constricted near middle; ductus bursae swollen, sclerotized, transversly wrinkled then becoming membranous, more slender, longitudinally wrinkled; corpus bursae globose, without distinct signum.	en	Eichlin, Thomas D., Kinnee, Scott A.

BC6F878CFF96223CEF3CFCE4B383F8E2.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This species, plaumanni, is so designated in recognition of Fritz Plaumann (Fig. 25) who collected most of the type series. Moreover, a great many specimens of several insect orders were accumulated by Mr. Plaumann and are currently found in collections around the world, especially in the Western Hemisphere and Europe.	en	Eichlin, Thomas D., Kinnee, Scott A.

BC6F878CFF96223CEF3CFCE4B383F8E2.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Fritz Plaumann s material comes mostly from the heavily forested region of the Rio Uruguay near the boundary of the states of Sta. Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul (see translation of Plaumann by Calvert 1956), as is indicated above on the specimen labels of most of the type series. On the male paratype in the IGUS, the abdominal banding dorsally is obscure or lacking.	en	Eichlin, Thomas D., Kinnee, Scott A.

BC6F878CFF90223DEF3CFEDCB208FB78.taxon	etymology	Etymology.
