35782AF874F75F8192B2B4FEE5F7F14B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Tupiperla furcata sp. nov. is a medium-sized species with general coloration ranging from ochraceous to brownish. Males are characterized by elongated, deeply forked paraprocts and a large, bifurcated projection on tergum 10. Females possess a long subgenital plate with a deep medial notch.	en	Duarte, Tácio, Bispo, Pitágoras C., Pessacq, Pablo (2025): What do morphological data tell us about the Andean-Neotropical Gripopteryginae (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae) and related taxa?

35782AF874F75F8192B2B4FEE5F7F14B.taxon	description	Description. Holotype, adult MALE. Head: Brown with a lighter area between paired ocelli and two lighter bands from the lateral ocelli to the eyes, occiput surface rough (Fig. 5 A, B). Ocelli and eyes black. Antenna brown, long, antennomeres covered with very small fine hair. — Mouthparts: Clypeus brown, labrum lighter shade of brown. Maxillary palps light brown, 5 - segmented, first and fourth segments short, second, third, and fifth longer, fifth segment slightly darker than the others. Labial palps light brown, 3 - segmented, the last segment slightly darker than the others. — Thorax: Pronotum square, brown, with rough surface and narrower than the head, corners slightly rounded. — Legs: Light brown to ochraceous. Legs with a large disto-ventral spine on femur, distal region of spine darker. Tibia with a perpendicular suture in the proximal region and with two spurs at the distal region. Tarsi light brown, fore- and mid-legs with first tarsomere medium, second tarsomere short, and third tarsomere long; hind leg with first and third tarsomeres subequal, long; second tarsomere short. — Wings: Forewing membranous light brown; inconspicuous darker pattern bordering veins and crossveins; pterostigmatic crossveins absent; RA unforked, RP forked; CuA long forked. Hind wing with M 3 + 4, near its separation from M 1 + 2, fused with CuA in part of its length, CuA short forked, sixth anal vein may be fused with hind margin of wing (Fig. 5 C). — Male terminalia: Abdomen brownish to ochraceous with slightly clear band on abdominal terga 1 – 9. In dorsal view, tergum 10 ochraceous with clear band on the anterior region; projection of the tergum 10 brownish, large, swallowtail-like (Y-shaped), with short, wide base, and two elongated, sharply forked lateral projections, each ending in a downcurved tooth (Fig. 5 D). In ventral view, paraprocts thin, directed to the projection of tergum 10. Subgenital plate ochraceous, triangular, with apex prolonged between the paraprocts (Fig. 5 E). In lateral view, projection of tergum 10 curved ventrally, ending in two large teeth; paraprocts deeply forked from the last third, forming two thin bars; apex of the dorsal bar slightly upcurved, apex of the ventral bar slightly downcurved (Fig. 5 F). Median sclerotized epiproct absent. — Adult FEMALE description. Same as male, except for: Abdomen: membranous; brownish to ochraceous with slightly clear band on abdominal terga and with abdominal sterna darker; sternum 7 with two small and inconspicuous sclerites; subgenital plate long, with base broadest, laterally projected, and apex reaching sternum 10; a deep U-shaped notch medially dividing the subgenital plate (Fig. 5 G, H); paraprocts thin, long compared to the other congeners; apex truncated.	en	Duarte, Tácio, Bispo, Pitágoras C., Pessacq, Pablo (2025): What do morphological data tell us about the Andean-Neotropical Gripopteryginae (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae) and related taxa?

35782AF874F75F8192B2B4FEE5F7F14B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The epithet “ furcata ” is derived from the Latin word “ furcatus ”, meaning “ forked ”. This refers to the forked shape of the paraprocts in males and the subgenital plate in females of this species.	en	Duarte, Tácio, Bispo, Pitágoras C., Pessacq, Pablo (2025): What do morphological data tell us about the Andean-Neotropical Gripopteryginae (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae) and related taxa?
