Previously described species in this subgroup include Mortoniella albolineata Ulmer, 1907; M. teutona (Mosely, 1939); and M. unota (Mosely, 1939). As in the other species subgroups recognized for Brazil, species in this subgroup are characterized by a reduced hind wing venation (only fork II present) (Fig. 38A), and also by an additional set of male genitalic characters, including the following: Fused inferior appendages with dorsally upright lateral lobes; phallotheca with well developed, but variably shaped, dorsolateral processes; endophallic membrane with a single stout ventral spine and without sclerotized phallotremal spines; and tergum X with a Vshaped or U-shaped mesal excision and without an apicomesal projection. None of these characters is unique to the M. albolineata subgroup. That the subgroup is a natural one is evidenced by the close similarity of the species to one another; indeed, many are only reliably distinguished by characters taken in combination. Most of the species have a typical 0:4:4 spur formula, but a few of the smaller species have a 0:3:4 spur formula. This character is also found in the M. pumila subgroup, as discussed below, as well as in the M. ormina species group. The M. albolineata subgroup as a whole shares character similarities with both the M. leroda and M. florica subgroups from Central America (Blahnik &amp; Holzenthal 2008), both of which, however, have both forks II and III in the hind wing present, as well as having a rather characteristic sinuous inflection of the dorsal phallic spine. All of the species of the M. albolineata subgroup have dorsolateral processes on the phallicata that seem to function as lateral guides for the paramere appendages, a common attribute for species of the M. leroda group in general, and a consistent character of the M. florica subgroup, but members of the M. albolineata subgroup always lack an apicomesal projection of tergum X. Many of the species of the M. albolineata subgroup have inferior appendages with an asymmetric ventromesal projection, as in members of the M. leroda subgroup, but this does not seem to indicate a necessary close relationship of species in the 2 subgroups and does not even seem to circumscribe an inclusive clade for members of the M. albolineata subgroup with the character.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BE87970056FFB198B1FEC0FC8FC2B3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Character similarities for this group are presented in the diagnosis for M. albolineata. All of these species have a dorsal phallic spine with a depressed, apically rounded, somewhat spatulate apex, and an endophallic membrane with distinct membranous lobes. Mortoniella acauda differs diagnostically from all the other species in this group by lacking a ventromesal projection on the fused inferior appendages; additionally, the apicomesal excision of tergum X is distinctly wider than in any of these other species. Like M. latispina and M. teutona, M. acauda lacks scale-like setae on its hind wings. Also like those species, it has a short, curved endophallic spine and elongate paramere appendages that are somewhat widened preapically.</p> <p>Adult. Length of forewing: male 3.2 mm.

Other characters, useful in combination for separating it from members of this group include the following: Fused inferior appendages without a distinct ventromesal process; endophallic spine relatively elongate and nearly straight apically; paramere appendages elongate, slightly widened preapically; and tergum X with a V-shaped mesal excision. Specimens from Minas Gerais have the dorsolateral processes of the phallicata more rounded apically (Fig. 2D) and less angularly bent, as viewed ventrally (Fig. 2E). The basal part of the tergum X in these specimens also seems to be somewhat more bulbously rounded, as viewed laterally. These differences, while apparently constant for the geographic areas compared, are also relatively minor. There also seems to be some variation in these characters even within populations; we consider this variation to be intraspecific.</p> <p>Adult.

All of these species have the character combination of inferior appendages with a distinct, asymmetrical ventromesal process, dorsal phallic spine with a depressed, apically rounded, somewhat spatulate apex, and endophallic membrane with membranous lobes. Despite the name given to the type for this group, none of these species has a particularly distinct wing bar, although a small white spot is present at the arculus on the forewing. Perhaps the name given by Ulmer refers to the more or less hyaline crossveins present at the anastamosis, evident in denuded or alcohol preserved material, a general feature within the genus. In contrast to M. latispina and M. teutona, males of both M. albolineata and M. dolonis have hind wings densely covered with modified, somewhat flattened and scale-like setae; however, this character could escape casual attention. In M. albolineata, the setae of the hind wing are more distinctly scale-like than in M. dolonis. In other characters, M. albolineata is also similar to M. dolonis; in both species the ventral endophallic spine is elongate and prominent, and both species also have paramere appendages that are uniformly narrow throughout their length, as well as distinctly separated, paired lateral lobes on the endophallic membrane (in addition to a dorsal lobe paralleling the dorsal phallic spine). The lateral lobes on the endophallic membrane in the other 2 species are either unitary or more or less contiguous. In both M. teutona and M. latispina the endophallic spine is relatively short and curved and the paramere appendages are somewhat widened preapically. Mortoniella albolineata differs from M. dolonis in a number of details, the most diagnostic of which is that the paramere appendages are much more elongate. Other differences include an endophallic spine that is strongly curved, rather than nearly straight, and dorsolateral processes on the phallicata that are narrower, almost peg-like. The notched or bifid apex of the apicomesal process of the inferior appendages of M. albolineata is a character featured in the illustration of the lectotype by Flint (1966) and was also observed in the specimens examined. It may be diagnostic for this species.</p> <p>Adult. Length of forewing: male 3.4–4.4 mm, female 3.7–4.6 mm. Forewing with forks I, II, and III present, hind wing with fork II only. Spur formula 0:4:4. Overall color, of male, grayish-brown, of female, brown. Legs brown, apices of tarsi whitish, tibial spurs somewhat darker than legs, but not strongly contrasting in color. Wing bar at anastamosis scarcely evident, marked with whitish setae at arculus on anal margin. Setae of forewing dense, decumbent, forewing of female with erect setae along major veins, that of male with slightly widened scale-like setae. Hind wing of male covered with modified scale-like setae.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Ventral process of segment VI laterally compressed, ventrally projecting, short, wide basally, rounded apically. Segment IX nearly evenly rounded anterolaterally, length greatest midlaterally, posterolateral margin forming rounded to slightly angular projection in dorsal 1/2, narrowing ventrally; segment deeply excised dorsomesally and ventromesally, forming lateral lobes, lobes separated dorsomesally by much less than 1/2 width of segment. Tergum X with broad V-shaped mesal excision; lateral lobes weakly developed, apices subacute.

Both species are characterized by having paramere appendages asymmetrically developed and differing in length, the left one shorter than the right. Other character similarities include upright processes bordering the paramere appendages that emerge from the ventral margin of the phallicata, and mesal pocket-like structures of the inferior appendages with very elongate, sinuous, spine-like apical processes. The latter structures appear to be fused or semi-fused mesally. Mortoniella asymmetris is diagnostically distinguished from M. truncata by having a tergum X, as viewed dorsally, with acute, rather than truncate, apicolateral projections, and also by having the ventral spine of the endophallic membrane modified into a structure with minute apical spines. Both of these species seem to be closely related to the group of species discussed under M. unota, agreeing in having a dorsal phallic spine sharply upturned apically, with a ventral deflection at the point of inflection, and with the spine, in dorsal view, distinctly widened at the point of inflection and very narrow basally and apically.

All of these species have the character combination of inferior appendages with a distinct, asymmetrical mesal process, dorsal phallic spine with a depressed, apically rounded, somewhat spatulate apex, and endophallic membrane with membranous lobes. Mortoniella dolonis is most similar to M. albolineata; in both species the ventral endophallic spine is elongate and prominent, and both species also have paramere appendages that are uniformly narrow throughout their length and also distinctly separated, paired lateral lobes on the endophallic membrane (in addition to a lobe paralleling the dorsal phallic spine). Also, in contrast to M. latispina and M. teutona, males of both M. albolineata and M. dolonis have hind wings densely covered with modified, somewhat flattened and scale-like setae. Mortoniella dolonis differs from M. albolineata in several details, the most diagnostic of which are that the paramere appendages are short and curved apically, rather than elongate and straight, and the endophallic spine is nearly straight and dagger-like, rather than strongly curved. An additional difference is that the dorsolateral processes on the phallicata are more prominent.</p> <p>Adult. Length of forewing: male 3.2–3.6 mm, female 3.8–4.1 mm. Forewing with forks I, II, and III present, hind wing with fork II only. Spur formula 0:4:4. Overall color, of male, grayish-brown, of female, brown. Legs brown, apices of tarsi whitish, tibial spurs somewhat darker than legs, but not strongly contrasting in color. Wing bar at anastamosis scarcely evident, marked with whitish setae at arculus on anal margin. Setae of forewing dense, decumbent; forewing of female with erect setae along major veins, that of male with slightly widened scale-like setae. Hind wing of male covered with modified scale-like setae.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Ventral process of segment VI laterally compressed, ventrally projecting, short, wide basally, rounded apically.

All of these species have the character combination of inferior appendages with a distinct, asymmetrical mesal process, dorsal phallic spine with a depressed, apically rounded, spatulate apex, and endophallic membrane with membranous lobes. It is most similar to M. teutona; in both species the ventral endophallic spine is relatively short and curved and the paramere appendages are somewhat widened preapically. The endophallic spine is much more prominent in the other 2 species of this group and both of these species have paramere appendages that are uniform in width throughout their length. Mortoniella latispina differs from M. teutona in several details, the most diagnostic of which is a dorsal phallic spine that is distinctly widened at the point of inflection, as viewed dorsally. This also distinguishes M. latispina from M. albolineata and M. dolonis. The major flexion of this spine is also more apical than in M. teutona. Other differences include a slightly wider mesal excavation of tergum X, appearing more U-shaped than V-shaped, and differences in the structure of the membranous lobes of the endophallic membrane. In M. latispina the dorsal lobe, which parallels the dorsal phallic spine, is short, rather than elongate, and the lateral lobe is not subdivided and is also distinctly sclerotized. However, this is only likely to be evident in specimens in which this structure is expanded.</p> <p>Adult. Length of forewing: male 3.3 mm. Forewing with forks I, II, and III present, hind wing with fork II only. Spur formula 0:4:4. Overall color dark brown.

Wing bar at anastamosis more or less distinctly marked with whitish setae, bar narrow, discontinuous.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Ventral process of segment VI laterally compressed, ventrally projecting, subtriangular, wide basally, rounded to subacute apically. Segment IX nearly evenly rounded anterolaterally, length greatest midlaterally, posterolateral margin weakly, convexly rounded dorsally, narrowing ventrally; segment deeply excised dorsomesally and ventromesally, forming lateral lobes, lobes separated dorsomesally by much less than 1/2 width of segment. Tergum X with U-shaped mesal excision; lateral lobes moderately elongate, apices subacute as viewed dorsally and laterally. Inferior appendages with prominent and somewhat asymmetrically developed ventromesal projection; laterally, on each side, with setose, tapering, dorsally-directed lobes. Mesal pockets of fused inferior appendages with apical processes short, slightly dorsally curved. Paramere appendages elongate, narrow, slightly widened in apical 1/3rd, upturned apically, apices acute.

All of these species have the character combination of inferior appendages with a distinct, asymmetrical mesal process, dorsal phallic spine with a depressed, apically rounded, spatulate apex, and endophallic membrane with membranous lobes. It is most similar to M. latispina; in both species the ventral endophallic spine is relatively short and curved and both species have the paramere appendages slightly widened preapically. The ventral endophallic spine is much more prominent in the other 2 species and both of these species have the paramere appendages uniform in width throughout their length. Mortoniella teutona differs from M. latispina in several details, the most diagnostic of which is a dorsal phallic spine that is either not at all, or only slightly widened in the middle, as viewed dorsally. The major point of flexion of this spine is more basal than in M. latispina. Other differences include a mesal excavation of tergum X that appears more V-shaped than U-shaped, and differences in the structure of the membranous lobes of the endophallic membrane. In M. teutona the dorsal lobes, which parallel the dorsal phallic spine, are relatively elongate and the apicolateral lobe is more or less divided into 2 sublobes which are not at all sclerotized. However, this is evident only in specimens in which this structure is expanded.</p> <p>Adult. Length of forewing: male 2.6–3.8 mm, female 3.3–4.8 mm.

Both species are characterized by having paramere appendages asymmetrically developed and differing in length, the left one shorter than the right. Other character similarities include upright processes bordering the paramere appendages than emerge near the ventral margin of the phallicata, and mesal pocket-like structures of the inferior appendages with very elongate, sinuous, spine-like apical processes which appear to be fused or semi-fused mesally. Mortoniella truncata is most easily and diagnostically distinguished from M. asymmetris by having a tergum X with truncate, rather than acute, apicolateral projections. As discussed in the diagnosis for M. asymmetris, both of these species seem to be closely related to the group of species discussed under M. unota, agreeing in having a dorsal phallic spine that is sharply upturned apically, with a slight, but distinct, ventral deflection at the point of inflection, and with the spine, in dorsal view, distinctly widened at the inflection point and narrow apically.</p> <p>Adult.

As in M. punensis (Flint, 1983), the dorsolateral processes of the phallicata are elongate and hook over the paramere appendages. However, they do not appear to cause the paramere appendages to cross over one another as in members of that group. From its original description and illustration, it seems that M. armata also has a somewhat similar development of the dorsolateral processes of the phallicata. However, M. armata can be easily distinguished because it has a dorsal phallic spine that it is trifurcate apically. Other character evidence for a relationship among the species discussed is tenuous and the overall differences considerable; we do not infer a necessary relationship among these species based on the processes of the phallicata alone. Additional characters defining the M. pocita subgroup include the structure of the inferior appendages, which lack a distinct dorsal projection, but have paired apicolateral projections, the absence of a ventromesal endophallic spine, and the presence of paired lateral endophallic spines (which could probably be interpreted as modified phallotremal spines).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BE87970075FF9298B1FB98FD37C036	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The long narrow paramere appendages are also distinctive as compared to other species described from this region. Among described species, M. alicula is undoubtedly most closely related to M. ormina (Mosely, 1939), which also has the apex of the dorsal phallic spine similarly narrowed and posteriorly bent. Diagnostic differences include the much longer paramere appendages of M. alicula, as well as the more greatly widened dorsal phallic spine and the different armature of the phallicata.</p> <p>Adult. Length of forewing: male 2.1 mm. Forewing with forks I, II, and III present, hind wing with fork II only. Spur formula 0:3:4 (preapical spur of mesotibia very small). Overall color medium brown. Legs yellowish, tibial spurs darker in color, contrasting with legs. Wing bar at anastamosis marked with white, contrasting setae, apices of forewings with small white setal spots at apices of veins.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Ventral process of segment VI posteriorly projecting, elongate, narrow, length more than 2 times width at base; apex dorsoventrally compressed, acute as viewed laterally (Fig. 23E), rounded as viewed ventrally. Segment IX rounded anterolaterally, length greatest in ventral 1/2, posterolateral margin nearly linear; segment deeply excised dorsomesally and ventromesally, forming lateral lobes, lobes separated dorsomesally by more than 1/2 width of segment. Tergum X elongate, simple in structure, with very deep, narrow U-shaped mesal excision; apical lobes broadly rounded. Inferior appendages short, inconspicuous, without dorsal or ventromesal projections, more or less fused ventromesally. Mesal pockets of inferior appendages with prominent, posteriorlydirected, spine-like projections, apparently fused to ventral margin of inferior appendages. Paramere appendages very narrow, elongate, slightly widened preapically, apices acute; appendages with broad U-shaped curvature, curved downward at base and upward at apex. Dorsal phallic spine of very distinctive structure, laterally with rounded, depressed projections; apically, as viewed dorsally, greatly widened, with T-shaped lateral projections and narrow, acute, strongly posteriorly curved dorsomesal projection. Phallicata with 2 pairs of relatively short spinelike processes, dorsally with mesally-directed, attenuate processes, crossing each other mesally, laterally with shorter, laterally-directed processes. Base of endophallic membrane (or apex of phallicata) with rounded, membranous (or lightly sclerotized) lateral projections, apex of endophallic membrane with paired, rounded, membranous projections, each with needle-like, sclerotized phallotremal spine, mesally with additional short spine (possibly modified apex of phallotremal sclerite). Phallotremal sclerite evident as small rounded sclerite.</p> <p>Holotype male: BRAZIL: Rio de Janeiro: Rio Macaé, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-42.502224&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-22.394722" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -42.502224/lat -22.394722)">Macaé de Cima</a>, 22°23'41"S, 042°30'08"W, 1000 m, 8.iii.2002, Holzenthal, Blahnik, Paprocki &amp; Prather (UMSP000087906) (pinned) (MZUSP).</p> <p>Etymology.

Although differing from the illustration of the type in several points, the essential features correspond and the differences seem to represent variable features. Diagnostic features are found in the strongly upturned dorsal phallic spine with a deep apicomesal incision and the apically incised lateral margins of tergum X. Although the apex of the dorsal phallic spine characteristically has the margin and mesal surface with small spines, these may be absent on the margin or completely absent. This is variable within the same population in the specimens recorded from Argentina. They are present in the specimens from Chile. A characteristic feature of this species is the outward curved spines at the base of the phallicata, which emerge from an enlarged, sclerotized collar. In the specimens examined, these spines are not as thick as those illustrated for the holotype. However, the development of the basal collar and the length of the spines also seem to be variable; the spines were even absent or vestigial in 1 of the specimens examined from Chile. What we have interpreted as paramere appendages are very lightly sclerotized, short, spine-like processes, which appear to be vestigial. These vary in length in the material examined; they are easily overlooked and it is possible that they may be absent in some specimens; they were not illustrated in the holotype specimen. The last notable difference of the specimens examined from the holotype are in the apical lobes of the endophallic membrane; there are 2 such lobes in the material examined, with sclerotized apical spines (probably phallotremal spines), and 4 prominent lobes with apical spines in the holotype. We have observed lobes similar to those of the holotype in some specimens from Bolivia (which, however, completely lack small apical spines on the dorsal phallic spine). In as much as this is a relatively minor feature, and only easily observed in specimens in which the endophallic membrane is expanded, we are considering this to be variation. All of the specimens we examined (for which the features could be ascertained) had a posteriorly directed dorsomesal spine from the posterior margin of the phallicata (or base of the endophallic membrane), which apparently articulates with the cleft apex of the dorsal phallic spine, and also lightly sclerotized (or nearly membranous) balloon-like projections from the lateral margin of the endophallic membrane. These were not featured or described for the holotype; they are also relatively minor features that may not have been present on the holotype specimen, or may not have been evident. Although we believe the variation described here can be accommodated in 1 variable species, we acknowledge that the species status of these populations may need to be reassessed when more material is available.</p> <p>Adult. Length of forewing: male 2.1-2.5 mm, female 2.5-3.0. Forewing with forks I, II, and III present, hind wing with fork II only. Spur formula 0:3:4. Overall color medium brown, legs slightly paler, tibial spurs darker, but not strongly contrasting with legs. Wing bar at anastamosis marked with white, contrasting setae. Males with modified scale-like setae on forewing, scales not quite extending to apex.</p> <p>Male genitalia: Ventral process of segment VI posteriorly projecting, elongate, narrow, length more than 2 times width at base; apex slightly dorsoventrally compressed, acute as viewed laterally, subacute as viewed ventrally. Segment IX rounded anterolaterally, length generally greatest in ventral 1/2, posterolateral margin nearly linear; segment deeply excised dorsomesally and ventromesally, forming lateral lobes, lobes separated dorsomesally by 1/2 or more width of segment.

However, this is not a diagnostic feature of the group, since the new species described here lack wing scales. Nevertheless, all of the species of M. velasquezi group are very similar in overall morphology, somewhat resembling members of the M. ormina species group in having the character combination of having males with an elongate ventral process on segment VI, hind wing with only fork II (Fig. 40B), and tergum X relatively simple in structure, with simple lateral lobes and a deep mesal excavation. This resemblance is probably superficial, however, since only the reduced venational character, which also occurs in some species of the M. leroda species group, can be considered apomorphic. Diagnostic features include the character combination of a very broad, strongly apically upturned dorsal phallic spine; elongate, apically inflated appendages on the posterior margin of the phallotheca, with accompanying, much enlarged mesal pockets on the fused inferior appendages, each of which has the apical spine-like process elongate and lance-like; inferior appendages that are much reduced and strongly fused with the phallic ensemble, with only simple and somewhat retrorsely directed, setose, lateral lobes; and a very short, sclerotized phallotheca. The females are even more distinctive than the males, with segment VII apparently subdivided into sclerotized posterior and anterior parts, the anterior part with a diagnostic row of very long, posteriorly directed setae (Fig. 30B). Tergum VIII is unmodified, without a posteromesal invagination. The ventral process of segment VI is similar to, but much shorter than that of the male. Tergum VII has a pair of small, nearly vestigial glandular structures (glandular structures on terga VI and/or VII is a general feature of Mortoniella females). Although similar in overall structure, the females of the new species described below can apparently be distinguished by the shape of tergum IX, featured in figures 30A, 31, and 32.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BE87970067FF8298B1FA15FAC5C733	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

As pointed out by Blahnik &amp; Holzenthal (2008), the character defining the M. bilineata species group is likely a plesiomorphic character. Other characters discussed by Blahnik &amp; Holzenthal (2008), including the presence of a narrow, posteriorly directed ventral process of sternum VI (in both males and females), segment IX of the male with the anteroventral margin produced and with the lobes widely separated dorsally, and the presence of a deeply invaginated tergum VIII in females, are not unique to the M. bilineata group. However, the structure of tergum VIII of females is distinctive for the group and could probably be considered diagnostic. An illustration of the female genitalia for M. bilineata is provided in Fig. 33, since no female of the M. bilineata species group has been previously illustrated. Its general characters are representative of the group (for those species that have been examined), except for the recurved anterior margin of tergum IX, which is a character attribute peculiar to M. bilineata. A larval character listed by Flint (1963) as diagnostic for the M. bilineata species group, a thickened seta at the base of the foretarsal claw, is difficult to apply in placing species, since very few larvae have been associated or described for Mortoniella. Flint (1963) listed several gestalt characters uniting the taxa placed in the M. bilineata species group, including the tendency of tergum X to be elongate, and several other genitalic characters, not all of which seem to be consistent for the entire group.</p> <p>Sykora (1999) divided the known taxa into 5 "tentative" subgroups (the M. argentinica, bilineata, enchrysa, flinti, and wygodzinskii subgroups), and also suggested that concepts of relationships are likely to change once the taxa are better known. About 1/2 of these species were placed in his M. bilineata subgroup. Although the included taxa were listed for each group, the defining characters for the subgroups were not discussed. An examination of illustrations for the species and representative specimens from the subgroups, suggests that the majority of species in the M. bilineata species group do have a very coherent "gestalt" similarity, although individual species may vary somewhat from this idealized form. These characters apply especially to the M. bilineata, enchrysa, and wygodzinskii subgroups of Sykora (including the majority of species), all of which have a very consistent morphological pattern. The illustration of M. wygodzinskii (Fig. 34) can be used to point out the characters uniting this group. Character similarities include the following: A more or less elongate tergum X (as suggested by Flint), usually with the mesal margin characteristically notched (as in Fig. 34B), although sometimes more deeply divided; the presence of sclerotized and setose ventral lobes on tergum X, bordering the dorsal phallic spine; an angulate ventral margin of the dorsal phallic spine, articulating with a sclerotized process on the phallicata [the process usually without dorsolateral processes acting as guides for the paramere appendages (M. roldani Flint an exception)]; a dorsal phallic spine that is sharply upturned apically and also has it apex rounded, as viewed laterally; a characteristic shape of segment IX, with the anteroventral margin produced and with the posterior margin distinctly angulate in its dorsal 1/2.</p> <p>Primary differences between the M. bilineata and enchrysa subgroups seem to be based largely on color. A number of the species in the M. bilineata subgroup of Sykora have the forewing distinctively marked with 2 wing bars, 1 at the anastamosis, as is common in Mortoniella, and another more proximal band (a unique character within Mortoniella). This contrasts with the distinctive color of the M. enchrysa group, with males uniformly golden in color (another unique character within Mortoniella), without any apparent wing bands, and with the membrane of the wing, beneath the golden setae, darkened or fuscous. Several of the species in the M. bilineata subgroup were described from pharate pupae or from alcohol, making it difficult to determine the original color of the wings, including M. angulata Flint, M. apiculata Flint, and M. hodgesi Flint. Species with 2 wing bands include M. bilineata Ulmer, M. roldani Flint, M. similis Sykora, M. chicana Sykora, and M. iridescens Flint, the first 3 with dark wings and white bands, M. chicana with light brown wings and white bands, and M. iridescens with dark wings and iridescent bands, only visible at some light angles. The only species placed in the M. enchrysa subgroup are M. enchrysa and M. paraenchrysa, although Flint (1996) recorded 2 additional undescribed species from Peru. Based on color considerations, and also genitalic characters, M. denticulata Sykora, which Sykora placed in his M. flinti subgroup, should probably be moved to the M. enchrysa subgroup. Males are nearly golden in color, without wing bars, and females have an indistinct or incomplete wing bar at the usual position, indicating the probable ancestral state for the group. Similarly, M. paralineata, which Sykora described in the M. bilineata subgroup, is described as being yellow with a fuscous wing membrane, suggesting its probable placement in the M. enchrysa subgroup. Mortoniella squamata Sykora, 1999, which Sykora placed in the M. bilineata subgroup, is described as being golden beige and unmarked, or not strictly conforming to either species group based on color considerations. Similarly, Mortoniella foersteri (Schmid, 1964) is discussed as being dark with a single white wing band. Although the M. enchrysa subgroup seems to represent a monophyletic assemblage, based on color considerations, monophyly of the entire M. bilineata group needs to be more clearly demonstrated.</p> <p>The M. flinti group of Sykora, as originally conceived, is quite heterogeneous and species differ significantly from the 3 species subgroups discussed above. With M. denticulata removed, only 4 species remain. We have not directly examined any of these species, although we have examined specimens of a species from Venezuela that is apparently very closely related to M. bifurcata Sykora, or possibly conspecific. It differs from the species discussed above in lacking an angulate ventral margin of the dorsal phallic spine and also a somewhat different overall structure of the dorsal phallic spine, as well as lacking an angulate posterior margin to segment IX. In most other respects, however, including the general structure of tergum X and also female genitalia with a deeply incised tergum VIII, it is characteristic of the M. bilineata species group. We believe that it is correctly placed here and that this will also prove to be true for M. flinti Sykora and M. quinas Harper &amp; Turcotte. Based on genitalic considerations, we suspect that M. santiaga Sykora may not only not be a member of the M. flinti subgroup, but may be misplaced in the M. bilineata species group. However, this needs to be confirmed. Mortoniella wygodzinskii, the only species placed by Sykora in his M. wygodzinskii group, is discussed below in the redescription of that species. Morphologically it is very similar to the M. bilineata and enchrysa subgroups, but lacks the distinctive color attributes of either subgroup and has some peculiar morphological distinctions of its own.</p> <p>Based on genitalic considerations, M. argentinica, type species of the M. argentinica subgroup of Sykora, is being removed from the M. bilineata species group, as discussed in the species description for that species in the section on 'species unplaced to species group'. Both the overall form of the male genitalia, and also that of the female, more closely resemble species in the M. leroda species group. The only other species "speculatively" placed in the M. argentinica subgroup by Sykora is M. unilineata Sykora, which we believe may also be misplaced in the M. bilineata species group. However, this also needs verification. It appears that these species may have been placed in the M. bilineata group based mainly on venational considerations, which as discussed above, may be plesiomorphic.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BE8797006FFF8A98B1FE76FEA6C390	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The anterior margin of segment IX is uniformly rounded, as viewed laterally, and the lobes of the segment are narrowly divided dorsomesally. Moreover the general structure of tergum X, with a U-shaped mesal excision, strongly angled apicolateral lobes, and setation (basal setae much longer than the apical ones), are also typical of the M. leroda species group. Additionally, the female genitalia (not illustrated), with tergum VIII unincised and tergum IX very short, also seems to be typical of this group. In other respects, this is a very distinctive species, unlikely to be confused with any other described species. Especially distinctive characters are the elongate, narrow, curved inferior appendages, the elongate lance-like processes from the mesal pockets of the fused inferior appendages, and the presence of 2 pairs of paramere appendages. In all of these respects the species resembles M. spinulata (Flint), which is its most probable sister species. Mortoniella spinulata differs in having elongate spines on the inferior appendages and also in having a much modified tergum X, with a very narrow apical incision and also in having the dorsal phallic spine greatly narrowed apically. Like M. argentinica, M. spinulata has 3 forks in the hind wing, but has a ventral process of segment VI more characteristic of the M. leroda species group.</p> <p>Adult. Length of forewing: male 4.0- 4.8 mm, female 4.6 mm. Forewing with forks I, II, and III present, hind wing with forks II, III, and V. Spur formula 0:4:4. Overall color dark brown.

Wing bar at anastamosis indistinct, discontinuous, most strongly marked with whitish setae near arculus on anal margin.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Ventral process of segment VI posteriorly projecting, narrow, elongate, length about twice width at base (Fig. 35E). Segment IX nearly evenly rounded anterolaterally, length greatest midlaterally, posterolateral margin convexly rounded, narrowing ventrally; segment deeply excised dorsomesally and ventromesally, forming lateral lobes, lobes separated dorsomesally by much less than 1/2 width of segment. Tergum X with Ushaped mesal excision, extending less than 1/2 length of tergum, and distinctly projecting lateral lobes; lateral lobes acute apically, as viewed both dorsally and laterally. Inferior appendages short basally, with elongate, narrow, posteriorly arched, dorsolateral lobes; lobes with short papillae or papillate-like structures at apex and usually also at base. Mesal pockets of fused inferior appendages with apical processes very elongate, lance-like, posteriorly directed. Paramere appendages apparently with 2 processes on each side; 1 pair elongate, narrow, distinctly bowed outward in apical 1/2, slightly widened preapically, apex acute; 2nd pair short, ventrally curved, narrowing apically, apex very narrow and acute. Dorsal phallic spine, as viewed laterally, more or less uniform in width, distinctly sinuously undulate in contour, apical 1/3rd strongly upturned; in dorsal view, narrow throughout, apex narrowly acuminate.

However unlike members of that group, the lateral contour of the anterior margin segment IX of the male is widest in its ventral 1/2 and the lobes of the segment are widely separated dorsomesally. Other diagnostic features of the species include the sharply upturned and apically recurved dorsal phallic spine; the shape of the inferior appendages, which have the dorsal lobes sharply posteriorly curved; the shape of tergum X, which has its basal part inflated and apical lobes narrowly separated; and the very short phallicata and endotheca. The dorsolateral processes of the phallicata are also distinctive in being elongate and narrow.</p> <p>Adult. (specimen totally cleared) Length of forewing: male 2.5 mm. Venation not discernible. Spur formula 0:4:4 (probably).</p> <p>Male genitalia. (Genital capsule separated from abdomen). Ventral process of segment VI very small, laterally compressed, ventrally projecting, subtriangular, widest basally, acute apically. Segment IX concavely rounded anterolaterally, sinuously produced and length greatest in ventral 1/2; segment deeply excised dorsomesally and ventromesally, forming lateral lobes, lobes separated dorsomesally by more than 1/2 width of segment, lobes discontinuous ventrally (probably broken). Tergum X very greatly inflated and rounded basally; apicomesal incision relatively short, narrow, U-shaped, forming projecting, acute, apicodorsal lobes; ventrolateral margin rounded, setose; tergum ventromesally with pair of converging, sclerotized, anteriorly-curved lobes. Inferior appendages very short, with only slight ventromesal projection, dorsally with relatively elongate, tapering, apically acute lobes, each strongly posteriorly bent at about midlength. Mesal pockets of fused inferior appendages with apical processes short, posteroventrally curved. Paramere appendages intermediate in length (shorter than dorsal phallic spine), very narrow, uniform in width, apices acute and slightly upturned. Dorsal phallic spine, as viewed laterally, widened in middle, obtusely angled upward from ventral margin, dorsal margin gradually curved, apical part nearly vertical in orientation, apex acute, slightly reflexed. Phallicata with very narrow, pencil-like dorsolateral processes, ventral margin weakly sclerotized, slightly projecting. Endophallic membrane very short, simple in structure, without ventromesal spine; phallotremal spines absent.</p> <p>Material examined.

The nearly straight anterior margin of segment IX and synsclerous posterior margin of segment VIII are especially distinctive. Mortoniella meloi is also characterized by having slightly widened, but not exactly scale-like, setae along the costal margin of the forewings of the male, and on abdominal segments anterior to segment VIII.</p> <p>Adult. Length of forewing: male 3.5 mm. Forewing with forks I, II, and III present, hind wing with fork II only. Spur formula 0:4:4. Overall color grayish-brown. Wing bar at anastamosis scarcely evident, marked only by whitish-brown setae at arculus on hind margin.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Ventral process of segment VI short, laterally compressed, ventrally projecting, bluntly rounded apically, slightly narrowed basally from anterior margin (Fig. 37E). Segment VIII more or less synsclerous (more distinctly so on posterior margin); tergum with pronounced anterolateral apodemes. Segment IX very short, anterior margin nearly straight, posterior margin curved, narrowing dorsally; segment excised dorsomesally and ventromesally, forming lateral lobes, lobes separated dorsomesally by more than 1/2 width of segment, lobes convergent ventrally and very narrowly joined. Tergum X short; apicomesal incision relatively narrow, U-shaped, forming projecting, acute, apicodorsal lobes; ventrolateral margin subtruncate, setose; tergum ventromesally with convergent, mesally-fused, sclerotized, anteriorly-curved lobes. Inferior appendages very short, with short, paired, acute ventromesal projections, dorsally with short, subacute, outwardly-flared lobes, Mesal pockets of fused inferior appendages with apical processes short, dorsally curved. Paramere appendages relatively elongate (extending about as far as dorsal phallic spine), narrow, uniform in width, apices acute. Dorsal phallic spine, as viewed laterally, more or less uniform in width, strongly dorsally oriented, apical 1/4th very sharply bent, apex acute and somewhat reflexed. Phallicata with sclerotized dorsolateral processes, each concavely curved to accommodate paramere appendage. Endophallic membrane very short, simple in structure; phallotremal sclerite composed of short mesal spine and 2 longer, diverging, lateral spines (possibly fused phallotremal spines).</p> <p>Holotype male: BRAZIL: São Paulo: Parque Estadual Intervales, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-48.420834&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-24.316387" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -48.420834/lat -24.316387)">Rio do Carmo</a>, 24°18'59"S, 048°25'15"W, 560 m, 29.ix.2002, Blahnik, Prather, Melo &amp; Calor (UMSP000088168) (pinned) (MZUSP).</p> <p>Etymology.
