03AF4162FFD8356EFF693EABFB15FD1C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. C extending slightly beyond R 5, R 5 ending rather close to wing apex; Sc complete, ending at C on basal third of wing length; h, Sc, sc-r, Rs and M 1 + 2 without macrotrichia, other veins with dorsal macrotrichia; first sector of Rs transverse or almost transverse; r-m long, almost longitudinal, aligned with second sector of R 5, this r-m / R 5 system pretty much separated from R 1. Medial and cubital forks complete, CuA slightly concave, A 1 absent on distal third. Laterotergite and mediotergite bare. Gonocoxite with an extension distal to the base of gonostyle, the inner face typically with numerous short spines; gonostyle elongated, with combs of short spines and a long, preapical spine. Paraleia is unequivocally separated from its closeby relatives in the Leiinae — e. g., Leia, Leiella, Indoleia, Clastobasis, Rondaniella Johannsen, Neoclastobasis Ostroverchova, and Greenomyia Brunetti — by the rm / R 5 complex largely displaced from the anterior margin, actually a uniquely derived feature of the genus. The distal projection of the gonocoxite, posterior to the insertion of the gonostyles, bearing a number of spines, sometimes forming combs, also present in the gonostyle, is also a very distinctive of the species of Paraleia.	en	Oliveira, Sarah Siqueira, Amorim, Dalton De Souza (2012): Six new species of Paraleia Tonnoir (Diptera, Mycetophilidae): amphinotic elements at the northern range of the Andes.

03AF4162FFD93568FF693F52FE29FED7.taxon	discussion	Comments. One of the P. bolivari sp. n. females has the wing maculae lighter than the others, but the shape of sternite 8 is similar, so they are considered here as conspecific. The wing pattern in this species is quite similar to that of P. denticulata sp. n. and P. sharkeyi sp. n. regarding the disposition of the maculae on the wing membrane, but it is stronger and more conspicuous than in that from the other species, especially on the first section of Rs. The presence of a long gonostyle, with a row of short spines and a single long apical one (Fig. 13) also differentiate P. bolivari sp. n. from P. denticulata sp. n., where the gonostyle shows an irregular row of short spines, as well as a single subapical one (Fig. 18). In the female terminalia, the distal margin of the sternite 8 is very particular in each one of these species: round with a fringe of brown setae in P. b o l i v a r i sp. n. (Figs. 14, 15); wide with a distal incision, brown and long setae in P. denticulata sp. n. (Fig. 19); and with a deep lateral incision, quite strongly setose in P. sharkeyi sp. n. (Fig. 22).	en	Oliveira, Sarah Siqueira, Amorim, Dalton De Souza (2012): Six new species of Paraleia Tonnoir (Diptera, Mycetophilidae): amphinotic elements at the northern range of the Andes.

03AF4162FFDF3567FF693BE5FE82FB90.taxon	discussion	Comments. The holotype wing has the base of vein M 1 nearly separated from M 1 + 2, but is otherwise identical to the females. R 5 in all specimens analyzed is particularly straight. The general body coloration of this species is quite similar to P. p e r u v i a n a Edwards, known from Mamara, Peru. In the Edwards original description of P. p e r u v i - ana there are no illustrations of male and female terminalias, but it is possible at this moment to note some differences in the wing maculation. In P. f u m o s a sp. n., the wing membrane shows very weak maculae across medial veins and at anal cell (Figs. 5, 6) and the CuA is not sinuous. On the other hand, in P. peruviana the wing membrane is maculated at the medial veins; stronger on the first section of Rs, apex of R 5, and anal cell; and the CuA is slightly sinuous.	en	Oliveira, Sarah Siqueira, Amorim, Dalton De Souza (2012): Six new species of Paraleia Tonnoir (Diptera, Mycetophilidae): amphinotic elements at the northern range of the Andes.

03AF4162FFD4357CFF6938ECFAB8FCA7.taxon	discussion	Comments. One of the wings of the only specimen known is entirely missing and the other wing has the distal part missing. The aedeagus is bifid from its base to the apex, the presence of only two ocelli and the regular rows of short spines at the apex of gonostyle clearly approximate this species to P. fumosa sp. n. However the gonocoxite distal extension and wing maculation are very particular in each of these species. The gonocoxites of P. tonnoiri sp. n. show an irregular longitudinal row of short spines at their inner surface and one apical spine longer and curved (Fig. 20); the wing membrane seems do not have maculation (Fig. 9).

03AF4162FFCA357DFF693D56FA51FE34.taxon	discussion	Comments. Considering the other female species described here, differences in the wings and shape of the sternite 8 are enough to erect P. nidorosa sp. n. as a new species despite missing the male specimen. Paraleia nidorosa sp. n. shows the wing membrane with only a brown macula rather indefinite close to wing apex (Fig. 10) and a female sternite 8 rounded apically, little depressed at inner dorsal margin, with long setae apically (Fig. 21). Paraleia bolivari sp. n., P. fu m o s a sp. n., P. denticulata sp. n., and P. sharkeyi sp. n., besides the macula on the wing apex, show wing membrane patterned in other regions (Figs. 4, 6, 8, 11) and Paraleia sp. has the wing hyaline (Fig. 12). The distal margin of sternite 8 of P. bolivari sp. n. is round with fringe of setae, not depressed at inner dorsal margin (Figs. 14, 15); in P. f u m o s a sp. n. it is rounded with a fringe of long setae (Fig. 17); in P. d e n - ticulata sp. n. it is wide with a distal incision, brown and long setae (Fig. 19); in P. sharkeyi sp. n. (Fig. 22) it has a deep lateral incision and is quite strongly setose; in Paraleia sp. is pointed with black setulae along its distal margin.	en	Oliveira, Sarah Siqueira, Amorim, Dalton De Souza (2012): Six new species of Paraleia Tonnoir (Diptera, Mycetophilidae): amphinotic elements at the northern range of the Andes.

03AF4162FFC8357EFF693EABFA4CF9A9.taxon	discussion	Comments. There is some minor variation at wing maculation between the specimens of the type series. This species is very similar morphologically to P. bolivari, sp. n. and P. denticulata sp. n., with differences in the wing maculation and in the shape of sternite 8. Paraleia sharkeyi sp. n. has stronger maculae on wing membrane just after the first section of Rs, apex of R 5, and around base of cubital fork (Fig. 11), and sternite 8 with a deep lateral incision, which is quite strongly setose (Fig. 22). Paraleia bolivari sp. n. has the wing membrane strongly at the first section of Rs, at wing apex, at base and apex of cubital fork (Figs. 5, 6), and a sternite 8 round with fringe of setae (Figs. 14, 15); in P. denticulata sp. n. the wing membrane is inconspicuous maculated at the first section of Rs and at the wing apex (Figs. 7, 8), and the sternite 8 is wide with a distal incision, brown and long setae (Fig. 19).	en	Oliveira, Sarah Siqueira, Amorim, Dalton De Souza (2012): Six new species of Paraleia Tonnoir (Diptera, Mycetophilidae): amphinotic elements at the northern range of the Andes.

03AF4162FFC83579FF693852FF17FA8D.taxon	discussion	Comments. In most of the Paraleia species studied here, there is not much color variation between males and females, but there are a few exceptions. The female specimens included here as Paraleia sp. show some variation concerning the presence of a brown spot basally at the hind coxa (which is missing in some specimens), and yellowish spots may be present or absent on the brownish anepisternum and katepisternum. Interestingly, all these females have identical female terminalia, suggesting that, despite some variation in coloration, these specimens may be conspecific. These females, on the other hand, are similar to the male of P. tonnoiri sp. n. for most details of the morphology, including the number of ocelli, but were collected in different localities in Colombia. In P. tonnoiri sp. n. the coloration of the scutum is brown with two narrow yellow bands joining posteriorly, a feature present in one of the specimens of Paraleia sp., less evident in the remaining females. At this stage, the fact that the distal part of the wing is missing in P. tonnoiri sp. n. and that there are no males collected together with the females included here under Paraleia sp. makes it advisable not to propose a separate species name for these latter specimens.	en	Oliveira, Sarah Siqueira, Amorim, Dalton De Souza (2012): Six new species of Paraleia Tonnoir (Diptera, Mycetophilidae): amphinotic elements at the northern range of the Andes.
