038E87DFFFD3FFEB1CEDFBD8FDAF55B1.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Manota aligera belongs to a large group of Neotropical species that have a setose laterotergite and long posterolateral lobes on the gonocoxa. Within this group M. aligera shares a well-developed (i. e. with distinct and long lateral margins) sternite 9 with only a few species, viz. M. anfracta, M. bihamata, M. ciliata, M. digitata, M. incisa, M. micella, M. micula, M. penicillata and M. spinosa. However, M. aligera differs from all New World species by its unusual gonostylus that is shorter than broad (longer than broad in case of other species) and with a specific chaetotaxy (Fig. 3 A).	en	Hippa, Heikki, Kurina, Olavi, Sääksjärvi, Ilari E.

038E87DFFFD1FFE41CEDFD8EFE9655CD.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Manota aristoseta is very similar to M. pisinna and M. exigua and can easily be mistaken for them. It is distinguished from both in having the two megasetae on the posteromedial margin of the gonocoxa characteristically modified: apically dilated with the rounded apex supplemented by a seta-like branch attached to the base of the dilated part. In the two other species, the megasetae are dilated subapically leaving the apex narrow and seta-like. In M. aristoseta, the seta-like branch is probably homologous with the apex of the megasetae in the two other species. Further, M. aristoseta differs from the two other species in having a longer gonostylus and lacking numerous setae on its medial margin. For further discussion, see under M. exigua.	en	Hippa, Heikki, Kurina, Olavi, Sääksjärvi, Ilari E.

038E87DFFFDDFFE11CEDFA7FFD3355B1.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Manota digitata belongs to a large group of Neotropical species that have a setose laterotergite and long posterolateral lobes on the gonocoxa. Within this group M. digitata shares a well-developed sternite 9, i. e. the sternite has a distinct and long lateral margin, with only a few species, viz. M. aligera, M. anfracta, M. bihamata, M ciliata, M. incisa, M. micella, M. micula, M. penicillata and M. spinosa. However, M. ciliata is otherwise clearly distinguished by 1) a very broad parastylar lobe that is as broad as the space between sternite 9 and the base of gonostylus and 2) a dorsally curving setae with prominent finger-like sockets on the apicolateral margin of the gonostylus. The broad parastylar lobe of M. digitata is similar to M. inermis, but the latter has a nonsetose laterotergite, non-setose parastylar lobe, the setae on the gonostylus unmodified, and the posterior margin of sternite 9 straight.	en	Hippa, Heikki, Kurina, Olavi, Sääksjärvi, Ilari E.

038E87DFFFDBFFE21CEDFD8EFCDF54BD.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Manota exigua is quite similar to M. pisinna and M. aristoseta and can easily be mistaken for them. It differs from both in having 1) the ventromedial margin of the gonocoxa anteriorly drawn into a curved lobe, and 2) sternite 9 ca. three times broader than long. Manota exigua is more similar to M. pisinna in having the two megasetae on the dorsal medial margin without a seta-like branch (with branch in M. aristoseta) and in having several setae on the medial margin of the relatively shorter gonostylus (without setae in M. aristoseta).

038E87DFFFD8FFFC1CEDF9CFFCA055CD.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Manota flabellata belongs to a large group of Neotropical species all of which have 1) a nonsetose laterotergite, 2) the gonocoxa fused laterally to sternite 9, 3) a membranous parastylar lobe, 4) a posterolateral lobe on the gonocoxa, and 5) a similar basic pattern of many megasetae bearing lobes dorsally on the gonocoxa. Within this group M. flabellata is distinguished by the two flattened megasetae on the ventral medial margin of the gonocoxa. Manota flabellata is most similar to M. depilis as both species have the ventromedial margin of the gonocoxa with a submedial lobe, a similar outline of the gonostylus, a flattened and apically dilated anterior most megaseta dorsally on the gonocoxa, and the cercus with rich fine setosity. Manota depilis even has a modified marginal seta on the medioventral lobe of gonocoxal, however, it is single and not conspicuously flattened as the two setae are in M. flabellata.	en	Hippa, Heikki, Kurina, Olavi, Sääksjärvi, Ilari E.

Manota limulata is distinguished from all the known similar species by the setosity of the cercus and hypoproct that is unusually dense and short (reminiscent somewhat of setosity on the hypoproct of M. limonensis) and in having a long, apically setose, lobe posteriorly on the ventral side of gonocoxa. In M. limulata, the organ inside the gonocoxa with transverse ridges or a washboard-like surface is not observed in any other Manota, but the character can easily be missed.	en	Hippa, Heikki, Kurina, Olavi, Sääksjärvi, Ilari E.

Manota micella belongs to a large group of Neotropical species that have a setose laterotergite and long posterolateral lobes on gonocoxa. Within this group M. micella shares a well-developed (i. e. with distinct and long lateral margins) sternite 9 that is at least as long as wide, with only a few species, viz. M. aligera, M. anfracta, M. bihamata, M. ciliata, M. digitata, M. incisa, M. micula, M. penicillata and M. spinosa.

Manota parvula is similar to M. iota but can be distinguished in having: 1) a gonostylus with a patch of setae ventrally on the basal half (without ventral setae in M. iota), 2) a U-shaped aedeagus with the apex curved posteriorly (in M. iota the aedeagus is elongate subtriangular with the apex curved ventrally), and 3) the cercus posteriorly broad, subequal to its length (narrow, not more than half of the length of cercus in M. iota). Both species are similar to M. mexicapan, M. planistylus, M. rectolobata and M. intermedia, but can be distinguished by the characters presented by Hippa & Kurina (2013: 118). As in all discussed species, the gonostylus of M. parvula can appear very differently depending on the angle of view and rotation in different mounts.

038E87DFFFCEFFF71CEDFC8DFB0853FB.taxon	discussion	Discussion. By the general structure of the hypopygium M. pauloides belongs to a group of four Neotropical species together with M. acuminata, M. paula and M. minutula (see also discussion by Hippa & Kurina 2013: 126). Manota pauloides differs from the other species as follows: 1) the sternite 9 is entirely fused with the gonocoxa and not extending to its middle (posterolaterally free and extending to or well over the middle of gonocoxa in case of other species), 2) in having 1 + 3 simple megasetae anteriorly from the juxtagonostylar megasetae on the dorsal side of the gonocoxa (different arrangement in other species), 3) anterior lobe porteriorly from the juxtagonostylar megasetae with ca. five normal setae (in M. paula this lobe is submembranous and bare, in M. minutula with one seta, in M. acuminata not identifiable), 4) posterior lobe posteriorly from the juxtagonostylar megasetae has similarly to M. minutula three strong and pointed megasetae (in M. paula a couple of normal setae plus a flattened seta, in M. acuminata two strong megasetae), and 5) the posterolateral lobe of the gonocoxa is similarly to M. acuminata posteriorly widening (parallel sided in case of other two species). By shape and chaetotaxy of the gonostylus, M. pauloides is most similar to M. paula. However, in M. pauloides the elongated apicolateral corner of gonostylus forms at least 1 / 2 of gonostylus width (about 1 / 5 in M. paula), and in M. pauloides at the apicomedial corner of gonostylus there is one long and strong seta and one weaker seta (one strong seta and about four weaker setae in M. paula).	en	Hippa, Heikki, Kurina, Olavi, Sääksjärvi, Ilari E.

038E87DFFFCAFFF11CEDF8F5FD7B5317.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Manota pustulosa belongs to a group of highly similar Neotropical species, viz. M. ibanezi, M. major, M. quantula and M. squamulata. All of them have: 1) the anterior basalare setose, and 2) a very large sternite 9 that is laterally completely fused with the gonocoxa, posteriorly broad, and extending almost to base of the gonostyli. It is distinguished from M. major and M. squamulata in having the setae on the apical part of the gonostylus shorter than the length of gonostylus (much longer in case of other species), and in having the setae / megasetae on the lobe at the dorsal medial margin of the gonocoxa much stouter. Manota pustulosa also differs from M. squamulata in lacking the bilobed gonostylar apex, and from M. major in lacking a non-setose area posteromedially on sternite 9. Manota pustulosa is distinguished from M. ibanezi and M. quantula in having: 1) the apical setae of the gonostylus on about three quarters of the length of gonostylus instead of one half of that length, 2) the apicalmost seta characteristically curved on its basal half instead of being curved on the apical part or throughout the whole length, 3) the parastylar lobe as broad as long with setae on the ventral surface instead of being narrower with the setae at the medial margin, and 4) the juxtagonostylar seta well-developed instead of being absent (M. quantula) or unidentifiable (M. ibanezi).	en	Hippa, Heikki, Kurina, Olavi, Sääksjärvi, Ilari E.

038E87DFFFC8FFCC1CEDF9E7FF7E57E0.taxon	discussion	Discussion. By combination of the setose laterotergite, the gonocoxa fused laterally with sternite 9 leaving only the posterior margin distinct, and unusually long posterolateral lobes of the gonocoxa, M. serrulata differs from any other New World Manota species. Manota serrulata resembles somewhat M. spinosa in having the posterolateral lobes of the gonocoxa with short and acute megasetae apically, and the gonostyli attached to the gonocoxa at the middle of its length. Otherwise the two species are very different, distinguished for instance by lobes at the ventromedial margin of the gonocoxa, the shape of the parastylar lobes and juxtagonostylar setae, the rather long lateral margin of sternite 9 in M. spinosa and other details of the hypopygium.	en	Hippa, Heikki, Kurina, Olavi, Sääksjärvi, Ilari E.
