Hamada, J. Silva, J.M.C. Nascimento &amp; G.P. Amorim Jr. leg. (INPA) . PARATYPES: 3 ♁♁, as holotype (INPA) .</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet is a tribute to Francisco José do Nascimento, also known as “Drag„o do Mar” (draco maris in Latin), who was a sea man and an important Brazilian abolitionist leader born in Ceará State, where the new species was collected.</p><p>Diagnostic characters. The new species can be separated from all other Diplosmittia species by the combination of a well-developed costal extension, virga strongly reduced to a small horizontal bar, and inferior volsella present.</p><p>Description.

Palp segment lengths (in μm): 13–15, 22–27, 40–43, 38–42, 44–48. Third palpomere with 2 sensilla clavata subapically, longest 12–14 μm long.</p><p>Thorax. Antepronotum without setae. Dorsocentrals 4–6, acrostichals 2 in median field, prealars 3. Scutellum with 3–4 setae.</p><p>Wing. VR 1.47–1.53. R 2+3 ending closer to R 4+5 than to R 1. Costal extension 118–130 μm long; false vein almost reaching tip of wing; Cu 1 slightly sinuate. Brachiolum with 1 seta.</p><p>Legs. Spur of fore tibia 26–31 μm long; spurs of mid tibia 14–17 μm and 15–18 μm long; spurs of hind tibia 15–17 and 35–36 μm long, tibial comb with 9–10 bristles. Width at apex of fore tibia 22–23 μm; of mid tibia 24–25 μm; of hind tibia 29–30 μm. Lengths (in μm) and proportions of legs as in Table 1.</p><p>Hypopygium (Figs. 2A–D, 3A–C). Anal point well-developed, without crest, 40–48 μm long; 35–40 μm wide at base; 9–12 μm wide at apex; with 9–11 strong setae (Fig. 2A); laterosternite IX with 2–4 setae. Phallapodeme 70–73 µm long; transverse sternapodeme slightly arched, 68–75 µm long. Virga a small horizontal bar, 10 µm long. Gonocoxite 98–102 µm long, with broadly rounded inferior volsella (Fig. 2C); superior volsella indicated as basal swelling of inner margin of gonocoxite. Main lobe of gonostylus somewhat triangular, 46–48 μm long, with large crista dorsalis, with 3 dorsal setae and a ventral row of 7 setae subapicaly; basal lobe 56–60 μm long, with 6 small ventral setae; megaseta 9–10 μm long. HR 1.92–2.13; HV 3.26–3.65.</p><p>Female imago and immatures. Unknown.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F4F24EFFE4FFC8FF2DF8A3A7948D97	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
