This new species is included within the P. signata group due to the discoidal basal flagellomeres on the antennae.

Additionally, the new species may be separated from P. dactylota because its brush-like arrangement of the apical spines of gonocoxite 9. Such structures are elongated, thickened, slightly expanded basally and curved dorsally, with distal half curved laterodorsally, with apical spines of different sizes, subparallel and brush-like arranged. The male ectoproct is trapezoidal in lateral view, ventrally with a thickened sclerotized ovoid lobe with the inner zone arched; the gonarcus has a semicircular window between the differentiated dorsal and ventral parts.</p><p>Description.

This species is included within the P. melitomae group due to the shape of the basal flagellomeres which are as long as wide. Plega spinosa sp. n. is the only species that lacks spines on the male gonocoxites 9. This species also presents the gonocoxites 9 elongated and thin, slightly sinuous. A prominent bump area between the antennae, which is surrounded by abundant pale setae is remarkable; the flagellomeres of distal half of flagellum are slightly longer than wide; the male ectoproct is subtriangular in lateral view with thickened spinous setae on postero-ventral region, ventrally it has a widened, sclerotized plate, slightly curved with conical apex and inner margin serrated. Gonarcus median lobe has two differentiated parts with a semicircular window between them, both parts of gonarcus with minute spinules.</p><p>Description. Body length: 5.6–12.9 mm. Forewing length: 5.9–14.3 mm. Hind wing length: 4.5–10.7 mm.</p><p>General coloration. Pale brown, with some dark brown spots.</p><p>Head. Mostly pale brown with dark areas. An irregular dark pattern from frons to occiput; a prominent bump area between the antennae, which is surrounded by abundant pale setae is present; a dark chevron-shaped mark on coronal suture; antenna with scape and pedicel pale brown, with dark lateral band on each side, flagellum brown with some pale flagellomeres: 30 or 31 segments, 18 to 20 basal flagellomeres pale brown, next three pale, and last ten pale brown; basal flagellomeres as long as wide, slightly longer than wide on antennal distal half (Fig. 8a); clypeus from pale to dark brown; labrum pale, slightly infuscate; mandibles dark brown; maxillary and labial palpi from pale to dark brown.</p><p>Thorax. Pronotum pale brown to brown, with two dark anterolateral regions; three rows of thick uneven stout setae on transverse outgrowths (Fig. 8a); meso and metanotum brown to dark brown, with thick and dark setae, and a white spot on anterior part of metanotum; pleural region dark brown with paler areas, with few stout dark setae and scattered slender pale setae.</p><p>Legs. Foreleg with coxa pale brown, with a dark spot on apex of internal side; trochanter pale with a pale brown spot ventrally; femur outer side mottled, inner surface mainly dark brown and pale basally (Fig. 8b), spines pale with dark apex; tibia dashed with pale and brown (Fig. 8b). Middle and hind leg stripped brown and pale brown.</p><p>Wings. Forewing hyaline with most crossveins dark brown, slightly darker areas on posterior margin (Fig. 7), pterostigma dark brown with pale areas, longitudinal veins alternate brown and pale; 13–15 costal crossveins posterior to humeral vein; three veins arising from rarp1 cell and two or three veins arising from rarp2 cell; six or seven gradate veins on RP; hind wing hyaline with crossveins only finely infuscate, amber shaded areas adjacent to posterior and apical margins, pterostigma dark brown and pale subapically; five costal crossveins; two or three veins arising from rarp1 cell, one or two from rarp2 cell; three or four gradate crossveins on RP.</p><p>Abdomen. Generally pale brown, with two dark longitudinal bands on each side.</p><p>Male genitalia. Tergite 9 sclerotized, dorsally narrower than laterally; ectoproct subtriangular in lateral view (Fig. 8c), with long fine setae on postero-dorsal margin, and thickened spinous setae on postero-ventral margin (Fig. 8c); ventrally with a thickened rounded lobe, which has a more sclerotized inner zone, arched and concave (Fig. 8d); sternite 9 dark brown, pentagonal in ventral view with posterolateral sides rounded (Fig. 8d), setose; mediuncus short, basally spatulated (Fig. 9c), two median lateral pointed processes; pseudopenis long, wide at the base, curved dorsad, often with a small apical loop, leaving from the abdomen; the base of pseudopenis protected by a weakly developed dorsal membranous dome ventrally connected to hypomeres; hypomeres elongated and narrow (Fig. 9c); gonarcus median lobe with two differentiated parts: dorsal one with apical region bent dorsad (Fig. 9a), tongue shaped, caudally projected, transversally elongated, entire surface with minute spinules, ventral area tongue shaped, curved, with a median ridge, and minute spinules, between these parts a semicircular window is present (Fig. 9b); gonarcus arms short and straight in lateral and ventral view (Fig. 9c); gonocoxite 9 elongated and thin, slightly sinuous, without spines (Figs. 9, 13c).</p><p>Remarks. In previous accounts (Reynoso-Velasco &amp; Contreras-Ramos 2008, 2009, 2010; Cancino-López et al. 2015) this species was cited as Plega sp.1.</p><p>Geographical distribution. Mexico: Guerrero (Atoyac and Chilpancingo de los Bravo), Jalisco (La Huerta), Morelos (Ayala, Puente de Ixtla, Tepalcingo, and Tlaquiltenango), Nayarit (Tepic), Oaxaca (San Juan Bautista Cuicatlán), Puebla (Jolalpan and Zapotitlán de las Salinas), and Veracruz (San Andrés Tuxtla).</p><p>Etymology. The species name refers to the prominent and strongly sclerotized spines on the posterior margin of the ectoprocts.</p><p>Biological notes. This new species was found in tropical dry forest, evergreen tropical forest, and xeric scrubland, in an altitudinal range between 92–1488 m. Adults have been collected from January through November. At Santiago Dominguillo, Oaxaca, several individuals were caught from January to April, which correspond to dry season.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F48793FFE7081FFF36FAB0FF5C7D8B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

According to Ohl (2004) the type specimen was deposited in the Navás Collection, of which a great part was housed in the Museo de Zoología of Barcelona after his death. Unfortunately, most of this collection was severely damaged during the Spanish Civil War, and a great amount of types were lost or destroyed (Monserrat 1985). In the list of types of the Navás Collection deposited at the Museo de Zoología of Barcelona published by Monserrat (1985), the type of P. variegata is not cited. Consequently, this specimen was probably destroyed. Because of insufficient information at this time to unravel the identity of this species, we opted to consider P. variegata as a nomen dubium and not to include it in the present taxonomic key.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F48793FFFC0800FF36FE6BFC137D56	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
