Tomeophera parallela View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs 78–81 View Figs 78–86 , 93, 94 View Figs 87–94 )
Etymology. This species name is the Latin word “parallela ” (parallel), because its longitudinal venation is very parallel to the longitudinal axis of tegmen.
Type material. Holotype – female, PERU: Junin Department, Satipo Prov. , Rio Tambo Distr. , 6 km N
of Pichiguia Vill., protected area “Reserva Comunal Ashaninka”, 11.358244°S, 74.0320473°W, ~ 500 m, primary forest, at light, 14–23 November 2017, A. Gorochov, G. Irisov.
Description. Female (holotype). General appearance somewhat similar to that of T. cellulata sp. nov. but with following characteristic features: body colouration yellowish with greenish tinge on pronotum, tegmina and areas in distal parts of hind wings (in living condition, body colouration mainly light greenish), with light rose eyes, with two whitish yellow spots on lateral tegminal field ( Fig. 80 View Figs 78–86 ), and with transparent rest part of hind wings ( Fig. 81 View Figs 78–86 ); head and pronotum similar to those of this species but with upper rostral tubercle slightly narrower (dorsal view) in distal part ( Fig. 79 View Figs 78–86 ), and with pronotal lateral lobe having posterior edge almost vertically straight (vs. strongly convex under humeral notch; for comparison see Figs 78 and 83 View Figs 78–86 ); tegmina very long, with almost straight costal and anal edges, with costal area having two long longitudinal pseudoveins not far from Sc and one shorter pseudovein near middle part of costal edge, and with five longitudinal parallel branches between radial area and anal tegminal edge (subanal branch somewhat sinuate; Fig. 80 View Figs 78–86 ); hind wings with distal half of costal part as in Fig. 81 View Figs 78–86 ; last abdominal tergite posteriorly truncate; epiproct and paraprocts also similar to those of T. cellulata sp. nov., but epiproct longer and distinctly protruding beyond cercal apices; cerci unspecialized, gradually narrowing to thin distal part ( Fig. 94 View Figs 87–94 ); genital plate transverse (very short), with roundly angular posteromedian part practically lacking any apical notch but having ventromedian keel-like convexity ( Fig. 93 View Figs 87–94 ); ovipositor rather long and barely arcuate, without any denticles along dorsal and ventral edges ( Fig. 94 View Figs 87–94 ).
Male unknown.
Length (mm). Body 21.5; body with wings 43.0; pronotum 4.4; tegmina 31.0; hind femora 17.5; ovipositor 9.7.
Comparison. The new species is most similar to T. modesta Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1891 in the costal tegminal edge almost straight (not strongly convex) and in the presence of only two long longitudinal pseudoveins in the costal tegminal area, but it is distinguished from the latter species by the upper rostral tubercle narrower (dorsal view) and longer (in T. modesta , this tubercle somewhat not reaching apices of antennal scapes), branches in the distal half of lateral field (located between the radial area and anal tegminal edge) slightly more parallel to the longitudinal axis of tegmen, and ovipositor without any denticles on the dorsal and ventral edges (at least from T. m. angusta Gorochov, 2015). From T. gladiatrix Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1878 , the new species differs in the ovipositor distinctly longer (in T. gladiatrix , hind femur is approximately 2.5 times as long as ovipositor; but in the new species, this ratio is not more than 2); from T. ovatipennis , in the tegmina distinctly longer; and from all the other congeners, in the costal tegminal area clearly less convex laterally and having two long longitudinal pseudoveins (only T. ucayali Gorochov, 2015 has two long longitudinal pseudoveins in this area, but they are situated near the costal tegminal edge in T. ucayali and less far from Sc in the new species; Fig. 80 View Figs 78–86 ).
