This paper is primarily based on collections in Tanzania and Ghana in 1990–1991 and 1991–1994, respectively. In all, 46 species of Chimarra were collected, 31 of them new species. All these species are illustrated or re-illustrated and described in the paper. Additionally, five species from Africa from collections in Illinois and Minnesota, four of them new, are included. This provided the incentive to review the species of Chimarra from the African subregion and assign the majority of them to species groups and subgroups. In the process, several species were synonymized. In all 147 valid species are recognized, of which 51 are treated in this paper. Two major species groups are recognized for Africa, the marginata Group and the georgensis Group. The former is based on the type species for the genus; this is the first formal characterization of this group, as distinct from other species groups in the subgenus. Mainland African species in the marginata Group mostly fall into four large species-diverse subgroups, but a number of smaller subgroups are also recognized. Membership in these subgroups is specified for the majority of African species and characters defining the subgroups informally discussed. The georgensis Group includes a single Asian species and nine previously described African species. They are assigned to two subgroups, one newly recognized in this paper. Several additional species were considered unassigned to subgroup within the georgensis Group. The majority of the new species described in this paper belong to the georgensis Group.

Mortoniella (Mortoniella) calovebora Blahnik and Armitage, new species Fig. 2 Diagnosis. This is a rather typical, but distinctive, species of the ���florica subgroup.��� Mortoniella calovebora is easily distinguished from other described species of the subgroup by the length and asymmetry of the apicoventral lobes of the inferior appendages (Fig. 2C). The asymmetry of the ventral lobes of the inferior appendages seems to be a consistent feature of this species and is a unique character within the genus. Description. Length of forewing: male 3.0��� 3.3 mm; female 3.2���3.3 mm. Forewing with forks I, II, and III present, hind wing with forks II and III. Spur formula 0:4:4. Overall color (in alcohol) light brown, anastamosis unpigmented, but otherwise not evidently marked. Male genitalia. Ventral process of segment VII laterally compressed, short, ventrally projecting, rounded apically, length slightly greater than width at base, process slightly retracted anterobasally. Segment IX nearly evenly rounded anterolaterally, length greatest midlaterally, posterolateral margin rounded dorsally, narrowing ventrally; segment deeply excised dorsally and ventrally, forming lateral lobes, separated dorsomesally by much less than �� width of segment. Tergum X relatively elongate, lateral margins subparallel, apically with short, subtriangular mesal projection; apicolateral lobes elongate, compressed, subacute, slightly mesally curved; ventrolateral lobes nearly obsolete; ventromesal lobes not evident. Inferior appendages without dorsolateral lobes, but with apicoventral lobes elongate, upturned, and asymmetrically developed, that of the right side narrower apically and more distinctly out-turned, both lobes acute apically. Mesal pockets of inferior appendage with apical processes short and weakly curved. Paramere appendage elongate, narrow, extending about same length as dorsal phallic spine, slightly widened preapically, widened apex with narrow, adpressed, scale-like spines. Dorsal phallic spine, as viewed laterally, undulate in contour, spine distinctly widened on ventral margin at about middle, ventral bulge articulating with dorsal margin of phallicata, apex acute, weakly upturned; in dorsal view (Fig. 2D), lightly widened in middle and preapically, apex acute. Phallicata moderately elongate, dorsal margin with broadly rounded, paired, dorsolateral projections, lateral margin with slightly produced, rounded and compressed projection. Endophallic membrane simple, with single prominent curved ventromesal spine; phallotremal spines absent. Female and immatures. Unknown. Holotype male (alcohol).

Protoptila totumas Blahnik and Armitage, new species Fig. 5 Diagnosis. Protoptila totumas is distinctive and unlikely to be confused with any other described species. The most distinctive and usefully diagnostic feature of this new species is the structure of the paramere appendages, which are relatively elongate and narrow and each possesses a corkscrew-like spiral at midlength, subtending and crossing over each other beneath the phallicata, with the apices dorsal to the phallicata. Although the exact structure is somewhat variable in the material examined, the symmetrical arrangement of the appendages, as in Fig. 5E, is probably the most common configura- tion. Other usefully diagnostic features include the structure of tergum X, which has relatively elongate, narrow lateral lobes, each with two acute mesal projections, one in the basal half of the lobe (not readily observed in lateral view), and the other preapically, and also the structure of the phallicata, which is relatively narrow and arched dorsally, as viewed laterally, but is distinctively bulged in its basal half, as viewed dorsally, and has acute apicolateral projections. Description. Length of forewing: male 3.2 mm. Forewing with forks I, II, and III present; hind wing with fork II only, wing narrow and acute apically, costal margin with pronounced invagination. Spur formula 0:4:4. Overall color (in alcohol) brown, anastamosis unpigmented, but otherwise not evidently marked. Male genitalia. Sternum VI process relatively prominent, posteriorly directed, slightly curved, longer than wide, apex subacute. Tergum VIII with row of elongate setae along posterior margin; sternum VIII densely setose with elongate setae, posterior margin distinctly produced, slightly curved upward, extending nearly as far as dorsolateral lobes of tergum X; as viewed ventrally, with ventral projection narrow, weakly and bluntly forked apically. Segment IX with anterior margin broadly rounded, sternum mesally produced into short, acute process, with single apical seta, posterolateral margin of segment IX without processes. Preanal appendages absent. Tergum X, as viewed laterally, with lateral lobes not obviously subsegmented, each lobe relatively elongate and narrow, downturned, forked preapically, ventral branch forming mesally directed, trianguloid projection with spine-like apex, dorsal branch extending as narrow, apically acute, finger-like projection; as viewed dorsally, with additional acute, mesal projection in basal half, not readily observable in lateral view. Phallobase dorsally with large, laterally compressed apodeme, ventrally with pair of short, rod-like, articulated appendages with membranous apices, appendages fitting into sclerotized pockets on ventral margin of phallobase. Phallicata, as viewed laterally, tubular, fused to phallobase, dorsally arched, slightly widened preapically; as viewed dorsally, with lateral margins distinctly rounded and widened in basal half, narrowing apically, preapically with acute, trianguloid, lateral projections on either side. Phallotremal sclerite forming curved, narrow, tube-like structure, upturned as viewed laterally. Parameres each with membranous basal structure and elongate, narrow, sclerotized paramere appendage, with a helical spiral past midlength; appendages apparently crossing over each other beneath phallicata and converging dorsally, apices relatively straight and acute.

Genus Protoptila This genus is considered the sister taxon to Mortoniella (Robertson and Holzenthal 2013). Both genera are characterized by having a pair of short appendages attached to the ventral margin of the phallobase, which engage with a hollowed receptacle on the mesal surface of the inferior appendages or phallic ensemble. This is a unique character, not otherwise found within the subfamily Protoptilinae. The genus has a number of distinctive apomorphies in its male genitalia, most distinctive of which are a ventral extension of sternum VIII beneath segment IX, and the structure of the phallic apparatus, which has an enlarged, blade-like apodeme basodorsally and an elongate and often arched phallicata, which is fused to the phallobase. Additionally, inferior appendages are generally absent or vestigial. Other characters, varying greatly among individual species, include the structure of the lateral lobes of tergum X and the structure of the paramere appendages. Nearly 100 species are currently known, making it the second largest genus in Protoptilinae (behind Mortoniella). Although the individual species are, in general, relatively easy to diagnose, because of the complexity and variability of structures of the genitalia, the genus as a whole has never been treated comparatively or comprehensively. Consequently, it is often difficult to determine relationships among species, or group of species. This is true of the species treated here, each of which is distinctive in its own right, but difficult to compare to other described species., Published as part of Blahnik, Roger J. & Armitage, Brian J., 2019, The Trichoptera of Panama.

Mortoniella (Mortoniella) yayas Blahnik and Armitage, new species Fig. 3 Diagnosis. This is another species of the ���florica subgroup��� of Mortoniella. The species is not particularly distinctive, differing from other species of the ���subgroup��� mostly by its own peculiar combination of characters. It is probably most closely related to M. pectinella Blahnik and Holzenthal, also from Panama, resembling that species in the structure of tergum X, particularly in its prominent, acute lateral lobes and broadly triangular mesal projection. In other details, however, it is quite different, lacking the pectinate apical projections on the paramere appendages of M. pectinella, and in having acute, rather than rounded, apices to the inferior appendages. Other characters useful in diagnosing the new species include the relatively narrow dorsolateral lobes of the phallicata, the narrow, concavely excavated apices of the paramere appendages, and the generally weakly inflected and posteriorly oriented apex of the dorsal phallic spine. Description. Length of forewing: male 3.5 mm. Forewing with forks I, II, and III present, hind wing with forks II and III. Spur formula 0:4:4. Overall color (in alcohol) brown, anastamosis unpigmented, but otherwise not evidently marked. Male genitalia. Ventral process of segment VII laterally compressed, short, ventrally projecting, rounded apically, length slightly greater than width at base, process not retracted anterobasally. Segment IX nearly evenly rounded anterolaterally, length greatest midlaterally, posterolateral margin slightly rounded and produced dorsally, narrowing ventrally; segment deeply excised dorsally and ventrally, forming lateral lobes, separated dorsomesally by much less than �� width of segment. Tergum X moderately elongate, lateral margins subparallel, apically with broad, subtriangular mesal projection, subequal in length to apicolateral lobes; apicolateral lobes subtriangular, distinctly sclerotized, compressed, acute apically; ventrolateral lobes nearly obsolete; ventromesal lobes not evident. Inferior appendages without dorsolateral lobes, apicoventral lobes posteriorly projecting, relatively short, narrow, acute apically. Mesal pockets of inferior appendage with apical processes, short and weakly curved. Paramere appendage elongate, narrow, extending about same length as dorsal phallic spine, extreme apex concavely excavated on ventral margin. Dorsal phallic spine, as viewed laterally, undulate in contour, distinctly widened on ventral margin at about middle, ventral bulge articulating with dorsal margin of phallicata, apex acute, posteriorly directed; spine, in dorsal view (Fig. 3D), slightly widened in middle, narrowing apically, apex acute. Phallicata moderately elongate, dorsal margin with relatively narrow, paired, dorsolateral projections, lateral margin without compressed projection, ventral margin, as viewed ventrally (Fig. 3C), with elongate, weakly rounded lateral projections. Endophallic membrane simple, with single prominent curved ventromesal spine; phallotremal spines absent. Female and immatures. Unknown. Holotype male (alcohol).
