The other Hydroptilini genera are more widespread across several biogeographical regions and include 2 large cosmopolitan genera, Hydroptila Dalman with about 400 described species and Oxyethira with about 200. Orthotrichiini is a small tribe of 3 genera, of which Orthotrichia is cosmopolitan and contains over 150 species. Stactobiini is a heterogeneous assemblage of genera endemic to a single region or more broadly distributed across several regions; Stactobia is the most species rich with about 150 species found only in the Old World. Nielsen (1948) studied the biology of Hydroptilidae. Hydroptilid larvae are highly diverse in form, habitat, and feeding behavior. Although most construct cases of silk or sand, some construct flat, fixed shelters, while others remain free-living until pupation. Many genera remain unknown in the larval stage. The family is the terra incognita of Trichoptera (Flint 1992 b). Rhyacophilidae: Rhyacophilidae is a relatively large family, originally established by Stephens (1836). At one time the family included also Glossosomatidae and Hydrobiosidae and other taxa, but its definition has progressively become more restricted. Evolutionary relationships of the family were discussed by Ross (1956) and the family was the subject of a large revision by Schmid (1970). The family is predominantly north temperate and is found in North America, Europe, and Asia, but also extends into India and the tropical areas of southeastern Asia. Currently most of the diversity is included in a single genus, Rhyacophila Pictet, the largest genus in Trichoptera, with over 700 species and additional ones regularly being described. In addition to the landmark works of Ross and Schmid on Rhyacophila, Prather and Morse (2001) studied the phylogeny of the R. invaria group from eastern North America and Mey (1999 b) investigated the biogeography of Southeast Asian members of the genus. Other genera include Himalopsyche Banks (ca. 50 species, predominantly in the eastern Palearctic and Oriental regions, but with 1 species from western North America), Philocrena Lepneva (1 species from Georgia, western Palearctic), and Fansipangana Mey (a single species recently described from Vietnam). The family is 1 of 2 (the other being Hydrobiosidae) that includes species that are free-living and predaceous as larvae, constructing a domed pupal chamber of rocks at maturity. As the etymology of the family name indicates, the larvae frequent cool, fast flowing rivers and streams. Larvae in the genus Himalopsyche, and some in the genus Rhyacophila, possess abdominal and thoracic gills, quite different from those in Integripalpia or Hydropsychidae. INTEGRIPALPIA PLENITENTORIA Apataniidae: This is a northern and montane group found in North America, Europe, and Asia. The family names dates to Wallengren (1886), but for most of its history it was included as a subfamily of Limnephilidae. Wiggins (1996) treated the group as a distinct family and subsequent workers have accepted this designation. There are nearly 200 species in 18 genera, divided into 2 subfamilies. The Apataniinae contains the largest genus, Apatania Kolenati (nearly 100 species, Holarctic), as well as Apataniana Mosely (Palearctic, Oriental), Apatidelia Mosely (China), 4 monotypic genera: Talgara Mey (Kazakhstan), Radema Martynov (Russia), Thamastes Hagen (Siberia), Proradema Mey (Siberia), and 5 small genera endemic to Lake Baikal: Baicalina Martynov (5 species), Protobaicalina Ivanov (4 species), Protoradema Ivanov (2 species), Baicalinella Martynov (monotypic), and Baicaloides Martynov (monotypic). The subfamily Moropsychinae contains the genera Moropsyche Banks (30 species, East Palearctic and Oriental), and Notania Mosely (5 species, Oriental). Four genera, Allomyia Banks (Nearctic and eastern Palearctic, 23 species), Manophylax Wiggins (Nearctic and eastern Palearctic, 6 species), Moselyana Denning (Oregon, monotypic), and Pedomoecus Ross (Pacific northwest of North America, monotypic), form a monophyletic group (Gall 1994) separate from either subfamily. Apataniid larvae construct cases of small rock pieces, although Manophylax larvae also add plant pieces to the upper surface (Wiggins 2004). Corbet (1966) documented parthenogenesis in some species of Apatania. Larvae occur in cool running waters, but at high elevations and extreme northern latitudes, some species of Apatania are found in lakes. Most larvae graze periphyton from rocks with scraper mandibles. Some species also occur in hygropetric habitats, some of which are dry for much of the year. The larvae of Moselyana are found in spring seepages, and are detritivores with toothed mandibles. Brachycentridae: This is a Northern Hemisphere family found in both the Old and New Worlds. Ulmer (1903) originally established this group as a subfamily of Sericostomatidae. It now contains 6 genera and a little over 100 species. Three of these genera are monotypic: Adicrophleps Flint (Nearctic), Amiocentrus Ross (Nearctic), and Dolichocentrus Martynov (southeastern Siberia). Eobrachycentrus Wiggins (Japan and western North America) contains only half a dozen species. Brachycentrus Curtis (ca. 30 species) and Micrasema McLachlan (ca. 75 species) are both widespread across the Holarctic and Oriental regions. Larvae construct cases from plant or rock materials, and some species use silk alone for part of the case. Several genera build 4 -sided cases. The family is ecologically diverse. They inhabit running waters, but may be found in slow-flowing marshy channels. Some genera feed on aquatic moss; others are filter-feeders. Some North American species of Brachycentrus can be found in thermal streams with temperatures as high as 34 °C that smell strongly of hydrogen sulfide (Wiggins 2004). Goeridae: This is a widely distributed family, found on all continents except South America and Australia. Ulmer (1903) originally described this group as a subfamily of Sericostomatidae. Flint (1960) and other North American workers considered it a subfamily of Limnephilidae, but other authors either always considered it a separate family (Schmid 1980) or elevated the group to its place as a separate family (Wiggins 1996). The Goeridae are divided into 3 subfamilies. Goerinae Ulmer contains most of the genera, each with 1 or only a few species: Archithremma Martynov (central eastern Siberia), Gastrocentrella Ulmer (Sumatra), Silonella Fischer (France, Spain), Gastrocentrides Ulmer (Burma, Indonesia), Goeracea Denning and Goerita Ross (North America), and Lithax McLachlan (widespread across the western Palearctic). Silo Curtis is the second largest genus with over a dozen western Palearctic species. The largest genus Goera Stephens (ca. 130 species) is found in all biogeographic regions except the Neotropical, but with scant representation in the Afrotropics (1 species in southern Africa) and Australasia (2 species from the southwest Pacific). Larcasinae Navás contains 1 genus, Larcasia Navás (6 species, Palearctic and Oriental); and Lepaniinae Wiggins contains only 1 species endemic to northwestern North America, Lepania cascada Ross. Parker (1998) reviewed the genus Goerita, established its monophyly, and discussed the phylogenetic relationships among its 3 species. Larvae of Goeridae construct cases entirely of rock fragments; some genera incorporate larger rock fragments laterally. Most larvae live in cool running waters and are grazers on periphyton. Lepania larvae are detritivores in spring seepages (Wiggins 1973 b). Archithremma ulachensis Martynov is unusual in having a terrestrial pupa (Levanidova & Vshivkova 1984). Kokiriidae: McFarlane (1964) erected the plectrotarsid subfamily Kokiriinae when he described Kokiria miharo from New Zealand. Subsequently, Ross (1967) raised it to family status and included the Chilean species Rhynchopsyche fusca Schmid (originally described in Brachycentridae) in the new family. Neboiss (1974) described Tanjistomella verna, the first record of the family in Australia; in that work he also referred the New Caledonian genus Mecynostomella Kimmins (originally placed in Sericostomatidae) to Kokiriidae. Neboiss later described 2 more Australasian genera, Taskiria and Taskiropsyche. Flint et al. (1999) considered Rhynchopsyche fusca a junior synonym of Pangullia faziana Navás (originally described in Limnephilidae). Johanson (2003 b) recently revised Mecynostomella and nearly doubled the described species diversity of Kokiriidae, so that it now consists of 15 species described from New Zealand, New Caledonia, Chile, and Australia. The larvae are predatory, and live in sandy deposits of small streams and lakes. Larval cases are constructed from sand, and are dorsoventrally depressed and flanged around the edge. This family has been considered by various authors to be closely allied with either limnephiloid or leptoceroid families, in the latter case possibly because of the similarity of the larval cases to those of molannids and some Ceraclea (Leptoceridae). However, the characters proposed by Frania and Wiggins (1997) to support a close relationship with Molannidae have not held up to re-examination (Prather 2002), nor are they corroborated in recent molecular studies (Holzenthal et al. 2007, Kjer et al. 2001, 2002). Lepidostomatidae: This family is widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and extends southward to Panama, New Guinea, and the Afrotropical region. It was originally described by Ulmer (1903) as a subfamily of Sericostomatidae. It is divided into 2 subfamilies. The nominotypical subfamily contains 3 genera and most of the species: Hummeliella Forsslund is a monotypic genus from China; Lepidostoma Rambur contains most of the diversity in the family (ca. 380 species; Afrotropical, Australasian, Palearctic, and Nearctic); and Paraphlegopteryx Ulmer (ca. 20 species) is widespread in the East Palearctic and Oriental regions. The subfamily Theliopsychinae Weaver, 1993 contains 4 genera: Crunoecia McLachlan and Martynomyia Fischer are West Palearctic genera with only a handful of species each; Theliopsyche Banks is a Nearctic genus with half a dozen species; and Zephyropsyche Weaver is a small genus (4 species) from South and Southeast Asia. Larval cases are generally square in cross section and constructed of quadrate leaf or bark pieces. Some species build cylindrical cases of sand grains as early instars and switch to 4 -sided cases as they mature; a few retain the sand grain cases throughout larval development. Larvae are generally inhabitants of cool streams and springs, but they may also occur along the shorelines of lakes. They are primarily detritivores. Weaver (1988) provided a synopsis of the North American species and a review of the world species (Weaver 2002), where he synonymized several genera, formerly separated by secondary sexual characters of the male, with Lepidostoma. Myers and Sperling (2002) looked at the relationships of the subgenera of Lepidostoma, based on mitochondrial DNA sequence data. Limnephilidae: This is the largest family in the Plenitentoria, with approximately 900 described species. At higher latitudes and elevations, it is the dominant group in much of the Northern Hemisphere. The family was first established by Kolenati (1848) and includes species described by Linnaeus in Systema Naturae, 10 th ed. (Table 1). Schmid (1955) resolved the family into its current classification (Table 4), with refinements by Wiggins and colleagues (Vineyard & Wiggins 1988, Wiggins 1973 a, Wiggins et al. 1985). The family is divided into 4 subfamilies, Dicosmoecinae Schmid, Drusinae Banks, Limnephilinae Kolenati, and Pseudostenophylacinae Schmid. The Dicosmoecinae, with fewer than 100 described species, are considered the most primitive of the limnephilid subfamilies, and include the only Southern Hemisphere taxa in the family; of its 19 genera, 7 are endemic to South America and 1, Archaeophylax Kimmins, is endemic to Australia (Wiggins 2002). The Drusinae are restricted to the Palearctic region. Of the 8 genera in this subfamily, only Drusus Stephens contains more than half a dozen species; many of these are micro-endemics. Recent molecular studies have questioned the generic classification of Drusinae (Pauls et al. 2007). The nominotypical subfamily contains over 60 genera, divided into 4 tribes. Chaetopterygini Hagen, with 10 genera, are a Palearctic group with about 60 species. Chilostigmini Schmid are a group of 11 small genera, with approximately 40 Old and New World species. The tribe Limnephilini Kolenati (21 genera, ca. 300 species) includes most of the lentic genera of the Limnephilidae; it also includes Limnephilus Leach, the most species-diverse genus, with nearly 200 described species widely distributed across the Holarctic region and as far south as Central America; 2 anomalous genera, Sphagnophylax Wiggins and Winchester, and Thermophylax Nimmo have been tentatively assigned to the Limnephilini, but this remains in some dispute (Morse 2006). The Stenophylacini Schmid (ca. 200 species) is primarily Old World in distribution, although 4 of its 23 genera are endemic to North America; 1 genus Mesophylax McLachlan, is found in Ethiopia and Arabia (Malicky 1998, 1999). Pseudostenophylacinae is a small subfamily of 5 genera and about 100 species (Schmid 1990), with predominantly Oriental and Asian Palearctic distribution; the largest genus Pseu

Phylloicus tricalcaratus (Ulmer) Phylloicus tricalcaratus (Ulmer, 1905b:37) [Type locality: Brazil; ZIUH; male; in Homoeoplectron]. NOMEN DUBIUM According to the curator at the Zoologisches Institut der Universität at Halle, the type of P. tricalcaratus was probably destroyed during or shortly after World War II. I found one specimen identified by Ulmer as P. tricalcaratus in the Museum für Naturkunde of HumboldtUniversität, Berlin, but it consists only of a head, anterior thorax, and one forewing, and is quite inadequate for identifying the species. The illustration in the original description included only the wings, and the description itself is too general for species discrimination. Material examined.

NOMEN DUBIUM Müller did not designate type material for this species, nor did he provide any illustration. His original reference to the species P. medius states only that it has a Tibial spur formula — of 2,4,4. I found no material identified as P. medius, and must consider this a nomen dubium.

Phylloicus cordatus, new species Figs. 36, 37 This species is distinguished by the wing pattern, a distinctive pattern of orange and dark brown. In dorsal view, the brown patches on the posteromesal area are heartshaped, and thus the name of this species. The abdominal coremata are short, broad, and singlelobed (Fig. 36F). The female specimen is teneral, so I was only able to measure wing length for the single male. The preanal appendages of this specimen are broken, but appear to be similar to those of P. elegans and hansoni, being covered with long fine setae and becoming slightly wider apically (as in Figs. 45B, 55B). Adult. Forewing length 8.4 mm, n = 2. Head golden brown. Maxillary palps golden brown, covered with golden and dark brown setae.

Phylloicus trichothylax, new species Fig. 103 Phylloicus trichothylax is known only from a single teneral male, and thus details of coloration are difficult to identify and the forewings are too twisted for accurate measurement. It is distinguished by the abdominal coremata, which consist of a pair of invaginated membranous pouches containing long setae and a single, eversible, digitate membranous lobe (Fig. 103F), and by the long digitate basodorsal process of tergum X (Fig. 103A, B). Adult. Head golden brown, with dorsomesal crest of golden brown setae. Maxillary palps dark brown. Antenna golden brown. Dorsal pterothorax golden brown; ventrolateral thorax golden brown.

Phylloicus superbus is not well known. Although the type series consists of many individuals, they are all from two localities on a single mountain and probably represent a single population. No females were collected with them. Except in size, they greatly resemble P. cubanus, of which the specimens I examined all were collected at lower elevation. Thus, P. superbus may represent only an extreme variant of P. cubanus. However, the collections I examined were inadequate for assessing the intraspecific variability of P. cubanus, and consequently inadequate for evaluating the status of P. cubanus. Adult. Forewing length 10.812.3 mm, n = 19. Head golden brown. Maxillary palps dark brown. Antenna twice forewing length; dark brown, with narrow patches of pale sensilla on anteromesal surface of each flagellomere. Dorsal pterothorax golden brown; ventrolateral thorax golden.

Forewing flat; dark brown; with two transverse bands; proximal band orange, extending from anterior to posterior wing margin; distal band orange, beginning at anterior wing margin, at least 1/2 width of wing; basal cells without setae, membrane iridescent (Fig. 115). Hind wing basal brush absent. Male. Preterminalic abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Corematic structures absent, terga IIIV unmodified, without membranous lobes or sclerotized processes. Sternum VII with short, acute anteromesal process. Sternum VIII similar to anterior sterna, sternum IX not elongate.

As suggested by its name, P. magnus is probably the largest species of Phylloicus. It is also distinguished by the long coxopodite, the notched apex of tergum X, and the short preanal appendage. The female specimen described here is circumstantially associated. Like the holotype of P. magnus, it is very large. The only Colombian species large enough to be conspecific with this female is P. magnus. The description of the adult is based on this female specimen, which is much less rubbed than the male. Adult. Forewing length 16.218.5 mm, n = 2. Head chestnut brown, with dorsomesal crest of dark brown setae. Maxillary palps dark brown, covered with dark brown setae.

Phylloicus elegans Hogue and Denning Figs. 43, 44, 109 Phylloicus elegans Hogue and Denning, 1983 in Denning et al. 1983:184 [Type locality: Panama, Canal Zone, Barro Colorado Island; WSU; male]. — Flint 1991:98 [male, distribution]. The wing pattern of P. elegans (Fig. 109) is identical to that of P. lituratus. However, the male abdomen of P. elegans is very distinctive: tergum IV has distinctively shaped posteriorly projecting lateral sclerites and multilobed lateral coremata (Fig. 43F). The females of the two species are indistinguishable, and as several series from different localities contain males of both P. elegans and P. lituratus, all determinations of females are tentative. Hybrids may occur; this is discussed under P. lituratus. Adult. Forewing length 10.412.1 mm, n = 106. Head chestnut brown. Maxillary palps dark brown. Antenna twice forewing length; chestnut brown, with narrow patches of pale sensilla on anteromesal surface of each flagellomere. Dorsal pterothorax chestnut brown; ventrolateral thorax golden. Femora golden; foretibiae dark brown; mesotibiae dark brown; metatibiae dark brown; foretarsi dark brown; mesotarsi white proximally, dark distally; metatarsi dark brown. Metathoracic leg of male with posterior fringe of long setae, setae dark. Tibial spur formula 2,4,4. Forewing flat; dark brown; with two transverse bands; proximal band ivory, reaching posterior wing margin, at least 1/2 width of wing, an inverted Vshape; distal band ivory, beginning at anterior wing margin, at least 1/2 width of wing; with two basal stripes, ivory (Fig. 109).

Tergum IX with mesal ridge extending full length of segment; posterior margin with round narrow mesal projection (Fig. 43B); lateral ridge present; dorsal pleural setae approximately 4, ventral pleural setae approximately 2 (Fig. 43A). Preanal appendage at least 11/2 times length of tergum X, widest apically, setae filamentous, longer than appendage (Fig. 43A, B). Tergum X without basal lobes; basodorsal process short and digitate; basolateral processes short, length less than or equal to diameter; apex, in lateral view, truncate, in dorsal view, entire or notched, notch shallow; with paired dorsolateral ridges (Fig. 43A, B). Harpago rounded; peglike setae many, apical (Fig. 43A, C). Phallotremal sclerites average size, longest dimension less than diameter of phallobase; dorsal sclerite ovoid, in dorsal view horseshoeshaped (Fig. 43D, E). Female. Preterminal abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Sternum VII with short pointed anteromesal process.

This species is known only from the badly rubbed lectotype male and one paralectotype male, which is missing an abdomen. The modifications of the male abdomen are extremely elaborate in this species. It is similar to a number of other species, but is distinguished by the shape of the lateral sclerite of tergum IV, the arrangement and number of lobes of the coremata (Fig. 99F), and the shape of sternum VIII (Fig. 99C). The description of color features is based on the paralectotype. Adult. Forewing length 11.6 mm, n = 2. Head chestnut brown. Maxillary palps chestnut brown. Antenna chestnut brown, with narrow patches of pale sensilla on anteromesal surface of each flagellomere. Dorsal pterothorax chestnut brown; ventrolateral thorax chestnut brown. Legs chestnut brown.

Phylloicus abdominalis (Ulmer) Figs. 4, 5, 9, 10, 117 Phylloicus abdominalis (Ulmer, 1905b:34) [Original type locality: “Areas,” probably in Santa Catarina, Brazil; type destroyed; male; in Homoeoplectron]. — Ulmer 1913: 398 [distribution]. NEOTYPE: BRAZIL, Santa Catarina, Itajai, Müller, male, (MCZ; UMSP000067339) The type of P. abdominalis, stated by Ulmer to be deposited at Halle, was, according to the curator there, destroyed during or shortly after World War II. Ulmer’s description and illustration refer to a specimen from “Areas.” This name is likely a variant spelling of “Areis,” which is a common placename in Brazil. The specimen likely came to Ulmer from Müller, who collected in the state of Santa Catarina. The only other reference to this species is in Ulmer’s 1913 paper, where he mentions a male specimen in his collection from the province of Misiones, Argentina. I was not able to find this specimen in any of the European collections that received Ulmer’s personal collection; I have not seen anything from Argentina that is conspecific with P. abdominalis, and the specimen from Misiones is likely to have been P. pirapo, new species. Ulmer’s illustration of P. abdominalis is very poor, but does show modifications to abdominal tergum IV that include posterior processes and mesal coremata. His description clearly describes these structures. The description is sufficient to eliminate most known forms of Phylloicus, but several species still fit his description. The only specimen from Santa Catarina that fits this description was found among the paralectotypes of P. major, which lacks any abdominal modifications or coremata. The specimen with the abdominal structures also differs from the lectotype and the other male paralectotype of P. major in having a white spot on the forewing, marking the nygma. In addition to this male specimen, among the P. major paralectotypes are two females and a specimen lacking its abdomen, all with the white spot on the forewing. The specimen missing its abdomen is labeled “ Phylloicus abdominalis Ulmer ” in what appears to be Ulmer’s own handwriting. As P. abdominalis cannot be discriminated on the basis of Ulmer’s description alone, to ensure taxonomic stability I am designating a neotype here. Phylloicus abdominalis is distinguished by the following characteristics: a small patch of white setae on the forewing marks the location of the nygma; the mesal coremata are bifurcate, the more mesal lobe long and bare except for a small patch of setae basally, the lateral lobe short and setose; the lateral coremata are threelobed, the dorsalmost lobe with spicules, anterior lobe short, and the posterior lobe long and cylindrical; the lateral sclerite of tergum IV is a simple, straight flattened process (Fig. 9F). Adult. Forewing length 10.913.7 mm, n = 26. Head golden brown, setal warts pale. Maxillary palps golden brown, covered with dark brown setae. Antennae twice forewing length; dark brown, with narrow patches of pale sensilla on anteromesal surface of each flagellomere. Dorsal pterothorax golden brown; ventrolateral thorax golden. Femora golden; tibiae dark brown; foretarsi white proximally, dark distally; mesotarsi white proximally, dark distally; metatarsi dark brown. Metathoracic leg of male with posterior fringe of long setae, setae dark. Tibial spur formula 2,4,4. Forewing flat; dark brown; with two transverse bands; proximal band white, extending from anterior to posterior wing margin; distal band white, beginning at anterior wing margin, at least 1/2 width of wing; with two basal stripes, golden; with small white spot marking nygma (Fig. 117). Hind wing basal brush present in male. Male. Preterminalic abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Corematic structures present. Tergum IV with paired posterior processes and paired lateral sclerites, mesal coremata and lateral coremata; posterior process short, rounded; lateral sclerite narrowed apically; lateral coremata with basal globose lobes and long tubular posterior lobe; mesal coremata bilobed, mesal lobe setose basally, lateral lobe covered with setae. Tergum V without sclerotized modifications (Fig. 9F). Sternum VII with short, acute anteromesal process. Sternum VIII enclosing base of elongate sternum IX; posteromesal process notched, notch deep and round or narrow and parallelsided (Fig. 9A, C). Tergum IX without mesal ridge; posterior margin with round narrow mesal projection (Fig. 9B); lateral ridge absent; dorsal pleural setae approximately 6, ventral pleural setae absent (Fig. 9A). Preanal appendage at least 11/2 times length of tergum X, widest apically, setae filamentous, longer than appendage (Fig. 9A, B). Tergum X without basal lobes; basodorsal process short and digitate; basolateral processes of varying length and often asymmetrical, or absent; apex, in lateral view, rounded, in dorsal view, notched, notch shallow (Fig. 9A, B). Harpago short, rounded; peglike setae many, apical (Fig. 9A, C). Phallic endotheca with paired basolateral lobes, basolateral lobes tapered apically; phallotremal sclerites average size, longest dimension less than diameter of phallobase; dorsal sclerite ovoid, in dorsal view horseshoeshaped (Fig. 9D, E). Female. Preterminal abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Sternum VII with short pointed anteromesal process. Tergum VIII without posterolateral brush; sternum VIII with shallow posteromesal notch, or posterior margin entire; sternum VIII (Fig. 10C). Tergum IX without mesal ridge (Fig. 10B). Sternum IX anterior and posterior lobes darkly sclerotized and striate, with patch of lightly sclerotized cuticle lateral to vaginal opening (Fig. 10A). Tergum X appendage shorter than mesal lobe, base indistinct, apex oblique; mesal lobe lightly sclerotized; digitate lateral processes length approximately equal diameter (Fig. 10B). Sternum X with patches of short fine setae posterolaterally to anal opening (Fig. 10A).

Phylloicus lituratus Banks Figs. 61, 62 Phylloicus lituratus Banks, 1920:350 [Type locality: Colombia, Mariquito; MCZ; male]. — Flint 1967:19 [male]. — Denning et al. 1983:182 [redescription]. Phylloicus “species 1" Flint, 1991:98. Phylloicus priapulus Denning and Hogue, 1983 in Denning et al. 1983:187 [Type locality: Costa Rica, Puntarenas Province, 1.8 miles west of Rincón, Osa Peninsula; LACM; male]. NEW SYNONYM. This species exhibits a range of minor variation across its distribution and within populations. This variation may indicate the presence of more than one species, but although I have examined many specimens from a broad geographic area, I am unable to find consistent linkage of variation among characters and therefore am treating this as a single species. The types of P. lituratus and priapulus represent the extremes of morphology for tergum X and its processes, but intermediate morphologies are easily found within series. For this reason, I am synonymizing these two species. Phylloicus lituratus is distinguished by the wing pattern (as in Fig. 109), the lack of abdominal coremata, and preanal appendages longer than tergum X (Fig. 61A, B). A few specimens appear to be hybrids, probably with P. elegans. The wing pattern is identical to both P. elegans and lituratus; male terminalia are consistent with other P. lituratus specimens, but there is a tiny eversible membranous lobe in the IVth abdominal pleuron. The elaborate modifications of the P. elegans IVth abdominal segment are absent, however. Within a given series of specimens, the presence of this lobe is inconsistent, and for this reason I believe these specimens may represent a spatial or temporal hybrid zone. As discussed under P. elegans, the females of P. elegans and P. lituratus are indistinguishable, and therefore all determinations are tentative. Adult. Forewing length 10.412.1 mm, n = 95. Head chestnut brown. Maxillary palps dark brown. Antenna twice forewing length; chestnut brown, with narrow patches of pale sensilla on anteromesal surface of each flagellomere.

Hind wing basal brush present in male, light brown. Male. Preterminalic abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Corematic structures absent, terga IIIV unmodified, without membranous lobes or sclerotized processes. Sternum VII with short, acute anteromesal process.

Phylloicus llaviuco, new species Fig. 63 This species is known only from a single male, with broken antennae and wings badly rubbed. Thus, wing ornamentation and antennal length are incompletely known. The phallic endotheca is not fully everted, so I am unable to describe the membranous lobes. This species is similar in size and wing coloration to P. magnus; however, the male genitalia are distinctly different. Phylloicus llaviuco is distinguished by the long digitate basodorsal process of tergum X, and the absence of abdominal coremata. Adult. Forewing length 16.2 mm, n = 1. Head chestnut brown, with dorsomesal crest of dark brown setae. Maxillary palps golden brown, covered with dark brown setae. Antenna dark brown, with narrow patches of pale sensilla on anteromesal surface of each flagellomere. Dorsal pterothorax chestnut brown; ventrolateral thorax golden brown. Legs golden brown. Metathoracic leg of male with posterior fringe of long setae, setae pale. Tibial spur formula 2,4,4. Forewing flat; dark brown; with color patches; with golden setae at chord, in patch distal to crossvein Cu, and marking vein A 3; with small golden spots marking nygma and thyridium. Hind wing basal brush present in male, dark brown. Male. Preterminalic abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Corematic structures absent, terga IIIV unmodified, without membranous lobes or sclerotized processes. Sternum VII without anteromesal process. Sternum VIII enclosing base of elongate sternum IX, or similar to anterior sterna, sternum IX not elongate; posteromesal process absent and posterior of segment semimembranous (Fig. 63A, C). Tergum IX with mesal ridge extending full length of segment; posterior margin with round narrow mesal projection (Fig. 63B); lateral ridge present; dorsal pleural setae absent, ventral pleural setae approximately 15 (Fig. 63A); sternum IX (Fig. 63C). Preanal appendage shorter than tergum X, but greater than 2/3 length, widest near base, setae long, but not filamentous or longer than appendage (Fig. 63A, B). Tergum X without basal lobes; basodorsal process long and digitate; basolateral processes absent; apex, in lateral view, truncate, in dorsal view, entire (Fig. 63A, B). Harpago rounded; peglike setae few, apical (Fig. 63A, C).

Phylloicus nigripennis (Banks) Figs. 76, 77 Phylloicus nigripennis (Banks, 1900:256) [Type locality: Mexico, Puebla, Santa Maria; MCZ; female; in Heteroplectron]. — Flint 1967:17 [illustration of male, as synonym of aeneus]. latus (Navás, 1924:83) [Type locality: Costa Rica; MNHNP; male; as Macronema latum]. — Holzenthal 1988:53, 71 [as synonym of aeneus]. NEW SYNONYM sagittosa (Ross, 1951:72) [Type locality: Mexico, Lower California, Todos Santos; CAS; male; in Notiomyia]. — Flint 1967:17 [as synonym of aeneus]. NEW SYNONYM Although Banks described Heteroplectron nigripennis from a female type, a male apparently from the same series, collected in Puebla, Mexico, exists. Both these specimens are in good condition, and have very dark, uniformly colored wings. Tergum VIII of the female type is bare of setal tufts. Although the male terminalia of P. aeneus and P. nigripennis are very similar, coremata are not present in P. nigripennis. As in P. aeneus, the apical third of the P. nigripennis forewing folds obliquely toward the midline (as in Fig. 2). The head and thorax of these specimens is orange and the abdomen is black. In males of P. nigripennis abdominal tergites II and III have a distinctive papillate surface, which is absent in the other species. Based on these differences, I am resurrecting nigripennis from synonymy with aeneus. The holotypes of Macronema latum and Notiomyia sagittosa are males, the former from Costa Rica; the latter from Baja California. The wings of both are quite faded, but in size, body coloration, and abdominal morphology, they are consistent with the males of P. nigripennis. I have examined many additional specimens from Costa Rica and am confident that those populations are conspecific with P. nigripennis populations in central/eastern Mexico. However, the only specimens from Baja I have been able to examine are the type and paratypes of Notiomyia sagittosa, all of which are badly faded. Because color cannot be accurately assessed, and because of the seemingly disjunct distribution, I am less confident that these are conspecific with P. nigripennis. Nonetheless, in the specimens available to me, there are no characters other than distribution with which to discriminate a Baja species. The male illustrated is a specimen from the MCZ, with collection labels identical to those on the female type of P. nigripennis. Adult. Forewing length 8.2 10 mm, n = 66. Head orange. Maxillary palps dark brown or black. Antenna twice forewing length; black, with narrow patches of pale sensilla on anteromesal surface of each flagellomere, with longer setae proximally. Prothorax orange; dorsal pterothorax orange; ventrolateral thorax dark brown, or black. Legs dark brown, or black. Metathoracic leg of male without posterior fringe. Tibial spur formula 2,4,3. Forewing apical third folded obliquely toward midline; dark brown, or black; without colored markings. Hind wing basal brush present in male. Male. Preterminalic abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Terga II and III with papillate sculpturing of surface. Corematic structures absent, terga IIIV unmodified, without membranous lobes or sclerotized processes. Sternum VII with short, acute anteromesal process. Sternum VIII similar to anterior sterna, sternum IX not elongate. Tergum IX without mesal ridge; posterior margin with irregular mesal projection; dorsal surface covered with fine pilosity (Fig. 76B); lateral ridge absent; dorsal pleural setae approximately 10, ventral pleural setae approximately 5 (Fig. 76A); sternum IX with paired mesolateral ridges; sternum IX (Fig. 76C). Preanal appendage shorter than tergum X, but greater than 2/3 length, narrowly elliptic, setae long, but not filamentous or longer than appendage (Fig. 76A, B). Tergum X sagittate basally; basodorsal process broad and setose; basolateral processes absent; apex, in lateral view, acute, in dorsal view, notched, notch triangular; with paired setose lateral processes (Fig. 76A, B). Harpago slightly tapered; peglike setae few, apical (Fig. 76A, C). Phallic endotheca with paired basolateral lobes, basolateral lobes digitate; phallotremal sclerites average size, longest dimension less than diameter of phallobase; dorsal sclerite ovoid, in dorsal view horseshoeshaped (Fig. 76D, E). Female. Preterminal abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Sternum VII with short pointed anteromesal process. Tergum VIII without posterolateral brush; sternum VIII cleft posteromesally to anterior ridge; sternum VIII (Fig. 77C). Tergum IX with very short mesal ridge (Fig. 77B). Sternum IX anterior and posterior lobes darkly sclerotized and striate, with deep sublateral invaginations (Fig. 77A). Tergum X appendage longer than mesal lobe, base marked by faint suture line, apex triangular; mesal lobe lightly sclerotized; digitate lateral processes absent (Fig. 77B). Sternum X without setae in membrane (Fig. 77A).

Phylloicus bromeliarum Müller Figs. 32, 33 Phylloicus bromeliarum Müller, 1880a:131 [Type locality: Brazil, Santa Catharina [sic]; no type nor type depository designated; case]. — Ulmer 1906:56 [female]; 1913:398 [male, distribution]; 1955:418 [larva]. Lectotype: BRAZIL, Santa Catarina, Blumenau, 26°56'0”S, 49°3'0"W, Müller, male (MCZ; UMSP000067618). A type series of one male and one female, labeled by Müller as Phylloicus bromeliarum, was deposited in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. These specimens are from Blumenau, Santa Catarina. The male retains only a hind wing; the female retains all four wings, and a pattern is clearly visible. This pattern was described by Ulmer (1906): two narrow white, transverse crescents on a dark brown wing. The other five specimens are a series of two males and one female from São Paulo state ψall in an excellent state of preservationψ which, although the male genitalia are identical with the type male, all have uniformly dark brown wings; a female from Misiones, Argentina, badly rubbed, so that if it had a pattern, it is no longer visible; and a female specimen labeled “ Brazil,” on which the wing pattern described by Ulmer is clear. Given the dearth of material, I cannot assess whether the patterned and unpatterned forms are different species; as the genitalia are indistinguishable, I am treating them all as P. bromeliarum. The wing pattern of P. bromeliarum is similar to that of P. fenestratus; however, in the latter, the white bands are longer and a long patch of white is present in cell Cu 2, which is lacking in P. bromeliarum. The male of P. bromeliarum is very different from other species of Phylloicus, as the dorsum of tergum X is very high, nearly even with the dorsum of tergum IX for most of its length (Fig. 32A). In addition, the harpago is very long and large, and is distinctive of this species. Adult. Forewing length 7.48.9 mm, n = 7. Head black, except for small setal warts. Maxillary palps black. Antenna twice forewing length; dark brown. Dorsal pterothorax black; ventrolateral thorax dark brown. Femora dark brown; tibiae dark brown; tarsi white, or ivory. Metathoracic leg of male and female with posterior fringe of long setae. Tibial spur formula 2,4,2. Forewing flat; dark brown; with two transverse bands; proximal band white, reaching posterior wing margin, at least 1/2 width of wing; distal band white, not reaching either wing margin, 1/2 width of wing or less. Hind wing basal brush absent. Male. Preterminalic abdominal terga without anteromesal notches. Corematic structures absent, terga IIIV unmodified, without membranous lobes or sclerotized processes. Sternum VII with short, acute anteromesal process. Sternum VIII similar to anterior sterna, sternum IX not elongate. Tergum IX with mesal ridge extending full length of segment; posterior margin slightly concave, sublaterally produced into small acute processes; very short mesally (Fig. 32B); lateral ridge absent; dorsal pleural setae approximately 10, ventral pleural setae absent (Fig. 32A); sternum IX with paired mesolateral ridges joined posteriorly; sternum IX (Fig. 32C). Preanal appendage less than 2/3 length of tergum X, widest near base, setae long, but not filamentous or longer than appendage (Fig. 32A, B). Tergum X without basal lobes; basodorsal process absent; basolateral processes absent; apex, in lateral view, truncate, in dorsal view, cleft; with short setae apicodorsally (Fig. 32A, B). Harpago large, rounded; peglike setae tiny, mesal (Fig. 32A, C). Phallotremal sclerites average size, longest dimension less than diameter of phallobase; dorsal sclerite ovoid, in dorsal view horseshoeshaped (Fig. 32D, E). Female. Preterminal abdominal terga without anteromesal notches. Sternum VII with short pointed anteromesal process. Tergum VIII without posterolateral brush; sternum VIII cleft posteromesally to anterior ridge; sternum VIII (Fig. 33C). Tergum IX without mesal ridge (Fig. 33B). Sternum IX anterior lobes darkly sclerotized and striate, posterior lobes smooth, without distinct area of thin cuticle or invagination (Fig. 33A). Tergum X appendage shorter than mesal lobe, base indistinct, apex oblique; mesal lobe lightly sclerotized; digitate lateral processes absent (Fig. 33B). Sternum X with patches of short fine setae posterolaterally to anal opening (Fig. 33A).

Phylloicus holzenthali, new species Figs. 57, 58 Phylloicus holzenthali is distinguished by the wing pattern, large size, and morphology of the abdominal coremata (Fig. 57F). The forewing of P. holzenthali is distinctive in having a white or ivory spot on the proximal posterior margin, in the anal lobe. This spot bears no setae ψ the color comes from the membrane itself. It is large enough to be easily visible in pinned specimens. This is one of the largest species of Phylloicus; only P. llaviuco, mexicanus, maculatus, and magnus are larger or in the same size class. The type series are from Yacambú National Park in Lara state. I have examined a few specimens from Mérida and Barinas; these males have only tiny coremata or none at all, but otherwise are indistinguishable. As within each series there is variation, I am inclined to believe that these are hybrid specimens. Possibly the specimens with no coremata are the sister species to P. holzenthali, as appears to be the case with P. elegans and lituratus, and the intermediates are hybrids. However, I do not believe that I have been able to examine enough material to describe these as a distinct species. Further collections from these areas should resolve this question. Adult. Forewing length 14.115.6 mm, n = 35. Head chestnut brown, with dorsomesal crest of chestnut brown setae. Maxillary palps chestnut brown. Antenna twice forewing length; dark brown, with narrow patches of pale sensilla on anteromesal surface of each flagellomere. Dorsal pterothorax chestnut brown; ventrolateral thorax golden brown. Legs golden brown. Metathoracic leg of male with posterior fringe of long setae. Tibial spur formula 2,4,4. Forewing flat; dark brown; with two transverse bands; proximal band dark brown; distal band dark brown; white or ivory patch in anal lobe, not setiferous, but membrane thick and without dark pigment. Hind wing basal brush present in male. Male. Preterminalic abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Corematic structures present. Tergum IV with paired posterior processes, lateral coremata; posterior process truncate; lateral coremata with basal globose lobes and long tubular posterior lobe. Tergum V without sclerotized modifications (Fig. 57F). Sternum VII with short, acute anteromesal process. Sternum VIII enclosing base of elongate sternum IX; posteromesal process broad, irregular (Fig. 57A, C). Tergum IX deeply notched anteriorly, margins of notch ridged; posterior margin smoothly rounded (Fig. 57B); lateral ridge absent; dorsal pleural setae approximately 15, ventral pleural setae approximately 6 (Fig. 57A). Preanal appendage approximately length of tergum X, of uniform diameter throughout length, setae long, but not filamentous or longer than appendage (Fig. 57A, B). Tergum X without basal lobes; basodorsal process long and digitate; basolateral processes absent; apex, in lateral view, acute, in dorsal view, entire (Fig. 57A, B). Harpago slightly tapered; peglike setae many, mesoventral (Fig. 57A, C). Phallic endotheca with paired basolateral lobes, basolateral lobes multilobed; phallotremal sclerites average size, longest dimension less than diameter of phallobase; dorsal sclerite ovoid, in dorsal view horseshoeshaped (Fig. 57D, E). Female. Preterminal abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Sternum VII with short pointed anteromesal process. Tergum VIII without posterolateral brush; sternum VIII cleft posteromesally to anterior ridge; sternum VIII (Fig. 58C). Tergum IX without mesal ridge (Fig. 58B). Sternum IX anterior and posterior lobes darkly sclerotized and striate, with irregular, semimembranous pockets lateral to vaginal opening (Fig. 58A). Tergum X appendage length equal to mesal lobe, base indistinct, apex oblique; mesal lobe lightly sclerotized; digitate lateral processes absent (Fig. 58B). Sternum X with patches of short fine setae posterolaterally to anal opening (Fig. 58A).
