Blepharoneura unifasciata Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 70, 164 ... more Blepharoneura unifasciata Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 70, 164 Diagnosis. This species differs from other species of Blepharoneura with the distal part of the wing banded in having only a single marginal hyaline mark in cell r2+3, and that mark broadly touching the costal margin in r2+3 and extending from the apex of vein R2+3 to the apex of vein M. Other useful diagnostic characters include: scutellum without brown markings; pterostigma with subapical hyaline spot; cell r1 without subapical hyaline spot; cell dm without hyaline subapical spot in anterior half; and abdominal tergites 3–5 with pair of broad dark brown submedial vittae and separate small posterolateral spot. The aculeus tip is very short and broad. It resembles those of B. ruptafascia, bidigitata and hirsuta, but the lateral lobe is rounded unlike B. ruptafascia, but not digitate as in B. bidigitata and hirsuta. Description. Head: Dark brown area on ocellar tubercle extended more than half distance to postocellar seta. Occipital suture narrowly dark brown. Thorax: Scutum entirely microtrichose, with 1 submedial pair of dark brown vittae from anterior margin halfway to transverse suture; posterior margin with pair of well separated rounded dark brown marks. Scutellum, subscutellum, mediotergite and pleuron entirely yellow. Basalare entirely yellow. Dorsocentral seta aligned slightly anterior to postalar seta. Legs: Mostly yellow. Mid femur with dark red brown spot on margin of anteroventral apical ridge, hind femur with similar but smaller and paler mark. Hind tibia slightly darker, orange. Wing (Fig. 70): Length 7.43 mm, width 3.76 mm, ratio 1.97. Crossvein r-m at 0.48 distance from bm-cu to dm-cu. Cell c with 2 rectangular to inverted trapezoidal hyaline spots, both reaching costa and subcosta; medial brown area faint anteriorly, paler than area of cell r1 posterior to pterostigma, narrower than both hyaline spots. Pterostigma with large subapical hyaline spot [#3] re [...]

Blepharoneura rupta: Hendel 1914: 20 [in key], 21 [in catalog]; Aczél 1950: 198 [in catalog]; Foote 1967: 18 [in catalog]; Norrbom et al. 1999: 106 [in catalog]. Diagnosis. This species is among the Blepharoneura species with the apical part of the wing obliquely banded, without marginal hyaline marks in cell r2+3. It differs from the other obliquely banded species by the following combination of characters: vertex with brown spot or band surrounding medial vertical seta; scutum without vittae or with 3 vittae or anterior spots, including unpaired medial one; anepisternum without brown markings; pterostigma without subapical hyaline spot; cell m with proximal hyaline mark extending at least to vein R4+5, distal mark often not extended beyond vein M; subapical hyaline band not extended anteriorly to vein R2+3 nor with aligned posterior spot in cell r1 and not extended proximally beyond the apex of the proximal hyaline band originating in cell m; and abdominal tergites 3–5 with brown mark extended to lateral margin or with small separate spot on margin. The aculeus is similar to those of B. cornelli and furcifer, with minutely serrate, digitate lateral and broad slanted sublateral lobes, a step-like submedial lobe, and unpaired truncate or convex medial lobe. Description. Head: Dark brown area on ocellar tubercle extended more than half distance to postocellar seta or reaching it. Small dark brown area surrounding and mostly posterior or posteromesal to medial vertical seta. Medial occipital sclerite with or without pair of faint brown submedial vittae on ventral half. Occipital suture narrowly dark orange to brown. Thorax: Scutum nonmicrotrichose except posterior to dorsocentral seta and laterally, entirely yellow (Rio Naranjo &female;) or with narrow unpaired presutural medial red brow [...]

Blepharoneura mikenoltei Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 48, 168 &... more Blepharoneura mikenoltei Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 48, 168 Diagnosis. This species is similar to B. chaconi in wing pattern, the relatively distal position of crossvein r-m, and aculeus shape but differs as follows: Cell r4+5 distally with 2 marginal or submarginal spots; cell dm proximal to r-m with 3–4 well separated hyaline spots; scutum without brown vittae; and scutellum dorsally without brown markings. The aculeus is similar to those of B. chaconi and mexicana, lacking small scales on the medial membrane, and the tip with a moderately broad medial concavity and 4 pairs of step-like lobes, but the tip is slightly more elongate and the medial concavity is broader than in those species. The holotype is teneral and although it is possible that its thoracic markings are not fully developed, the wing pattern and shape of the aculeus indicate that it is not conspecific with B. chaconi. Description. Head: Dark brown area on ocellar tubercle extended less than half distance to postocellar seta. Medial occipital sclerite with pair of dark brown submedial vittae on ventral half. Occipital suture narrowly dark brown. Thorax: Scutum entirely microtrichose, yellow except pair of large quadrate dark brown spots near posterior margin. Notopleuron entirely yellow. Small faint brown spot anterior to postsutural supra-alar seta, diffuse brown spot lateral to postsutural supra-alar seta, small brown spot anterior to postalar seta, and faint brown spot lateral to dorsolateral corner of scutellum present. Scutellum entirely yellow. Subscutellum brown except medially. Mediotergite brown except medially and narrowly dorsolaterally. Pleuron mostly yellow. Anepimeron with large posteromedial brown spot extending to extreme anterior margin of katatergite. Anatergite with large posteroventral brown area. Basalare entirely yellow. Dorsocentral seta aligned slightly posterior to postalar seta. Legs: Mostly yellow. Hind femur with elongate, moderately broad anteroventral and [...]

Blepharoneura marshalli Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 45, 102–10... more Blepharoneura marshalli Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 45, 102–104, 114–115, 166 Diagnosis. This species and B. amplihyalina differ from other species of Blepharoneura by the extremely large hyaline area in cells dm and cu1 that completely lacks brown spots within it and from most other species by the distal location of crossvein r-m, which is more than 0.65 of the distance from bm-cu to dm-cu (this distance exceeds 0.60 only in some B. zumbadoi, chaconi, nigriapex and mikenoltei). Blepharoneura marshalli differs from B. amplihyalina in the shape of the aculeus, the tip of which is shorter, with angular and evenly spaced lobes, and a broad and shallow medial apical concavity. In B. amplihyalina the tip is elongate triangular with weak step-like lobes and a strong narrow notch in the medial lobe. Description. Head: Dark brown area on ocellar tubercle extended less than half to half distance to postocellar seta. Medial occipital sclerite with pair of pale brown to dark brown submedial vittae on ventral half. Occipital suture narrowly orange brown to dark brown. Thorax (Figs. 102–104): Postpronotal lobe entirely yellow or often with minute brown spot at junction with anepisternum. Scutum entirely microtrichose, with 2 pairs of dark brown vittae or rows of spots; submedial vitta interrupted or narrowed posterior to transverse suture, occasionally interrupted anterior to suture, well separated from marks on posterior margin; sublateral vitta with presutural part usually extended to level of supra-alar seta (interrupted in 2 specimens), postsutural part nearly complete or (holotype and 1&male;) reduced to spot posterior to transverse suture; posterior margin with 2 well separated brown marks. Notopleuron usually with brown vitta on lateral margin, occasionally absent (1&male;) or reduced to anterior and posterior spots (1&male;). Small brown spot anterior to postsutural supra-alar seta, brown spot anterior to postal [...]

Blepharoneura cornelli Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 25, 121, 12... more Blepharoneura cornelli Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 25, 121, 128 Diagnosis. This species is among the Blepharoneura species with the apical part of the wing obliquely banded, without marginal hyaline marks in cell r2+3. It differs from the other obliquely banded species by the following combination of characters: vertex with brown spot or band surrounding medial vertical seta; medial occipital sclerite with pair of brown submedial vittae on ventral half; anepisternum without brown markings; pterostigma without subapical hyaline spot; cell r4+5 without hyaline spot near crossvein dm-cu; subapical hyaline band not extended anteriorly to vein R2+3 nor with aligned posterior spot in cell r1 but extended proximally beyond the apex of the proximal hyaline band originating in cell m; and abdominal tergites 3–5 with brown mark or spot on lateral margin. The aculeus is similar to those of B. rupta and furcifer, with minutely serrate, digitate lateral and broad slanted sublateral lobes, a step-like submedial lobe, and unpaired truncate or convex medial lobe, but the lateral lobe is narrower than in those species and the medial lobe is shorter than in B. rupta. Description. Head: Dark brown area on ocellar tubercle extended less than half distance to postocellar seta. Small dark brown area surrounding and extending posteromesal to medial vertical seta. Medial occipital sclerite with pair of faint brown submedial vittae on ventral half. Occipital suture narrowly dark orange. Thorax: Scutum nonmicrotrichose except posterior to dorsocentral seta and laterally, mostly yellow, with pair of short comma-shaped pale brown vittae near anterior margin aligned with medial corner of postpronotal lobe. Scutellum, subscutellum, mediotergite, and pleuron entirely yellow. Basalare yellow. 2 pairs of dorsocentral setae present (missing in holotype except left posterior seta), posterior pair aligned between postalar and intra-alar setae, anterior (supernumery) pair aligned slightly [...]

Blepharoneura bivittata Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 15–16, 95,... more Blepharoneura bivittata Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 15–16, 95, 126 Diagnosis. This species is among the Blepharoneura species with the apical part of the wing obliquely banded, without marginal hyaline marks in cell r2+3. It differs from the other obliquely banded species by the following combination of characters: vertex with brown spot or band surrounding medial vertical seta; scutum with pair of submedial brown vittae, uninterrupted at transverse suture; anepisternum without brown markings; pterostigma without subapical hyaline spot; cell m with 2 hyaline marks extended into cell r4+5 and connected to form inverted V-shaped mark; abdominal tergites with pair of solid dark brown vittae without yellow spots and with even medial margins, not extending to lateral margins of tergites, which are yellow. The aculeus of B. bivittata resembles those of B. brevivittata and fernandezi in having a very broad, deep medial concavity, but the part of the tip exclusive of the lateral lobes is narrower and more elongate. Description. Head: Dark brown area (orange brown in 1&male;) on ocellar tubercle extended half distance to or beyond postocellar seta. Medial vertical seta in ovoid orange brown to dark brown spot mostly posteromesal to seta or (Upala &male;) in broad band extended to opposite seta and connected to area on ocellar tubercle. Occipital suture narrowly dark orange to dark orange brown. Sometimes (2&male;) with diffuse pale brown area including and ventral to lateral vertical seta, in 1 specimen extending along eye margin. Thorax (Fig. 95): Scutum nonmicrotrichose except posterior to dorsocentral seta and laterally, with pair of broad dark brown submedial vittae, in holotype extended to midway between levels of postsutural supra-alar seta and intra-alar seta, presutural part dark brown, faded to orange brown posterior to transverse suture, in males extended to posterior brown mark. Posterior margin yellow (holotype) or usually with bimodal or [...]

Blepharoneura brevivittata Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 17–20, ... more Blepharoneura brevivittata Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 17–20, 96–97, 124, 127 Diagnosis. This species is among the Blepharoneura species with the apical part of the wing obliquely banded, usually without marginal hyaline marks in cell r2+3. It differs from the other obliquely banded species by the following combination of characters: vertex with brown spot or band surrounding medial vertical seta; scutum with pair of submedial brown vittae, interrupted at transverse suture, and with brown band or triangular to trapezoidal mark on posterior margin; anepisternum without brown markings; abdominal tergites with pair of broad solid dark brown vittae without yellow spots and with even margins, not extending to lateral margins of tergites, which are yellow; cell c hyaline to diffuse pale brown except margins (without complete brown medial mark dividing distinct subbasal and subapical hyaline spots); distal hyaline mark in cell m ending at vein M or at most extending midway across cell r4+5. The aculeus of B. brevivittata resembles those of B. bivittata and fernandezi in having a very broad, deep medial concavity. It is intermediate between those two species in the width of the medial concavity, and the relative length of the tip is less than in both species. Description. Head: Dark brown area on ocellar tubercle almost always (17 of 18 specimens) extended beyond postocellar seta. Medial vertical seta in ovoid or triangular dark brown spot mostly posteromesal to seta or in narrow to broad band extended to opposite seta and usually connected to area on ocellar tubercle. Occipital suture narrowly dark orange to red brown. Sometimes with diffuse paler brown spot or small area including or ventral to lateral vertical seta. Thorax (Figs. 96–97): Scutum nonmicrotrichose except posterior to dorsocentral seta and laterally, with pair of broad dark brown submedial presutural vittae, usually broadest at level of posterior margin of postpronotal lobe, usually extended alm [...]

Blepharoneura aspiculosa Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 9, 136 &l... more Blepharoneura aspiculosa Norrbom & Condon, new species Figs. 9, 136 Diagnosis. This species, B. splendida, sinepuncta, and punctistigma differ from other Blepharoneura species in having the thoracic pleuron largely brown, the apical fourth or more of the hind femur dark brown, and the distal part of the wing with oblique bands. Blepharoneura aspiculosa is very similar to B. punctistigma. It differs by aculeus shape (apex slightly more elongate, steps shallower) and lack of medial scales; the hyaline subapical band not constricted along vein R4+5; and cell dm with a single very long and broad hyaline area in the basal 3/4 (the narrowest part extends 3/4 of distance to anterior margin of cell; B. punctistigma usually has 2 separate hyaline areas). These two species differ from B. splendida and sinepuncta by their markings in cell dm (subapical spot [#25] isolated and distal to posterior spot aligned with r-m [#24]) and the pterostigma (always with a subapical spot, which is absent in B. sinepuncta and usually absent in B. splendida). The aculeus tip differs from those of B. splendida and sinepuncta in having shallower gaps between the lobes. Description. Head: Dark brown area on ocellar tubercle extended more than half distance to postocellar seta. Medial vertical seta in yellow area. Medial occipital sclerite with pair of pale brown submedial vittae on ventral half. Occipital suture narrowly dark brown, on lateral side bordered by triangular brown area extending to postocular setae, not including lateral vertical seta. Thorax: Scutum entirely microtrichose, with 2 pairs of dark brown vittae or rows of spots; submedial vitta narrowed and almost interrupted posterior to transverse suture and separated from mark on posterior margin; sublateral vitta interrupted at transverse suture, narrowly connected to mark on posterior margin; posterior margin with 1 broad brown mark narrowed medially. Notopleuron br [...]
