Figure 100 



Length of female 14 mm. (male with wing apices missing). Head 

 with median length greater than interocular width, ocelli located 

 slightly behind a line between anterior angles of eyes, antennal ledges 

 with anterior margins steeply declivous. Pronotum with posterior 

 portion of disc transversely rugose. Scutellum not transversely striate 

 on posterior portion. Forewing with membrane not distinctly delimited 

 from remainder of wing surface, veins elevated, corium without an 

 anteapical plexus of veins. Pygofer rounded apically, the dorsal process 

 slender and elongate, extending ventrally and slighdy mesally in a 

 gradual curve, acute apically; style without a distinct preapical lobe, 

 truncate apically; aedeagus in lateral aspect with a dorsal anteapical 

 process, in ventral aspect with shaft broad, abruptly narrowed ante- 

 apically. Female abdominal sternum VII as in P. misella (Melichar) 

 (figure 103) except that posterolateral angles are more produced and 

 rounded. Color dull red except scutellum and head which are black, 

 the latter marked with sordid yellow; legs red. 



Holotype male and one female, Colombia in USNM (C. F. Baker 

 collection). 



P. eluta, new species is closely related to P. columbica (Signoret) from 

 which it differs in the shape of the aedeagus, which lacks the ventral 

 processes of columbica and which is more abruptly narrowed apically.
