Willeiana versigonoidea, NEW SPECIES 
Ficure 132 
Length of male 6.8 mm; female unknown. Crown with median length vary- 
ing from six-tenths to slightly less than six-tenths interocular width, and 
slightly less than four-tenths transocular width; clypellus slightly flattened 
medially and finely granulate, transclypeal suture distinct; pronotum with 
dorsopleural carinae complete. Male with aedeagus much less strongly con- 
vex dorsally than in W. nigricula (Osborn) (fig. 131f) and not as regularly so, 
and with a pair of ventral lobes from atrium but none on shaft as in nigricula. 
Crown and pronotum dark, mottled with yellow but with upper limits of 
muscle impressions bordered in black and with background of posterior por- 
tion of pronotum appearing darker, scutellum yellow with dark lines delimit- 
ing a median stripe and a pair of short yellow spots on anterior margin; fore- 
wings dull red or purplish with narrow longitudinal dark lines between longi- 
tudinal veins; face yellow with muscle impressions and median line of clypeus 
dark, the median line black near transition to crown, median line of clypellus 
black; thoracic pleura, venter and legs stramineous. 
Holotype male, Granadilla, Costa Rica, October 25, 1934 (C. H. Ballou) 
on coffee; one male, San Pedro de Montes de Oca, Costa Rica, February 6, 
1935 (C. H. Ballou) on Hibiscus rosa-sinenesis L. (USNM). One male, San José, 
Costa Rica, August 8, 1911 (MMB). 
W. versigonoidea, n. sp., is close to W. vallonia (Distant) in the structure of 
the male genitalia, but males of vallonia are larger, from 10.7-12.0 mm in 
length, and are not mottled. The form of the aedeagus differs from W. 
versigonoidea in its less strongly convex dorsal shaft margin and in lacking the 
ventral convex lobes on the shaft.
