behind transverse sulcus. Forewing with membrane including inner portion of 
inner apical cell and apical portions of remaining apical cells, veins not 
elevated, not very distinct, with four apical cells of which base of fourth is 
more proximal than base of third, without an anteapical plexus of veins, tex- 
ture subhyaline, without sculpturing. Hindleg with femoral setal formula 
2:1:1; length of first tarsomere greater than combined length of two more dis- 
tal tarsomeres and with two parallel rows of small setae on plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer strongly produced, posterior margin narrowly 
rounded, ventral margin with a broad concavity, dorsal margin thickened and 
processlike, macrosetae few and located parallel to posterodorsal and posterior 
margin. Plates subtriangular but rounded at apices, not extending posteriorly 
as far as pygofer apex, with multiseriate small setae. Style extending 
posteriorly slightly farther than apex of connective, without preapical lobe, 
truncate apically. Connective somewhat Y-shaped with stem broad. Aedeagus 
with shaft slender, broadened and decurved at apex, with a short anteapical 
median ventral process. Paraphyses very long-stalked, rami curved dorsally at 
their apices. 
Female unknown. 
Aurogonalia, new genus, is known only from the type-species from Ecuador, 
described below. The genus is close to Platygonia Melichar, but differs in hav- 
ing paraphyses, and male plates that are rounded apically. It is also similar in 
form to Pamplonoidea, new genus, which also lacks paraphyses.

Type-species: Medlerola motiva, new species. 
Length of male 6.5-6.6 mm. 
Head well produced, median length of crown approximately equal to inter- 
ocular width and approximately six-tenths transocular width, anterior margin 
narrowly rounded in dorsal view, ocelli located before a line between anterior 
eye angles, each approximately equidistant from median line of crown and 
adjacent anterior eye angle; crown with a transverse concavity across ocelli, 
without a median longitudinal fovea, without sculpturing, lateral clypeal 
sutures extending onto crown and attaining ocelli; antennal ledges not 
protuberant, in lateral view with anterior margins convex and oblique; 
clypeus flattened medially, muscle impressions not distinct, face without
