plates slender, not fused at base, narrowed near base and before apex, ex- 
tending posteriorly well beyond pygofer apex, setae not uniseriate; style 
without preapical lobe; connective as in A. reclusa, n. sp., but not extending as 
far posteriorly as apex of styles; aedeagus arched as in A. resima, n. sp., shaft 
with a pair of slender tapering ventral processes arising at its midlength, ex- 
tending beyond apex of shaft, curved gradually ventrally apically; apex of 
shaft obliquely truncate. Female abdominal sternum VII moderately pro- 
duced posteriorly, with lateral margins gradually tapered to broadly convex 
apex, with a slight median apical tumescence. 
Color pale brown sprinkled with irregular small pale spots, or dark brown 
with fewer larger pale tan to orange spots, both varieties with three larger 
pale to orange spots on corium of forewings; face pale tan to dark brown, 
thoracic pleura very dark, legs much paler brown. 
Holotype and two additional males and two females, Choco Department, 
Camp Curiche, Colombia, 1967; five males and ten females, Darién Province, 
Santa Fé, Panama, June 2, 1967. (D. M. DeLong and C. A. Triplehorn) 
(OSU). 
A. sparsa, n. sp., has many similarities to A. reclusa, n. sp., discussed above. 
It differs from reclusa in the paired processes of the aedeagus, the single 
process of the pygofer, the male plate being widened anteapically, and in the 
lack of a preapical lobe on the style. 
Acrulogonia pararesima, NEW SPECIES 
FIGURE 536, PAGE 655 
Length 8.1 mm. Head with median length of crown slightly less than six- 
tenths interocular width and from slightly more than one-third to slightly 
more than four-tenths transocular width, crown in lateral view very slightly 
concave across ocelli. Pronotum equal in width to transocular width of head, 
forewings opaque. Male pygofer with dorsal margin more heavily sclerotized 
than remainder, with an anteapical dorsal process and an apical bifid process 
with short rami, disk of pygofer with a single seta near middle; plates 
elongate, exceeding pygofer apex, broadened anteapically, acute apically, with 
setae uniseriate basally, multiseriate near apex; style much as in A. incompta, 
n. sp.; connective Y-shaped with stem longer than arms; aedeagus much as in 
A. resima, n. sp., but with shaft narrower anteapically and more strongly de- 
curved apically. Female abdominal sternum VII moderately produced 
posteriorly with posterior margin broadly, shallowly concave; genital chamber 
with a large dorsal plate. A dome-shaped structure of unknown homology oc- 
curs between the first valvifers; it has two heavily sclerotized conical peaks. 
Color of dorsum varying shades of brown, with numerous minute pale spots 
and vermiculations, with a triradiate dark spot at apex of crown, and two pale 
red suboval spots broadly bordered with black on corium of forewing near 
costa; face and thoracic pleura dark with at least some paler marking on face; 
legs pale brown.
