Atopsyche (Atopsyche) talamanca Flint 1974

Atopsyche talamanca

This species is a member of the tripunctata group and is very closely related to A. cira (Mosely). In A. cira the paracercus is simply trianguloid with basodorsal and apicoventral angles; in A. talamanca the basodorsal angle is developed into a long, rounded lobe, and the apicoventral angle is produced farther ventrad. The dorsal spur on the aedeagus is considerably longer in A. talamanca and borne from nearer midlength.

ADULT.—Known from pharate adults only; forewing length not precisely known but estimated at 10 mm. Color unknown. Male abdomen with anterolateral angles of second and third terga narrowly produced; anterolateral process of fifth sternum slightly longer than sternum; posteromesal process of sixth and seventh sterna about two-thirds length of respective sterna. Male genitalia: Ninth segment broad laterally; tenth tergum typical. Paracercus with a large, rounded, erect lobe dorsally, with a pointed apicoventral lobe bearing a small point. Filicercus slender, elongate; cercus button shaped. Clasper with basal segment enlarged apicad, with a slender mesal process; apical segment broad basally, narrowed apically, dorsal margin slightly enrolled. Aedeagus with basal area large; apicolateral lobes thin and broad, each with a dorsal spine at midlength; with a central spine.

MATERIAL.—Holotype, pharate male: COSTA RICA, CARTAGO: Ojo de Agua, route 2, km 75, 30 June 1967, Flint and Ortiz, USNM Type 72716. Paratype: Same data, 1 .
