Studies on neotropical Protoneuridae. 11. two new species of Forcepsioneura Lencioni (Odonata-Zygoptera) with a key to males of the genus

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Forcepsioneuro haerleli sp. n. and F. wes!falli sp. n. are described and illustrated ti'oll1material collected respectively in the Santa Catarina State (Blumenau), Brazil and in the apo Province (Lirnoncocha), Ecuador. Some notes are made on Forcepsioneura sal/cia (Hagen, 1860) and a male topotype is illustrated. A key to males of Forcepsioneura is provided.

In honor of conservation of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: description of two new damselflies of the genus Forcepsioneura discovered in private protected areas (Odonata: Coenagrionidae)

“…nov.); anteromesal margin of MBP acute in dorsal view (Fig. 25) separates it from F. sancta (largely rounded in dorsal view; sensu Machado 2001); apex of VBP acute and MBP not visible in lateral view (Figs 5, 24) from F. itatiaiae (apex of VBP truncated and MBP visible in lateral view); VBP shorter, not reaching ventral margin of S10 in lateral view, and apex strongly curved internally (Figs 5, 24-26) from F. haerteli (which has a longer VBP at level of S10, and apex slightly curved internally).…”

“…Machado in the same year proposed P. ciganae as a junior synonym of Phasmoneura sancta Hagen in Selys, 1860 (Machado 1999). Indeed, Machado, in a series of seminal works ("Studies on Neotropical Protoneuridae"), was the first author to suggest that P. sancta would need to be transferred to its own genus (see Machado 1985) and he (Machado 2000(Machado , 2001(Machado , 2005 described half of the six currently valid species of Forcepsioneura.…”

“…El género se encuentra compuesto por tres especies: Amazoneura ephippigera, A. westfalli (Machado) y A. juruaensis Machado, las que se distribuyen en el noroeste de Brasil, el norte de Perú y el este de Ecuador (mapa 2). Machado (2001) describe a Forcepsioneura westfalli, y junto a F. ephippigera crea el grupo ephippigera, sobre la base de la similitud en el patrón de coloración con áreas oscuras confluyendo ventralmente, y su distribución en la selva amazónica.…”
