03D687CDFA78FFECC5ABFF594EFBFD61.taxon	description	FEMALE (Figs 8 – 10, 13 – 17). Description. Like male (Figs 5 – 7) except: frons pale but darkening towards vertex, of same width throughout except slightly widening above lunule, pile black (Fig. 8); vertex of same width throughout, pile black (Fig. 8); scutum dark postero-medial area extends apico-medially as an acute point, almost until the anterior margin of the scutum (Fig. 9); scutellum with mostly black pile, pile lighter at apex (Fig. 9); all femora darkened apically, protarsus entirely black, all femora with apico-frontal face with black pile (Fig. 9); abdominal pale maculae narrower, appearing more like fasciae (Fig. 10). Genitalia (Figs 13 – 17): Segments, and membrane between them, short. Tergites and sternites 6 and 7 rectangular, wider than long, with pilosity restricted to apical margin. Tergite 8 rectangular, wider than long, pilosity restricted to apical margin and with four distinct apical setae, equally spaced from each other; sternite 8 mostly membranous slightly sclerotized basally, homogeneously pilose, pile shorter medially, longer and thicker laterally. Sternite 9 present in the genital chamber (‘ s 9 ’ in Fig. 13). Epiprocts connected apically by a narrow, curved, transverse sclerotized area (‘ epi’ in Fig. 13 and 15), with narrow apico-lateral extensions that touch the cerci dorsally (‘ ext’ in Fig. 16), and with short triangular apodemes (‘ ap’ in Fig. 15), pilose with four distinct apical setae (Fig. 15); hypoproct as a long triangular slightly sclerotized area, densely pilose (‘ hyp’ in Fig. 17). Cerci (‘ c’ in Figs 14 – 17) sclerotized and pilose, positioned ventrally and slightly perpendicular to the plane of the epiproct. Adult size. Length (mm). Male: body = 6 − 8 (n = 9), wing = 6.5 − 7.9 (n = 9). Female: body = 6.2 − 7.9 (n = 10), wing = 6.2 − 7.5 (n = 12). Adult variation. When comparing to the description and images of C. tigrinum in Ricarte et al. (2015), the males from this study have a more ventrally produced face (Figs 6 and 9), the scutum is cream-colored medially, instead of orange (although this might be an artifact of preservation / photography), the posterior brown maculae of the scutum are larger (Figs 5 and 8), the pile of the scutellum is mostly black, all femora are darkened apically, and the pale abdominal markings are narrower (Figs 7 and 10).	en	Miranda, Gil F.

03D687CDFA78FFECC5ABFF594EFBFD61.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. The area where the specimens were collected was a lowland humid tropical forest. The decaying fruits of the host plant (C. combaymensis Tul.), where immature stages of this species were collected, belong to the family Salicaceae, a different family from the previously known record, Malvaceae (Ricarte et al. 2015).	en	Miranda, Gil F.
