Abstract

GARCIA ALDRETE, Alfonso N.  and  MOCKFORD, Edward L.. A new species of Waoraniella (Psocodea: 'Psocoptera': Lachesillidae: Eolachesillinae) from the Reserva Florestal Ducke, Amazonas, Brazil. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.1, pp.123-127. ISSN 2448-8445.

Waoraniella vidali n. sp., the second species in the genus, is described and illustrated on the basis of a male from Amazonas, Brazil. The hypandrium and clunium are autapomorphic for the family. The phallosome is similar to that of Eolachesilla, and the character state "Forewing Rs-M joined by a crossvein" is found to appear in three genera of the subfamily Lachesillinae. Thus Waoraniella and Eolachesilla are close, and the genera of Graphocaeciliini stand apart in the subfamily.

Keywords : Taxonomy; Amazonia; neotropics; Waoraniellini.
