Tropicophyllum modestum Chamorro-Rengifo & Braun, 2010: 46.
Diagnosis. Vein MA with three main branches reaching wing margin (Fig. 100). Mesobasisternum anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly slightly convex, forming a posterolaterally acuminate tip (Fig. 99E). Metabasisternum anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally, laterally and posteriorly convex (Fig. 99E). Apex of cercus with projection with two small acuminated tips and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color (Fig. 99K). Ejaculatory vesicles large and reniform (Figs. 102A–D).
Redescription. Holotype Male.
Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly slightly convex, forming a posterolaterally acuminate tip (Fig. 99E). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally, laterally and posteriorly convex (Fig. 99E).
Wings. Vein MA with three main branches reaching wing margin (Fig. 100). Left stridulatory file slightly curved; basal and apical teeth minor (Fig. 101A). Total file length of 4.3 mm, greater vein width of 0.4 mm and total of 126 teeth. Right stridulatory slightly curved; basal half teeth larger and more spaced apart (Fig. 101B). Total length file of 3.4 mm, widest vein of 0.2 mm and total of 106 teeth.
Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 1/2 of the total femur length (Fig. 99H).
Abdomen. Cercus curved inwards, with the apex expanded (Figs. 99I–K). Apex of cercus with projection with two small acuminated tips and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color (Fig. 99K). Stylus small and triangular (Fig. 99I).
Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles large and reniform (Figs. 102A–D). Upper folds of ventral lobe small, triangular and not connected (Figs. 102A–B). Titillator process small and elliptical (Figs. 102A–D). Lower folds of ventral lobe large, triangular, posteriorly rounded and not exceeding the dorsal lobe (Figs. 102A–B). Dorsal lobes anteriorly straight, anterolaterally with two small projections, laterally and posteriorly convex (Figs. 102A– D). Dorsal folds short, wide and curved (Figs. 102C–D).
Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimen (Fig. 99). Body and tegmina light brown. Eyes light brown with dark brown spots.
Female. Unknown.
