description: Edessa translucida sp. n.
(Figs. 2 A–D; 5C–D; 6)
Etymology. This name refers to the translucent part of corium (From latin. Trans: across, through; Lucida: full of light).
Holotype male. PANAMA: Coll. R. I. Sc. N. B (IRSN).
Material examined. Paratype female. same data holotype (IRSN).
Measurements. antennomeres length: 1st: 0.7; 2nd: 1.6–1.9; 3rd: 1.2–1.3; 4th: 2.4–2.5; 5th: 2.3; head length: 1.3; head width: 2.2–2.4; pronotal length: 2.2–2.5; pronotal width: 6.6–7.3; scutellum length: 4.9–5.5; scutellum width: 3.8–4.2; abdominal width: 6.3–7.0; total length: 12.3–13.4.
Diagnosis. Antennal segment I smoky black dorsally, green ventrally (Fig. 5C,D); other segments smoky black with basal yellow ring on segments III and IV, segment V with basal third yellow; segment II longer than segment III. Anterolateral margins of pronotum yellow (Fig. 5C). Costal margins of coria yellow on basal third (Fig. 5C). Corial punctures adjacent to each claval suture black, concolorous on remainder of coria (Fig. 5C). Coria each with faint smoky brown spot restricted to area with black punctures (Fig. 5C). Pygophore with dorsal rim ending in an indentation close to each posterolateral angle, those clearly above level of posterolateral angles (Fig. 2A). Gonocoxites 8 strongly convex, lateral angles barely projected and acute (Fig. 2D).
Description. Head. Apices of mandibular plates green or smoky black.
Thorax. Humeral angles yellow on apical margins (Fig. 5C). Scutellum with apex impunctate and margin black (Fig. 5C). Veins of coria concolorous with corial surfaces (Fig. 5C). Membranes of hemelytra light brown (Fig. 5C). Ventral surface punctation sparse, shallow, light brown (Fig. 5D).
Abdomen. Distal margins of seventh abdominal segments black (Fig. 5C).
Male (Fig. 2 A–C). Dorsal rim of pygophore only slightly projected, with a pair of submedian brown concretions (Fig. 2A); concolorous with dorsal surface, except thin, brown ridge between concretions. Posterolateral angles somewhat posteriorly projected and rounded; tumescence almost imperceptible (Fig. 2A). Superior process of the genital cup dark brown, rounded, and small. Parameres flattened; each anterior lobe large, dorsally directed, fanshaped, slightly concave; posterior lobe clavate, strongly curved laterodorsally; margins brown (Fig. 2B). Proctiger with lateral excavations deep, dorsally delimited by short keel; posterior face large, subtriangular (Fig. 2B). Ventral rim with a medial deep excavation delimited by small, acuminated, concave expansions, not reaching level of lateral angles in ventral view (Fig. 2C). Ventral surface rugulose, sparsely punctured.
Female (Fig. 2D). Gonocoxites 8 slightly projected posteriorly, not reaching middle of laterotergites 9; mesial borders slightly divergent distally, forming a tiny tooth. Gonocoxites 9 slightly inclined laterally. Laterotergites 9 each with base deeply excavated, with a fingerlike tumescence contiguous to each gonocoxite 8; apices clearly surpassing sclerite uniting laterotergites 8.
Comments. See discussion of E. stalii.
