Abdominal sterna translucent white, yellowish toward gill sclerites and sternum IX. Genitalia (Figs. 56–59): pale except grayish secondary lobe of penes; sternum IX with truncate (Fig. 56) to slightly concave (Fig. 58) hind margin, covered by 3–7 pointed microlepides (detail on Fig. 58); pedestal of each side touching basally, with large apically rounded parastylus (in ventral view, Figs. 56, 58) but acute at lateral view (arrow in Fig. 57), round inner corner strongly projected (ic in Fig. 56); forceps whitish except grayish at base; base of penes wide proximally, narrowing abruptly on distal half (bp in Fig. 56); main lobe of penes (ml in Fig. 56) very wide at base, large and sclerotized, slightly curved ventrally and with pointed apex; secondary membranous lobe of penes (sl in Fig. 56) large and cylindrical. Caudal filament translucent yellowish white.
Etymology. We dedicate this species to Elidiomar Ribeiro da Silva, advisor of FFS when he was an undergraduate student aiming to contribute to the taxonomy of Campsurus.
Distribution (Fig. 179). Brazil (Amazonas, Roraima), Bolivia.
Diagnosis. Campsurus dasilvai sp. nov. is only known from male adults that can be characterized as follows: 1) posterior margin of male abdominal sternum IX truncate to slightly concave (Fig. 56, 58), sternum IX sculptured with 3 to 7 pointed microlepides (Fig. 58); 2) pedestals long and slender, well-developed, outer-posterior margin projected and forming a long parastylus with rounded apex (truncate and apically pointed in lateral view, Fig. 57), inner margin also projected but shorter (ic in Fig. 56); 3); penes separated and converging distally, each arm formed by a large dorsal sclerotized lobe with a wide base (ml in Fig 56), and a relatively large ventral apically rounded membranous lobe (sl in Fig 56), apex of main lobe of penes acutely pointed (Fig. 57); 4) small size (length of male fore wings 6.0– 6.5 mm).
Discussion. Please see characters to separate C. dasilvai sp. nov. from closely related species in the discussion of C. nessimiani sp. nov., above.
