Type locality. Brazil, Amazonas State, municipality of Manaus, Reserva Florestal Adolpho Ducke (02o55’S, 59o58’W).
Etymology. The specific epithet is a gentilic adjective that refers to Manaus, type locality of this species.
Distribution. Amazon Forest, in Amazonas State, municipality of Manaus, Reserva Florestal Adolpho Ducke (Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve), and in Pará State, municipality of Melgaço, Floresta Nacional de Caxiuanã (Caxiuanã National Forest), Estação Científica Ferreira Penna (Ferreira Penna Scientific Station).
Type material. Holotype, 8 males paratypes, 10 females paratypes. Holotype: male, with genitalia removed and kept with the specimen, labeled Manaus, AM [Amazonas], Brazil. Reserva ‘ Adolfo’ Ducke. 2o55’47.07”S, 59o58’29.48”W. F.A.G. Mello & equipe // CNPq-SISBIOTA (MZSP). Paratypes: 6 males, 8 females, same data as the holotype (MZSP); 1 male, same data as the holotype, labeled “GRYLLO/ MAN C2SUP (BOTU); 1 male, same data as the holotype, labeled PSD44 (BOTU); 1 female, same data as the holotype, labeled “GRYLLO/ MAN H6J 3X (BOTU); 1 female, same data as the holotype, labeled PSD45 (BOTU).
Diagnosis. Within the genus, D. manauara n. sp. can be recognized by the following characters: pseudepiphallic parameres (PsP) highly sclerotized; PsP2 with two pairs of distinct projections: one elongated, upcurved, second small, medial, semicircular, visible in dorsal view; PsP1 elongated, outer face of apex pointed, inner face rounded; ectophallic arc curved, below the median part of pseudepiphallic sclerite; ventral projections of the ectophallic invagination bent on the half of its extension, distal half and apex linked to the rest of the projection; ectophallic fold sclerotized, surrounding the apex of medio-posterior projection of endophallic sclerite.
Description. In addition to the characters of the genus:
Head. Occiput and vertex medium brown, almost uniform, with thick setae (Figs. 2 A–D). Fastigium wider than long, medium brown, with double row of thick setae, below vertex level and not separated from it by line or furrow (Figs. 2 A–D, G). Antennal scape longer than wide, scape and pedicel light brown; proximal antennomeres light brown, medial and distal medium brown (Figs. 2 A–D). Frons medium brown (Fig. 2G). In frontal view, gena dark brown (Fig. 2G). In lateral view, gena medium brown, not divided by stripe, with dark brown spots. Mandibles light to medium brown (Fig. 2G). Clypeus medium brown, center light brown; labrum greyish brown (Fig. 2G). Maxillary palpi elongated, joints 3–5 elongated, joint 4 longest; whitish, ventral half light brown (entirely light brown in some specimens); fifth joint whitish, apex light brown (medium brown in some specimens), curved, rounded (Figs. 1 A–B, 2J).
Thorax. Pronotum DD longer than wide, borders medium to dark brown (except cephalic margin), with thick setae, mainly on cephalic margin (Figs. 2 A–F). DD cephalic margin slightly convex, DD caudal margin substraight, LL ventro-cephalic angle curved, ventral margin ascending, ventro-caudal angle gradually ascendant (Figs. 2 A–F). Remarks. The holotype lost the setae on pronotum DD.
Legs. Legs I and II light to medium brown, not annulated, pubescent, with thick setae (Figs. 1 A–B, 2 A–B). Tympanum on inner face of TI. TI and TII with two ventral spurs. TII with two ventral spurs, and one dorsal—the outer dorsal is absent. FIII basis inflated; outer face light to medium brown, with dark brown maculae, inner face with same pattern (Figs. 1 A–B). TIII light to medium brown, not annulated. Subapical spurs 4/4, with serrulation between and above them; inner distal subapical spur near upper apical; apical spurs 3/3, more developed on inner face; inner apical spurs: dorsal longest (iad), median slightly shorter (iam), ventral smaller (iav) (iad>iam>iav); outer apical spurs: median longest (oam), dorsal slightly shorter (oad), ventral smaller (oav) (oam>oad>oav). Basitarsus III with double row of spines.
Abdomen. Tergites slightly pubescent, without tergal glands; dark brown, coloration almost uniform (Figs. 2A, D). Sternites light to medium brown. Cerci light to medium brown. Supra anal plate light to medium brown, not constricted medially; proximal margin slightly concave; distal margin straight, wide, without extended angles (Fig. 2H). Subgenital plate elongated, light brown, pubescent; proximal margin concave; median portion of distal margin convex, with short angles, resembling an open “w (Fig. 2I).
Male. Metanotum with two projections whitish, rounded (Figs. 2 D–E, 3 A–B); metanotal projections glandular (Figs. 3A–B). Male FWs short, rounded, reaching half of abdomen (Figs. 1A, 2A); right FW medium brown, distal half with thick setae (Figs. 2A, C); apex light brown (Fig. 1A); stridulatory file vestigial (very reduced, almost indistinguishable); other specialized veins or areas for sound production and propagation absent; left FW membranous, transparent, lateral field medium brown, with sparse setae. Male genitalia. Male genitalia bearing a pair of genital glands within pseudepiphallic sclerite, connected to tubular pseudepiphallic arms (Figs. 4 A–C). Pseudepiphallus: pseudepiphallic sclerite transverse, with phallic glands connected to two dorsal pseudepiphallic arms tubular (Figs. 4 A–C); pseudepiphallic arms curved outwards (Figs. 4A, B); apex with opening duct, rounded. Rami elongated, connected to pseudepiphallic sclerite, reaching apex of ectophallic apodemes (Fig. 4A). Pseudepiphallic parameres (PsP) highly sclerotized (Figs. 4 A–C); PsP2 with two pairs of distinct projections: one elongated, upcurved; second small, medial, semicircular, visible in dorsal view (Fig. 4A); PsP1 elongated, outer face of apex pointed, inner face rounded (Fig. 4B, C). Ectophallic invagination. Ectophallic apodemes elongated, thin (Figs. 4A, B); ectophallic arc curved, below median part of pseudepiphallic sclerite (Figs. 4A, B); dorsal projections of ectophallic invagination absent; ventral projections bent on half of its extension, distal half and apex linked to rest of the projection (Fig. 4B). Ectophallic fold sclerotized, surrounding apex of medio-posterior projection of endophallic sclerite (Fig. 4B). Endophallus. Endophallic sclerite large, flat (Figs. 4A, B); latero-posterior projections short, pointed (Fig. 4B); medio-posterior projection elongated (Fig. 4B). Endophallic apodeme paired, curved outwards, apex pointed (Figs. 4A, B).
Female. General coloration: body medium to yellowish brown; head, pronotum, abdomen, and legs with thick setae (Figs. 1B, 2B); abdomen pubescent, medium brown with sparse maculae yellowish brown (Fig. 2B); legs, pronotum, and structures of head same colored as males. Females FWs yellowish brown, translucent, reaching half of first tergite (Figs. 2B, F); inner margins juxtaposed (Fig. 2F). Supra anal plate pubescent, medium brown, medially constricted; proximal margin slightly concave, distal rounded (Fig. 2K). Subgenital plate pubescent, small; proximal margin convex, distal margin medially convex, angles rounded (Fig. 2L). Apex of ovipositor as in Figs. 2M, N. Female genitalia: copulatory papilla small, basis rounded, apex pointed centrally, as in Figs. 4 D–F.
