Figs 16–26, 40–41
Diagnosis
This species can be distinguished from all other Pitambara species by the presence on its tegmina of a basal hyaline patch and a costal hyaline patch (Fig. 1) both roughly rectangular (Fig. 16).
Etymology
The Latin name impudica refers to the shape of the anal tube in dorsal view (Fig. 24), similar to insulting digitibus impudicus as called in the ancient Rome.

Description
Length, male (including tegmina) (n = 5): 7.8–8.0 mm.
Vertex 1.5 times longer in midline than broad at base, anterior margin V-shaped well marked, anterior and lateral margins elevated. Frons 1.5 times longer in midline than widest part, median carina weakly present. Pronotum 3.9 times broader at widest part than long in midline. Mesonotum 1.5 times broader at widest part than long in midline.
Coloration
Vertex greyish white with three slender and fuscous longitudinal stripes and two fuscous patches at base; anterior and lateral margins black (Fig. 19). Eyes brownish ochraceous (Fig. 19). Frons pale piceous in ventral view; sublateral carinae brown, with very narrow longitudinal stripes at inner side; lateral margins brown (Fig. 20). Clypeus pale piceous, with apical part dark brown (Fig. 20). Gena greyish white, with one fuscous transverse stripe crossing ocellus (Fig. 18). Ocelli red. Pronotum greyish white, with dark brown colour suffused in apical and median area on disc; median and lateral carinae ochraceous (Fig. 19). Mesonotum black, median and lateral carinae black (Fig. 19). Tegmina dark brown, costal margin with one greyish white marking along with two fuscous transverse stripes at basal ¼; one rectangular greyish white marking at middle extending to median part of tegmina, with fuscous transverse stripes inside; two small greyish white irregular markings near apex of costal margin, and apical part greyish white, with fuscous sinuate stripe inside (Fig. 16). Hindwings pale brown. Legs pale piceous; fore and median femora and tibiae diffused with fuscous transverse stripes.
Male terminalia
Pygofer higher than wide in profile, with dorsal margin sloping posteriorly at basal ¼ and flattened at basal ¾, posterior margin slightly concave near middle, dorso-lateral angle acute (Fig. 21). Anal tube in dorsal view longer than wide, with apical part digitiform and lateral margin convex (Fig. 24); in lateral view, anal tube prolonged posteriorly beyond the anal opening point by a medio-dorsal extension gradually tapering to apex (Fig. 21). Gonostylus longer than high, dorsal margin sloping forward at basal part and sinuate at apical part, with a small hook-like process directed posteriorly near base; ventral margin obliquely rounded (Figs 21, 25). In lateral view, dorsal margin of periandrium regularly curved and deeply concave at middle, beyond the insertion level of aedeagus process, periandrium getting slender regularly and apex round, bearing a dorsal process oriented dorsally (Figs 26, 40), aedeagus bearing a pair of ventral-anterior processes very regularly curved and oriented anteriorly (Fig. 26). In ventral view, processes of aedeagus straight.
