(Figs 59, 60)  
 Type material. Holotype: ♂, Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, Jaquirana, Passo da Ilha, Tainha river, 50°21`28``W – 28°53`06``S, 05.xi.2007, L.M. Fusari — LEIA. Paratypes: ♂, same data as holotype— DZUP; ♂, Minas Gerais, Catas Altas Santuário, Caraça river, 43°24`28``W – 20°04`30``S, 29.vii.2008, light trap, L.C. Pinho — LEIA.   
 Diagnostic characters. A. parareissi sp. n. differs from other species by the combination of the following characters: labrum with 3 setae, antepronotal lobe with 12–14 setae, fr 750–806 µm from arculus, m-cu towards fcu, R 3 apex close to C, pigmentation of front and middle femur and front tibia, expanded megaseta, aedeagal complex with only 1 grooved aedeagal blade, dorsal lobe present, sternapodeme 109–112 µm long.   
 Etymology. Named due resemblance to the species Ablabesmyia reissi Paggi & Suarez, 2000.   
 Male (n = 3, unless otherwise stated): Dimensions: Total length 3.76–4.12 mm. Wing length 2.10–2.29 mm. Total length/wing length 1.77–1.79. Wing length/length of profemur 2.36–2.57.   
 Coloration (Figs 59A–F, 60A): wings, thorax and abdomen follow figures 59A, 59B and 59F, respectively. Legs: P I, P II —femora with 2 bands, tibiae with 3 bands; P III —femora with 1 band, tibiae with 3 bands. Ratio of bands, related tibiae and tarsomeres 1 follow table 44. Hypopygium: gonocoxite apex and gonostylus brown.

 Wing (Fig. 59A): width/lenght 0.30–0.31; VR 0.78–0.82; C 1.96–2.12 mm long; Sc 1.06–1.15 mm long; m-cu 42–51 µm long and 613–625 µm from arculus; fr 750–806 µm from arculus; R 3 apex close to C; brachiolum with 4 setae; squama with 44–49 setae.   
 Thorax (Fig. 59B): antepronotals 12–14; humerals 5; prealars 33; supraalar 1; scutelars 45.   
 Legs (Fig. 59C–E): P I –apex of tibia 55–62 µm wide and with 1 apical pectinated spur 59–66 µm long, spur ratio 0.52–0.55; tarsomeres 1–3 with 2 pseudospurs 55–59 µm long. P II –apex of tibia 52–60 µm wide and with 2 apical pectinated spurs 62–69 and 47–48 µm long, spurs ratio 0.52–0.59 and 0.54–0.68 respectively; tarsomeres 1–3 with 2 pseudospurs 45–61 µm long. P III –apex of tibia 40–57 µm wide and with 2 apical pectinated spurs 54–62 and 31–55 µm long, spurs ratio 0.60–0.63 and 0.47–0.50 respectively; tarsomeres 1–3 with 2 pseudospurs 51–63 µm long. Lengths and proportions of leg segments table 45.   
 Hypopygium (Fig. 60A, B): tergite IX with 3–4 central setae; anal point covers the aedeagal complex; phallapodeme 51–55 µm long; sternapodeme 109–112 µm long; gonocoxite 176–191 µm long and 115–119 µm wide; gonostylus 167–172 µm long, with 6 apical teeth; expanded megaseta; HR 1.05–1.11; HV 2.25–2.40.
