description: Gallio furtadoi Carneiro, Dolibaina, Mielke & Casagrande, sp. nov.   
(Figs 3, 7, 11, 13)  
 Diagnose: Gallio furtadoi sp. nov. is distinguished from G. carasta by its smaller size, with forewing length around 9.5–10 mm (Fig. 3a–d); unaligned forewing subapical yellow spots in R 3 –M 1 due to the proximal position of the spot R 4 –R 5 (Fig. 3b); submarginal yellow line of ventral forewing (Fig. 3b); the forewing ventral surface with the yellow submarginal line in M 1 –M 2 exceeding proximally the subapical yellow spots (Fig. 3b). However, as mentioned on the diagnosis of G. imperatriz sp. nov., the characters listed above are shared with both G. imperatriz sp. nov. and G. eti sp. nov., thus G. furtadoi sp. nov. can be distinguished from these species by the trapezoid tegumen; developed fenestra; distal margin of harpe thinner and pointed; dorsal projection of ampulla reduced; aedeagus longer than the anterior projection of saccus + valva; ejaculatory bulb opening on the anterior margin of the coecum; distal opening of aedeagus short, proximally not projected in dorsal view; distal margin of aedeagus truncated and with a minor rounded projection on the right side; vesica lobed, end covered with several reduced spines; lamella antevaginalis shorter, distal margin with three short projections, two laterals and one at the center; distal margin of the lamella postvaginalis with a developed V-shaped indentation.   
 Description: Forewing length 9.5–10 mm. Antenna: nudum 11. Male genitalia: fenestra developed. Harpe’s dorsal projection as small reduced spine; posterior projection aculeate. Aedeagus longer than valva + saccus length, coecum reduced, elbowed, slightly curved to the left; dorso-distal end of aedeagus hollowed, hollow wide, short, not extended anteriorly on aedeagus; ventro-distal end of aedeagus truncated, with a minor rounded projection on the right side; vesica distally clothed by several reduced spines. Female genitalia: lamella antevaginalis projection wide, with lateral and median, rather reduced rounded projections. Distal margin of lamella postvaginalis with lateral triangular processes separated by a V-shaped line. Ductus bursae folded in &-shape.
