description: TRICHADENOTECNUM NEOLEONENSE SP. NOV.   Material examined: Holotype. Male. Mexico: Nuevo León, Guadalupe, Rancho Alamillos, Ladera E Cerro de la Silla, 620 m, 31.vii.1979, ANGA (UNAM). Paratype. 1 female, same data as holotype; 2 males, 2 females, same locality as holotype, 22.v.1977, ANGA (UNAM).   
 Etymology: The specific epithet refers to the Mexican state of Nuevo León, from where this species is only known presently.   
 Description: Male. Head. White in ground colour; vertical markings brown; orbital markings pale brown; coronal suture black; frontal suture very narrowly bordered with pale brown band; frons with two pairs of spots ventrally, lateral ones small, circular, dark brown, median ones tiny, pale brown; eye black, IO/D = 0.9; ocelli white, ocellar field black; antennal socket bordered with narrow brown band; postclypeus with 10 rows of blackish brown spots at middle, fused with each other ventrally forming a large marking, ventro-lateral corner white, dorsal region without marking; anteclypeus brown. Antenna pale brown, pedicel and scape darker. Mouth parts brown; 4th segment of maxillary palpus darker.   
 Thorax. Prothorax brown. Meso- and metathorax mostly brown except membranous regions white; mesoscutum pale, anterior surface of anterior lobe brown, mesopleuron with broad longitudinal white band medially; anterior margins of meso- and metas- cutellum blackish brown; metascutum with white spot medially, anterior part of lateral lobe white, lateral lobe with white spot posteriorly.   
 Legs. Coxae brown; hind femur brown, fore and middle tibiae brown basally, white distally and each with pair of dark brown spots on ventral surface; tibiae pale brown, with dark brown portion at distal end; tarsi brown.   
 Forewing (Fig. 17G). Sparsely covered with small spots. Spots in cell a 1 distinct, subequal in size. Opposing spots in cell r distinct, posterior one very small. Proximal band narrow, strongly constricted at middle in cell CuA and just beyond fork of M + Cu. Distal band clear, narrow in cell r 5, broad in cell r 3. Spot on roof of cell m 3 large and dark. Submarginal spots apparent; spot in cell r 5 larger; spot in cell m 3 obscure. Marginal clouds faint, almost invisible except along each vein dark. Hindwing. Hyaline, cell CuP with large brown marking and few faint brown spots; veins brown.   
 Abdomen. White, each segment with blackish brown band except dorsum sparsely with blackish brown spots. Terminalia. Clunial arm (Fig. 27A) long and narrow, slightly sinuate, forming pointed free process apically, antero-ventrally with fleshy lobe covered with fine setae. Anterior margin of 8th sternum (Fig. 27C) with triangular extension; fusion with hypandrium broad. Epiproct lobe (Fig. 27B) slightly wider than long, dorsal margin sinuated, posterior surface almost flat. Paraproct (Fig. 27A); ventro-lateral band very short; distal process short. Hypandrium (Fig. 27C) with weakly rugose region laterally; left process slightly curved at middle, directed posteriorly; right process projected outward, then strongly bent postero-internally near base; median tongue broadened apically, apical margin almost straight, dorsal keel triangular. Phallosome (Fig. 27D): pseudoparameres broadly separated, short and narrow, longer than wide, gradually narrowing to rounded apex. Phallobase widest at anterior third, then narrowing to pointed anterior end.   
 Length. B 2.6–2.7; FW 2.8–3.2; HW 2.2–2.4.   
 Female. Colour and general morphology almost as in male; eye IO/D = 1.6. Genitalia: Egg guide of subgenital plate (Fig. 28A) broadened near distal end, apical margin slightly hollowed; dorsal surface of egg guide sclerotized laterally; body of subgenital plate with pair of tongue-shaped extensions anteromedially. Dorsal valve of gonapophyses (Fig. 28B) with short distal process; posterior lobe of external valve not strongly projected posteriorly. Internal plate as in Figure 28C.   
 Length. B 2.7–3.0; FW 3.1–3.5; HW 2.3–2.5.   
 Distribution: Mexico.
