Diagnosis
Similar to Coilodes humeralis, C. mayae sp. nov., and C. parvulus, it is distinguished from C. humeralis and C. parvulus in the subrectangular shape of the clypeus, four times wider than long with strongly rounded anterior margin. As in C. parvulus and C. mayae sp. nov., its male genitalia lack a dorsal lobe of the tegmen. However, it is characterized by the presence of a transparent region on the distal half of the right paramere.
Etymology
Noun in the genitive singular. Coilodes lunae Basílio & Vaz-de-Mello sp. nov. is named after Luna Basílio Dantas, niece of the first author.
