Description
Cibyra endyra C. Mielke, 2015
Pl. 4: Figs 16 –17, Pl. 11: Fig. 4, Pl. 15: Fig. 10, Pl. 20: Fig. 6
Cibyra endyra: Mielke (2015: 12; figs 1a–b (holotype ♂ dorsal/ventral), 2a–b (♀ female), 14 (holotype ♂ abdominal segment VIII), 15 (holotype ♂ gen.), 16 (holotype phallus), 23 (geographical distribution)); holotype ♂ with the following labels: / Holotypus, Cibyra endyra C. Mielke det. 2014/ 22. I. 2004, Pedra do Baú, São Bento do Sapucaí, 1800 m, SP, Brasil. Pereira leg./ CGCM 9.368 / DZ 15.573/ BC-CGCM [BC-JX215633]/; DZUP (examined).— Grehan et al. (2023: 75).
Diagnosis. This and the previous two species have a similar wing ornamentation and male genitalia, especially the nearly right-angled corner of projection of the posterior portion of the saccus (Pl. 15: Figs 8–10; see arrows). However, some attributes in the male genitalia are diagnostic. In C. endyra the posterior margin of the saccus is clearly V-shaped (Pl. 15: Fig. 10; right arrow), whereas in C. ykeyra and C. hannelore sp. nov., it is concave (Pl. 15: Fig. 8–9). In addition, the tergal lobe of C. endyra is as simple as in C. hannelore sp. nov., while in C. ykeyra, it bears a protrusion mesally (see upper arrow). The genital apparatus is 1.15 to 1.3× larger in C. ykeyra.
