Oukuriella angelomachadoi Bellodi, Fusari & Roque, 2016, sp. nov.

Oukuriella angelomachadoi sp. nov.

(Figures 1–2)

Material studied. Holotype male, BRAZIL, Paraná, Boa Vista da Aparecida, UHE Salto Caxias, 25°32’35.68”S, 53°29’48.04”W, 24.viii.2005, light trap, leg.: Soares (MZUSP). Paratype: 1 male, with the same data as holotype (MZUSP).

Etymology. The species is named after Angelo B. M. Machado on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

Diagnosis. Oukuriella angelomachadoi sp. nov. differs from other species of the genus by the following characteristics: male, wings with light dark markings, thorax without scutal tubercle, absence of bands on tergite, posterior margin of tergite IX with rounded lateral projections, concavity width between these projections two times greater than its depth, superior volsella pediform with large digitus, inferior volsella with simple setae. Oukuriella angelomachadoi sp. nov. closely resembles Oukuriella rimamplusa Fusari et al. 2013, from which it can be distinguished by the shape of the superior volsella and markings on wings.
