Abana haupti , Melichar 1926

Abana haupti Melichar, 1926 (Fig. 12) Abana haupti Melichar, 1926: 324 [n. sp.]. Young & Lauterer (1966): 264 [lectotype designated]; Young (1968): 150 [listed, out of subgenus]; McKamey (2007): 263 [catalogued]. Abana (Mesobana) haupti, Melichar (1926): 322 [key]; Metcalf 1965: 645 [catalogued]. Diagnosis. Body coloration (Fig. 12A, B) mostly ivory and castaneous. Head (Fig. 12A, B) and pronotum (Fig. 12A) completely castaneous, pronotum slightly darker near posterior margin; male forewing (Fig. 12A, B) castaneous, with two ivory transcommissural transverse stripes: one narrower at basal half and another preapical, aligned to clavus apex. Crown with anterior margin (Fig. 12A) broadly rounded; anterior portion (Fig. 12B), in lateral view, straight, not inflated; disk with a distinct depression; M-shaped elevation bordering posterior margin present and conspicuous. Connective (Fig. 12E) with arms slightly divergent; base of arms with a V-shaped dorsal rim. Style (Fig. 12E) with apodeme wide and long, 0.9 times as long as apophysis lenght; inner lobe rounded; apical portion almost as long as wide; not extending to connective apex. Aedeagal shaft (Fig. 12F–H) with anterodorsal projections slender and long. Dorsal connective (Fig. 12F–H) sclerotized; submedian acute process conspicuous. Redescription. Total length: male (n = 1) 15.2 mm. External structure. Crown anterior margin (Fig. 12A) broadly rounded. Ocelli located on imaginary line between anterior eye angles; each slightly closer to adjacent anterior eye angle than to midline of crown. Pronotum (Fig. 12A) surface without pubescence. Forewing (Fig. 12A, B) with punctures distributed throughout the membrane; base of the third and fourth apical cells at the same level. Other characters as in the description of A. dives. Coloration. Body coloration (Fig. 12A, B) mostly castaneous, including entire head and legs. Thorax (Fig. 12A, B) almost completely castaneous, except for posterior portion of the pronotum and the entire mesonotum, which are slightly darker brown, the latter with two black lateral maculae on anterior portion, before scutellar suture, not reaching lateral margin. Forewing (Fig. 12A, B) also castaneous, slightly darker brown basally and smoky light brown apically, and with two ivory transcommissural transverse stripes: one at basal half, not reaching costal margin, broad at corium but narrowing at clavus and another preapical, restricted to corium, broader, reaching costal margin, and aligned to clavus apex. Male terminalia. Pygofer (Fig. 12C) ventral margin, in lateral view, regularly convex until apex. Subgenital plates (Fig. 12C), in lateral view, almost reaching pygofer apex. Connective (Fig. 12E) with arms slightly divergent; base of arms with a V-shaped dorsal rim. Style (Fig. 12E) with apodeme wide and long, 0.9 times as long as apophysis length; inner lobe rounded; angle formed between preapical lobe and apical portion acute; apical portion almost as long as wide; not extending to connective apex. Aedeagal shaft (Fig. 12F), in lateral view, with preapical dorsal spiniform process extending to dorsal margin of lateral projections; anterodorsal projections (Fig. 12F–H) slender and long. Dorsal connective (Fig. 12F–H) sclerotized; submedian acute process conspicuous. Other characters as in generic description. Female. Unknown. Distribution. Peru (Junín Region) (Fig. 30). Material examined. Type material: Lectotype, ♂: PERU: Junín: “Chanchamayo\ Peru”, “ LECTOTYPE \ Abana \ haupti \ Melichar\ Young & Lauterer”, “Collectio\ Dr. L. Melichar \ Moravské museum Brno”, “Invent. c\ 3024/Ent\ Mor. Museum, Brno”, “Photographed by NMGW \ Entom\ image no: E003311”, “Photographed by NMGW \ Entom\ image no: E003312” (MMBC). Remarks. To date, this species is known only from the male lectotype. Its external morphology is similar to that of A. confusa sp. nov. and to some females of A. colombiana sp. nov. and A. horvathi s.s., mostly for the presence of two transverse light stripes on forewings (Figs. 12A, B, 26A, B, 29G–K). However, A. haupti can be clearly distinguished by its broadly rounded anterior margin of crown (Fig. 12A), and by its head and thorax completely castaneous (Fig. 12A, B). No COI sequence information was obtained for this species because the only specimen available is not only too old but is the lectotype.
