Falcicaputis modica Prada-Lara & St Laurent & Weller & Fagua 2025, comb. n.

Falcicaputis modica (Dognin, 1924), comb. n. Figs 12G, H, 14F Type material: Holotype: BRAZIL: Obidos Amazones Brésil/ Dognin Collection/ Didugua modica ♂ Dognin / [illegible] Didugua sp. nov. / Type No. 30264 U.S. N.M./ Genitalia slide m MG Pogue USNM 51381/ Photo done by A. SCHINTLMEISTER #30.977/ USNMENT00991940/. Diagnosis. This species is most similar to F. praxia, particularly due to the elongate socii arms. However, the phallus is basally bulbous whereas it is thin in F. praxia (and in this respect, more similar to F. australis). The eighth sternite is wider in F. modica than in the other members of the genus and lacks a posterior projection present in F. australis. The condition of the single available specimen of F. modica is in too poor condition to provide external diagnostic characters. Redescription. Male: Head: As for genus. Thorax: As for genus. Forewing length ~ 11 mm (n = 1); Wings as for genus but in poor condition. Abdomen: As for genus but the VIII sternite broadly hourglass shaped, caudally with two projections and with a moderately long anterior projection. Terminalia: (Fig. 14F) (n = 1). As for genus but socii elongated, valvae narrowly triangular with short costulae and phallus thick, bulbous and short. Female: Unknown. Life history. Unknown. Distribution. Brazilian Amazon. Remarks. This species is known to us only by the holotype.

Abstract

Falcicaputis modica (Dognin, 1924), comb. n. Figs 12G, H, 14F Type material: Holotype: BRAZIL: Obidos Amazones Brésil/ Dognin Collection/ Didugua modica ♂ Dognin / [illegible] Didugua sp. nov. / Type No. 30264 U.S. N.M./ Genitalia slide m MG Pogue USNM 51381/ Photo done by A. SCHINTLMEISTER #30.977/ USNMENT00991940/. Diagnosis. This species is most similar to F. praxia, particularly due to the elongate socii arms. However, the phallus is basally bulbous whereas it is thin in F. praxia (and in this respect, more similar to F. australis). The eighth sternite is wider in F. modica than in the other members of the genus and lacks a posterior projection present in F. australis. The condition of the single available specimen of F. modica is in too poor condition to provide external diagnostic characters. Redescription. Male: Head: As for genus. Thorax: As for genus.
