Nepticulidae from the Amazon rainforest: first discovery of females of the enigmatic genus Dvidulopsis and description of the Acalypha-feeding Stigmella mariusi sp. nov.

Upon the first discovery, this publication provides the results of the examination and documentation of the female genitalia of Dvidulopsis Stonis & Diškus, an endemic Neotropical genus previously known only from male specimens. It also describes Stigmella mariusi Stonis & Diškus, sp. nov., a previously overlooked Acalypha-feeding species of Nepticulidae from the western premontane Amazon.
