Abstract

Anastomoneura gen. nov. and A . guahybae sp. nov. are described and illustrated based on adult male and female specimens from the Mantiqueira mountain range, Minas Gerais State. This is the third genus recorded of the family Odontoceridae from South America. The new genus is characterized by the forewing anastomosis of veins R 4 and R 5 and male genitalia with a unique, tubular, projection dorsad to the plates of tergite X.
