Abstract
In the present work, based mainly on material from environmental protection areas in the State of Espirito Santo, we describe a new species of Miroculis (Miroculis). The male imago of M (M.) caparaoensis, sp. nov. can be distinguished from other members of the subgenus by the following combination of characteristics: 1) dorsal portion of eyes on a short stalk, dorsal upper portion circular with 12-18 large-sized facets in longest row; 2) forewings with membrane translucid, longitudinal and crossveinsbrown; 3) abdominal color pattern; 4) posteromedian margin of styliger plate with small concavity; 5) penes length approximately 0.70 length of forceps segment 1. Miroculis (Ommaethus) mourei and M. (M.) fitt-kaui are reported for the first time from the region.
