Abstract

The male imago of Campsurus mirim sp. nov., an integrant of the C. major species group, is described based on material from a lake at the Rio Doce basin, Southeastern Brazil. It can be distinguished from other species of the group by the following combination of characteristics: small to medium size (body 7.3 mm, forewings 6.1 mm); blackish pigments on dorsum of head widely and strongly marked in fresh material; abdominal color pattern with pale transverse dashes on terga IIIVII; posterior margin of sternum IX triangular at middle; pedestals flat with inner margin broadly rounded and with both posterolateral corners (inner and outer) approximately of the same length, both acute; penes relatively wide and large, ventrally curved on apical and with apex of main lobe slightly twisted.
