Abstract

A new species of Deinodryinus Perkins, 1907, is described from the USA, Texas: D.bimaculatus sp. n. Morphologically the new species is similar to D.masneri (Olmi, 1984), but it is distinguished by the head lacking a frontal line and the forewing crossed by two dark transverse bands; in D.masneri the head shows a conspicuous frontal line and the forewing is hyaline and without dark transverse bands.
