Kempnyia gracilenta Enderlein 1909

Description

Kempnyia gracilenta (Enderlein 1909)

(Fig. 1)

Acroneuria gracilenta Enderlein 1909: 397.

Eutactophlebia gracilenta, Klapálek 1916: 67. ─ Jewett 1960: 175. ─ Zwick 1973a: 490. Kempnyia gracilenta, Zwick 1983: 179. ─ Froehlich 1984: 153.— Zwick 1988: 179.— Froehlich 2010:181.

Remarks. Described by Enderlein from the State of Espírito Santo, it occurs also in Rio de Janeiro (Jewett 1960) and in São Paulo and Minas Gerais states (Froehlich 1984). In the Campos do Jordão area it was collected in Eugênio Lefèvre, on the southern slope of the mountains at an altitude of 1200 m, but not on the plateau. The putative female of K. tamoya (Froehlich 1984, figs. 29–31) belongs, in fact, to this species, a species that shows some variation in the shape of the female subgenital plate.

In contrast, the female taken as belonging to K. gracilenta (Froehlich 1984, Figs. 1–3) belongs to K. tamoya.
