Drymeia sororcula sp. nov. Figs 31–37 Diagnosis. This species is close to D. brumalis (Rondani, 1866) which also has 3 postsutural dorsocentrals. However, the male of D. brumalis has frontal vitta equal to diameter of anterior ocellus; mid and hind femora with the anteroventral and posteroventral setae longer, denser and more numerous; hind tibia with the anteroventral (and anterior) and posteroventral setae more numerous and dense (only 3–4 posteroventrals and 3 anteroventrals in D. sororcula). Both sexes of D. brumalis lack the ventral scutellar setulae of D. sororcula. Etymology. The specific name “ sororcula ” is Latin and means “little sister”. This reflects the close similarity between this species and D. brumalis (Rondani). Type-material Examined. Holotype ♂.
