| Abstract | |
Miambera miae n. gen., n. sp. is described and figured based on adult males from Mata Atlântica in southern Brazil. This genus can be separated from other Orthocladiinae based on the combination of hairy eyes; antenna with strong, subapical seta; decumbent acrostichals in the anterior third of scutum; bare wing and squama; R4+5 ending proximal to M3+4; anal point lacking; and tuft of strong, flattened macrotrichia on low, dorsal protuberance of tergite IX.
