INTRODUCTION
Triplocania Roesler (1940) is one of 12 genera in the psocopteran family Ptiloneuridae; it is the most speciose genus of the family, currently including 90 described species, with 38 species known only from males, 22 species known only from females and 30 species known from both sexes.The type species is Triplocania magnifica Roesler, from Nova Teutonia, Santa Catarina, Brazil.It was originally in Roesler's private collection; the Gaedike catalogue (1970) indicates that the type series would be deposited in one of the collections of the Deutschen Entomologischen Institutes (DEI) in Berlin, Germany and elsewhere in the Szczecin Museum in Poland.The collections that were deposited at the old DEI are now at the Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Berlin, Germany.One of us (AMSN) tried to contact both institutions to search for the type of T. magnifica, without success.New (1980) described Triplocania umbrata, on basis of two females from the Reserva Ducke, Amazonas, Brazil.Later on, García Aldrete (1999), studied one male and one female from the Río Tambopata Reserved Zone, in Madre de Dios, Peru, that he considered conspecific with T. umbrata, described the male, and illustrated the female.
The comparison of that female with the holotype of T. umbrata New, deposited in the Coleção de Invertebrados, INPA, Amazonas, Brazil, proved that the female from Peru is not conspecific with the females of T. umbrata, so that the specimens from Peru constitute an undescribed species.
Triplocania spinosa Mockford was described on basis of a male specimen from Guatemala in 1957 and to date the female remains unknown.
The purpose of this paper is to describe and illustrate the new specie from Peru; redescribe and illustrate T. magnifica and the male of T. spinosa Mockford, as well as illustrate and describe the female of T. spinosa and revalidate the original combination of Belicania cervantesi (García Aldrete).

MATERIAL AND METHODS
Fifteen specimens were available for study.They were dissected in 80% ethanol; their parts were mounted in Canada balsam: head, right antennae with distal flagellomeres and mouthparts (right laciniae and maxillary palps, right and left mandibles, labium and labrum), and right legs, right and left wings, and genitals.Before dissecting, the specimens were placed in 80% ethanol under a dissecting microscope, illuminated with cold, white light, and observed at 50X to record color.Standard measurements (in μm), were taken with a filar micrometer.Abbreviations of parts measured are as follows: FW and HW: right fore-and hind-wing lengths, F, T, t1, t2 and t3: lengths of femur, tibia and tarsomeres 1, 2 and 3 of right hind leg, f1…fn: lengths of flagellomeres 1…n of right antenna, Mx1-Mx4: lengths of segments of right maxillary palpus, IO: minimum distance between compound eyes in dorsal view of head, D and d: antero-posterior and transverse diameter, respectively, of right compound eye in dorsal view of head, PO: d/D.The final storage of the specimens was in "CD boxes" as described by Silva-Neto et al. (2016a).
Photographs of the specimens were taken with a Leica DFC500 digital camera attached to a Leica M205C stereomicroscope, connected to a computer with the Leica Application Suite LAS V3.6 software, which includes an Auto-Montage module (Syncroscopy software).The specimens of T. spinosa will be deposited in the Colección Nacional de Insectos, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México City (CNIN).The specimens of T. magnifica and the types of the peruvian species will be deposited in the Invertebrate Collection of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil (INPA).Triplocania Roesler, 1940: 239 Belicania García Aldrete, 2006a: 5 syn. nov.Diagnosis: Vein M of the hindwing unbranched; forewing areola postica high, short or long and sinuous, vein M of the forewing with three primary branches, occasionally dichotomously branched, resulting in M3 a and M3 b ; phallosome with side struts proximally separated or fused, fused or not posteriorly to external parameres, with or without transverse mesal sclerite, with two-five pairs of endophallic sclerites; hypandrium of one or subdivided in three, four or five sclerites, v1 slender or stout.
Diagnosis: Forewing with a U-shaped band from apex of the areola postica to anterior and posterior ends of pterostigma, forewing M abruptly concave before its first bifurcation, areola postica sinuous with a concavity in the middle; hypandrium of three sclerites, with central sclerite straight anteriorly, posteriorly with one short, almost triangular projection on each antero-lateral extreme, with a long, slender, blunt projection in the middle, setae as illustrated; side struts proximally expanded in shield shape and v1 stout and wider in the middle.

Redescription of the male
Color: Compound eyes black, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents; head pattern (Fig. 1).Scape brown, pedicel yellow, f1-f3 yellow.Mx4 yellow with distal end brown.Femora brown with distal ends yellow; tibiae pale brown; tarsomere 1 pale yellow and tarsomeres 2-3 pale brown.Forewing with a brown marginal band from R₄₊₅ to areola postica, from it arise two brown arms, to anterior and distal ends of pterostigma, U-shaped, leaving a hyaline area between them; a large dark brown area on proximal end of wing; veins brown, with dark brown spots at wing margin (Fig. 2).Hindwings almost hyaline, with area limited by CuP brown anteriorly and pale brown posteriorly, apex pale brown; veins brown, with dark brown spots at wing margin (Fig. 3).

Morphology:
Compound eyes without interommatidial setae.Outer cusp of lacinial tip broad, with three denticles (Fig. 4).Forewing pterostigma basally narrow, wider in the middle, narrowing posteriorly; areola postica with apex rounded, strongly slanted posteriorly; 2A reaching wing margin (Fig. 2).Hindwing R₂₊₃ and R₄₊₅ straight, M sinuous (Fig. 3).Hypandrium (Fig. 5) of three sclerites, central sclerite straight anteriorly, posteriorly with one short, almost triangular projection on each antero-lateral extreme, with a long, slender, blunt projection in the middle, setae as illustrated; side sclerites very large, wider in the middle, narrowing at the ends, acuminate, setae as illustrated.Phallosome (Fig. 6) shield shaped, side struts expanded, robust, fused, with a small longitudinal pigmented band in the middle, posteriorly fused to external parameres, these stout, distally sclerotized, bearing pores included in a less sclerotized area; a mesal endophallic sclerite, U-shaped, wide at base and narrowing posteriorly; two pairs of endophallic sclerites, a small mesal posterior pair, elliptical, surrounded by a distinct membranous area, a posterior lateral pair anteriorly narrow, widening posteriorly with rounded apex and a pre-apical acuminate projection in its inner margin; other membranous areas as illustrated.Epiproct wide, almost straight anteriorly, rounded posteriorly, with three setae mesally, other setae as illustrated (Fig. 7).Paraprocts broad, narrow at their point of attachment to the clunium, widening posteriorly, with setae in a less sclerotized posterior area, sensory fields with 34 trichobothria on basal rosettes (Fig. 7).

Redescription of the female
Color: Essentially as in the male.
Morphology: Head and wings same as in the male (Figs. 8, 9 and 10).Outer cusp of lacinial tip broad, with two denticles (Fig. 11).Subgenital plate broad, anteriorly almost rectangular, with sides converging to apex, pigmented area wide, V-shaped, setae as illustrated (Fig. 12).Ninth sternum almost rectangular (Fig. 13) anteriorly with a pigmented band concave in the middle, posteriorly with a pigmented band convex near the posterior margin, with a distinct weak sclerotized central area.Gonapophyses: v1 stout, anteriorly heavily sclerotized, wider in the middle, narrowing at the ends and distally acuminate; v₂₊₃ broad, narrowing posteriorly, with slender and curved inwards proximal heel; ten setae on outer lobe, distal process slender, short, distally acuminate, with a field of microsetae (Fig. 13).Epiproct triangular, with three setae mesally, other setae as illustrated (Fig. 14).Paraprocts almost triangular; sensory fields with 27 trichobothria on basal rosettes (Fig. 14).This assemblage is characterized by having a U-shaped band from the apex of the areola postica to the anterior and posterior ends of pterostigma, forewing M abruptly concave before its first bifurcation, side struts proximally expanded in shield shape and v1 stout and wider in the middle.Triplocania magnifica is easily separated from the other two species of this assemblage by having the hypandrium of three sclerites instead of five sclerites as in T. manueli and T. rosae.Roesler (1940) in the description and illustration of the hypandrium of T. magnifica omitted or did not observe the presence of the lateral sclerites (see fig. 30 in Roesler, 1940).The central sclerite of the hypandrium of the specimens of T. magnifica used here in the redescriptions is identical to the illustration in Roesler (1940) and this, besides the fact that they were collected in the type locality of the species (Nova Teutônia) prove that they belong to T. magnifica.

Redescription of the male
Color: Compound eyes black, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents; head pattern (Fig. 15).Scape brown, pedicel yellow, f1 with pre-apical region brown and apex white, f2-f3 anteriorly brown, posteriorly yellow, with pre-apical region brown and apex white, f4-f5 brown with apex white.Femora yellow with two alternating brown bands, tibiae and tarsomeres 1-3 yellow.Forewing (Fig. 16), with one brown spot on apex of areola postica, distal border of cu1 brown and, pterostigma with brown bands anteriorly and posteriorly; veins brown, with brown spots at wing margin (Fig. 16).

Description of the female
Color: Essentially as in the male.

García Aldrete rev. comb.
tics of other Triplocania species described recently, put in doubt the new combination proposed by García Aldrete in 2006.Based on the above information, Belicania is being synonymized with Triplocania.
