Abstract: A new species of moth flies, Alepia bifida sp. nov., is described and figured
based on males, females and eggs. The type specimens were collected in central
Nicaragua, Cerro Musún Mt. This new species is characterized by unique
morphology of the wing, basiphallus, distiphallus and gonostyli. The genus
Alepia Enderlein, 1937 is one of the most diverse genera of Neotropical
Psychodinae (54 known species including the one described here), but it is so
well characterized morphologically that no generic synonyms have been proposed.
Key words: Diptera, Psychodidae, Psychodinae, Maruinini, Alepia, taxonomy, new species, Cerro Musún Mt., Nicaragua, Neotropical Region
