Epipleoneura parmula sp. nov. (Odonata: Coenagrionidae: Protoneurinae) from Amazonian Ecuador

Epipleoneura parmula sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on males from eastern Ecuador (holotype: , ECUADOR, Orellana Province, Primavera, Laguna Taracoa {0.4652S, 76.7638W}, 247 m, 27 July 1977, Dennis R. Paulson & Susan Hills leg., in FSCA). Using the most recent synopsis of the genus (Pessacq 2014), the new species keys to the couplet separating E. pallida Rcenis and E. ocuene De Marmels, but unlike in those species, the epiproct branches are longer, fused nearly their entire length and their tips are accentuated. Adults were collected at a lake and several ponds, indicating that the habitat is lentic, although the nymph is unknown.
