cavernicola sp. nov. is here described and illustrated, based on male and female specimens collected in caves located in an ecotone region between the Brazilian Savannah (Cerrado biome) and the Atlantic Forest, in Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil. Illustrations are provided of 19 types of variation in the fore and hindwings veins of males and females. Illustrations are presented of the holotype of L. maracaensis Garca Aldrete, along with illustrations of 18 types of variation in the fore and hindwing veins of males and females. Additionally, a new methodology applied in some specimens of L. maracaensis to process the genital pieces allowed us to know the arrangement and delimitations of each of the sclerites and their possible position during copulation. We therefore propose a phallosome taxonomic update. In these everted male genitalia, the spermatic sac and attached glands were identified for the first time. An identification key is presented to the Brazilian species of Loneura, based on males.
本文描述并图示了一种新种洞穴石蝇，该种基于在巴西东南米纳斯吉拉斯州巴西稀树草原（塞拉多生物群）和大西洋森林之间的生态过渡区的洞穴中采集的雄性和雌性标本。本文展示了雄性和雌性前翅和后翅脉的 19 种变异类型。本文还呈现了 L. maracaensis Garca Aldrete 的模式标本，以及雄性和雌性前翅和后翅脉的 18 种变异类型的图示。此外，在 L. maracaensis 的一些标本中应用的一种新方法来处理生殖器部分，使我们能够了解每个骨片的排列和界限，以及它们在交配过程中的可能位置。因此，我们提出了一个有关于生殖节的分类学更新。在这些外翻的雄性生殖器中，首次识别了精囊和附着的腺体。根据雄性，本文提出了一个基于巴西 Loneura 属物种的鉴定关键。
