Heteromeringia czernyi Kertész, 1903

(Figs 12–15)

Distribution. Widespread in the Neotropical region, occurring from Mexico to Argentina and several Caribbean Islands, namely: Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, Tobago, and Trinidad, and with many color variations (Lonsdale & Marshall 2007a).

Material examined. Brasil, PE[= Pernambuco], Fernando de Noronha, Tr. [trilha] Golfinhos, 3°51’17”S – 32°26’26”W / 27.vii–5.viii.2019, Malaise Gd [=Grande], J.A. Rafael, F. Limeira-de-Oliveira & L.C. Castro (1♀ INPA).

Remarks. Heteromeringia was characterized by Lonsdale & Marshall (2007a). The female specimen from Fernando de Noronha fits the following non-genitalic characters of the genus: three fronto-orbital setae (Figs 12, 14); interfrontal seta absent; outer angular extension on pedicel blunt and obtuse, inner extension on pedicel absent; all acrostichal setae uniform in size (Fig. 13); scutellum flattened and wrinkled dorsally; one small lateral scutellar seta; tibiae without dorsal preapical setae; subcostal break indistinct (Fig. 15). The female specimen fits H. czernyi species group by three fronto-orbital setae, a vibrissa-like anterior genal seta, and black thorax (Fig. 14). It runs to couplet 13 of H. czernyi in the key presented by Lonsdale & Marshall (2007a), except by postpedicel with outer side yellow and inner side predominantly brown (Fig. 12). Additionally, we identified it as H. czernyi because it is the only member of the H. czernyi species group with three fronto-orbitals and black thorax (Fig. 12).
