Spiroberotha tocantinensis Machado & Krolow, 2016
(Figs. 9, 10-16)
Diagnosis. S. tocantinensis (Fig. 10) are recognized by the combination of the following morphological characteristics: a. forewing weakly falcate, Sc and R fused on the pterostigma, one radial crossvein, three or four Rs longitudinal veins, six inner gradate crossveins and two outer gradate (Fig. 11); b. male terminalia: ectoproct with a hooklike projection on the tip; tenth gonocoxite (mediuncus) spirally coiled (Figs. 15-16); eighth sternite with a thin projection on each posteroventral corner, each projection with tip slightly curved dorsally, and bearing one strong setae on the tip (Figs. 15-16); ninth sternite with a pair of projections on posterior margin, each projection straight with two strong setae on the tip (Figs. 15-16) and, c. female terminalia (Figs. 12-14): eighth gonocoxite extending downwards, subtriangular, with posterior margin rounded and bearing two elongate lateral tubercles (Figs. 12-13); ninth tergite and ectoproct fused with the ventral margin expanded downward with tip rounded and bearing some long setae (Figs. 12-13); ninth gonocoxite with posterior margin rounded and set with black setae and ventral margin bearing hypocaudae (Figs. 12-13); hypocaudae very long covered with elongate pale setae, mainly on the internal face (Figs. 12-13) (Machado and Krolow 2016) and, bursa-copulatrix-spermatheca complex comprising a small, sclerotized ball-shaped element; a short fertilization canal and elongate spermathecal duct expanded apically (Fig. 14).
Geographical distribution (Fig. 9): S. tocantinensis was known only from Palmas, Tocantins state, Brazil, its type locality (Machado and Krolow 2016; Machado and Martins 2019); this new record extends its geographic distributional range about 400 km southeast from the type locality.
