Stethorrhagus duidae Gertsch, 1942: 12, fig. 37, ♂.

Stethorrhagus duidae – Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: 59, figs 20a–b, 21a.

Diagnosis

Males of S. duidae resemble those of S. ovis sp. nov. by the VL bifid, dVL protruding and both vVL and dVL glabrous, without thick modified hairs (Fig. 27B–D; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 20b). They differ by the vVL long, bifid in the distal third, the presence of AS, and by the embolus wide-based, with SePP not protruding, with reduced apical prongs (Fig. 27C–D; Bonaldo & Brescovit 1994: fig. 20a–b) (vVL short, entire, AS absent, embolus narrow-based, with protruding SePP and well-developed apical prongs in S. ovis – Figs 29A–B, 30A–B).
