58C5CB9DE9A457E6B0E2E289CDD09BCB.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Paravelia intervalensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from the other species of the genus by the following combination of features: BL ~ 5.1 – 5.5; head, thorax, and abdomen (except posterior margin of sternum VII) not covered by small black denticles; humeral angle not spinose (Figs 2 A, C, 4 A); forewings without bubble-like structures, with a pair of elongated yellow maculae basally and a small diamond-shaped white macula apically (Figs 2 A, C, 4 A); yellow maculae reaching humeral angles and white macula far from apex of forewings (Figs 2 A, C, 4 A); venter of abdomen not covered by punctations (Figs 2 B, D, 4 B); male abdominal sternum VII without projections or lobes (Fig. 2 D); male proctiger without conical process at base, without lateral projections approximately at middle of length (Fig. 3 C); and male paramere with a dorsal notch in lateral view (Fig. 3 D). This species runs to couplet P. luederwaldti vs P. luisi Rodrigues & Moreira, 2022 in the key provided by Rodrigues and Moreira (2022). In P. luederwaldti, however, the apical macula of the forewings is elongate-oval and almost reaches the wing apex (Fig. 5 A), the male proctiger bears a conical process at base (Rodrigues and Moreira 2016 a: fig. 21), and the paramere is not notched at the dorsal surface (Rodrigues and Moreira 2016 a: fig. 21). In turn, P. luisi is lighter and more yellowish than the other two species (Rodrigues and Moreira 2022: figs 1, 2); has shorter, more rounded, basal forewing maculae that do not surpass the apex of the pronotum (Rodrigues and Moreira 2022: figs 1 A, 2 A, C); and bears lateral projections on the male proctiger (Rodrigues and Moreira 2022: fig 3 C).	en	Joaquim, Evaldo Alves, Rodrigues, Juliana Mourão dos Santos, Moreira, Felipe Ferraz Figueiredo, Dumas, Leandro Lourenço (2025): A new species and updates on Paravelia Breddin, 1898 (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Veliidae) in Brazil.
