Material examined. Ƥ ( DCBU): P. E. Serra do Mar, Núcleo Picinguaba, at Ubatuba municipality, in São Paulo State, Brazil, 21.I.2002. Sweeping. New record.

Comments. Previously know only from Mexico, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. The location of the holotype and two paratypes, intercepted at a port in Texas, USA, is unknown ( Hedqvist 1963; Infante et al. 1995). This is the only known species of the genera with a complete occipital carina. Other diagnostic characters are the presence of a deep and wide midventral groove on mesothorax, a very long ovipositor, about twice as long as body length, and the extensive dark brown body color.
