Dissomphalus dilatatus Azevedo, 1999

( Figs 195–196 )

Dissomphalus dilatatus Azevedo, 1999: 324 –325 (♂ holotype from Costa Rica, LACM, figs 32–35, 159–160).

Diagnosis. Mandible tridentate. Clypeus with median tooth. Tergal process with elliptical, deep and large depression with pair of tubercles and tuft of setae directed each other. Hypopygium with posterior margin concave. Genitalia: paramere arched inward apically and rounded; aedeagal ventral ramus short than aedeagal dorsal body with dilation below the apex; inner margin straight; outer margin convex; aedeagal dorsal body with two pair of apical lobes; outer lobe large with apex folded inward; inner lobe circular and setose. Apodeme extending beyond genital ring.

Remarks. This species is known from Mexico (Vera Cruz), Costa Rica and Panama (Azevedo 1999). Here more specimens are added. In this series the specimens are quite similar to those previously studied, without any variation that is worth to mention.
