( Figs. 102, 103 ) (figs. 38–40 in Lopes 1982a)

Euboettcheria dominicana Lopes, 1982a: 291 . Dominican Republic, Samana. Holotype male, in AMNH (examined).

Description. Male. Head. Ocellar setae stronger than postoculars. Outer vertical seta stronger than postoculars. Orbital setae black. Three frontal setae situated below the dorsal limit of the lunule in lateral view. Genal setae black dorsally, yellow or white ventrally. First two rows of occipital setae black, others yellow. Thorax. Chaetotaxy: acrostichals = 1 + 1, dorsocentrals = 3 + 3, intra-alars = 2 + 2 (anterior one shorter), supra-alars = 2 + 3, basal scutellars = 4. Prosternum and posterior surface of hind coxa with black setae. Antero-ventral scutellar setae black. Three katepisternal setae. Postalar wall with only black setae. Lower calypter with a central dark spot and a fringe of long hair-like setae along outer margin, extending almost to its posterior margin. Mid femur without a ctenidium. Hind femur with a row of antero-ventral and a row of postero-ventral setae, male hind femoral organ with setae very closely set in a patch. Antero-dorsal surface of mid tibia with 2 median setae and 1 apical seta. Anterior surface of hind femur with a black patch of setae near apex. Hind tibia antero-dorsally with 1 seta in the basal third, 1 in the middle third and 1 preapical. Abdomen. Postero-ventral seams between T3/T4 and T4/T5 parallel. Posterior seam of T5 not projected posteriorly and ventrally. T5 with golden and grey microtrichosity. Abdomen in lateral view with grey microtrichosity. ST1+3 with only black setae. Three lateral setae on each side of T4. Terminalia. ST5 orange. Medial margin of ST5 ∩-shaped. Inner margins of ST5 arms straight. Inner margins of the of ST5 arms without patches of setae. Syntergosternite 7+8 as long as high in lateral view, with golden and grey microtrichosity. Epandrium bright orange. Cercus orange proximally and brown or dark brown distally. Cercal base with enlarged and rounded lobes armed with spines, its thickness in lateral view becoming progressively reduced towards the apex. Cercal apex acute in lateral view. Distal half of the dorsal margin of cercus curved in lateral view. Surstylus orange, triangular, with a rounded apex. Postero-distal surface of surstylus equally sclerotized as the remaining surface. Pregonite tongue-shaped, with a rounded apex. Postgonite elongated, with a hooked apex. Basi- and distiphallus connected by a desclerotized strip. Juxta with juxtal lateral plate with three juxtal horns. Basal horn curved (but not or only slightly coiled) around the other two horns. The bifurcation giving origin to the juxtal lateral plates is deep and leaves the lateral plates not very close to each other. Distiphallus with a pair of lateral styli separated, each with a longitudinal cleft. Short vesica composed of one entire plate without demarcated connection with the distiphallus.

Distribution. NEOTROPICAL— Dominican Republic.

Material examined. Dominican Republic: 1 male ( Euboettcheria dominicana Lopes, 1982 , holotype), Samana, vi.2–6, 15 ( AMNH) .
