Peckia (Pattonella) smarti ( Lopes, 1941)

( Figs 26–28 , 63–68 )

Description of female terminalia. Posterior margin of T5 elliptical, black with silver spots ( Figs 66–68 ). T6

divided into two halves, brown with golden microtrichosity and a silver spot on anterior margin, and with a row of setae near posterior margin. Spiracles 6 and 7 located on T6. T8 absent ( Figs 63, 66 ). Epiproct absent. Cercus covered with long and fine setae. Hypoproct triangular, with long and fine setae ( Fig. 64 ). ST6 oval, covered with setulae and with robust setae near posterior margin. ST7 with three small lobes and a few setae near posterior margin. ST8 square, with long and fine setae near posterior margin ( Fig. 63 ). Spermathecae pyriform, with segmental constrictions throughout their length ( Fig. 65 ).

Material examined. BRAZIL. Amapá: Serra do Navio , XI.1997, leg. P. Magno (1 ♀, MNRJ) ; Floresta Nacional do Amapá, 5.X.2016, leg. H.C. Antunes (1 ♂, MPEG) . Amazonas: Manaus, Reserva Ducke, 9.I.2005, on rotting beef lung, leg. A. Pena (2 ♂♂, MPEG) . Mato Grosso: Sinop , X.1975, leg. Alvarenga & Roppa (1 ♀, MNRJ) . Pará: Belém, Aurá (1 ♀, MNRJ) ; Jari, Pacanari, 22.XI.2006, on rotting beef lung, leg. T. Gardner (1 ♂, MPEG); same data but 16.XI.2005 (1 ♂, MPEG) . São Paulo: Campos do Jordão , leg. Lopes & Izecksohn (1 ♀, MNRJ) .

Distribution in Brazil. Amapá, Amazonas, Pará, São Paulo *.

Remarks. Females of P. (P.) intermutans and P. (P.) smarti share T6 divided with a short posterior membranous region, spermatheca pyriform and epiproct absent ( Figs 63–65 ). Peckia (P.) intermutans can be differentiated from P. (P) smarti by the presence of T 8 in the second species.
