Description. Male. In addition to the characters of the genus. Small size (7 mm) ( Figs. 42 View FIGURE 42 , 44 View FIGURE 44 ). Coloration. Predominantly chocolate brown with black and ocher spots ( Fig. 42 View FIGURE 42 ). Head dark brown with abundant black spots ( Fig. 43A View FIGURE 43 ), and all antennal segments ocher ( Figs. 43B, C View FIGURE 43 ). Clypeus brown with black spots, labrum ocher with a dark transverse stripe on the proximal margin, and lateral margins outlined in brown; palpi ocher with diffuse grayish-brown spots ( Fig. 43A View FIGURE 43 ). Fore femur with the ventral half ocher and the dorsal half with dark brown spots ( Fig. 43D View FIGURE 43 ); mid-femur covered by dark brown spots ( Fig. 43E View FIGURE 43 ); fore and mid tibiae ocher with the dorsal edge blurred grayish-brown; hind femur brown, with the ventral external area black, and chevrons slightly outlined by black and alternating ocher ( Fig. 42A View FIGURE 42 ); hind tibia ocher with blurred blackish spots, mainly on the outer face; all tarsomeres light brown, with the distal section of the last tarsomere dark brown. Head taller than wide, eyes occupying a third of the cephalic capsule; space between the eyes as wide as the width of one of the eyes ( Fig. 43A View FIGURE 43 ); medial carina moderately protruding in the middle of the eyes in lateral view, protruding about a fifth of the length of the eyes, although it projects, it slightly surpasses the eyes in lateral view ( Fig. 43B View FIGURE 43 ); scutellum narrow, slightly widened; fascial carinae little divergent and almost parallel ( Fig. 43A View FIGURE 43 ), protruding in lateral view and rounded; lateral ocelli located near the fork of the frontal costa ( Fig. 43A View FIGURE 43 ). Antennae with 14 unmodified segments ( Figs. 43B, C View FIGURE 43 ). Thorax. Anterior margin of the pronotum almost straight, slightly produced in the middle; prozonal carinae developed ( Fig. 43C View FIGURE 43 ), pronotal apex acuminated in dorsal and lateral view, slightly downcurved in lateral view ( Fig. 42B View FIGURE 42 ). Median carina sub-elevated; internal lateral carinae slightly curved in lateral view; external lateral carinae finely denticulated and curved ( Fig. 42B View FIGURE 42 ); infrascapular area moderately widened ( Fig. 42A View FIGURE 42 ); lower margin of lateral lobes subtriangular-shaped and rounded; posterior margin of lateral lobe rounded, but not produced as a rounded prolongation as others species ( Fig. 43C View FIGURE 43 ). Legs. Fore and mid femora rectangular, dorsal and ventral margins slightly wavy ( Figs. 43D, E View FIGURE 43 ); hind femur with the antegenicular tooth poorly developed and genicular tooth moderately developed ( Fig. 42A View FIGURE 42 ); hind tibia armed with three or four small spines on each dorsal margin ( Fig. 42B View FIGURE 42 ). Abdomen unmodified. Tenth tergite constricted; cerci conical tapering towards the distal section ( Fig. 43F View FIGURE 43 ). Penultimate sternite mid-sized, 1.5 times longer than subgenital plate, and slightly upcurved ( Fig. 43G View FIGURE 43 ); subgenital plate short, cupuliform, upcurved ( Fig. 43H View FIGURE 43 ), and apex with a mid-notch, most conspicuous compared to the other congeners ( Fig. 43G View FIGURE 43 ).
Female. Similar to the male in shape and coloration ( Fig. 44 View FIGURE 44 ), differing in having 15 antennal segments ( Figs. 45A, B View FIGURE 45 ), the margins of the fore and mid femora are almost straight, and very slightly undulating ( Figs. 45D, E View FIGURE 45 ). It also differs in the ambisexual characters: Tenth tergite divided by a lanceolate plate that extends and connects with the epiproct ( Fig. 45F View FIGURE 45 ). Epiproct triangular, divided into three plates: two lateral quadrangular plates on each side, and a distal subtriangular plate with rounded apex ( Fig. 45F View FIGURE 45 ). Cerci conical tapering towards the distal section, diverging to the sides ( Fig. 45F View FIGURE 45 ). Ovipositor valves with normal development and covered with bristles ( Fig. 45G View FIGURE 45 ). Subgenital plate rectangular, wider than long, with posterior margin straight and a subtriangular extension in the middle ( Fig. 45H View FIGURE 45 ).
Measurements (in mm) male / female. CFP: 7.1 / 7.5–8.2. PL: 6.2 / 5.3–6.8. PLB: 3.2 / 3.5. FF: 1.5 / 1.5–1.8. FL: 1.2 / 1.3–1.5. MFL: 1.5 / 1.8–1.9. MTL: 1.3 / 1.6–1.7. HL: 4.1 / 4.1–4.8. HW: 1.8 / 1.8–1.9. HTL: 3.2 / 3.0–3.5.
Comparison. B. paraensis sp. nov. differs from the majority of congeners in the lateral lobes of the pronotum subtriangular with a rounded lower margin ( Fig. 43C View FIGURE 43 ), and also the hind femur has poorly developed antegenicular and genicular teeth ( Fig. 42A View FIGURE 42 ). The species most similar to B. paraensis sp. nov. is B. tani sp. nov., which differs in the moderately produced medial carina of the vertex, almost covered by the eye in lateral view ( Fig. 43B View FIGURE 43 ), the sub-elevated median carina of the pronotum, and the slightly downcurved apex of the pronotum ( Figs. 42A View FIGURE 42 , 44A View FIGURE 44 ). B. tani sp. nov. has the medial carina of vertex more pronounced, with a more pronounced fastigium ( Fig. 47B View FIGURE 47 ), the pronotal disc with the median carina moderately elevated, and the apex of the pronotum slightly upcurved (46A, 48A).
Remarks. One of the paratype females presents lighter shades, with an overall light brown coloration, but maintaining the same pattern as the other specimens.
Etymology. The name of this species refers to the state of Pará, Brazil, where it is recorded.
