Adelopsis insolitus Szymczakowski, 1961: 144 [and Figs. 8–10]; Salgado, 2005: 963.

Adelopsis insolita; Gnaspini, 1996: 539 (holotype seen; spelling corrected to feminine gender); Salgado, 2005: 971 [and Fig. 20], 2010: 213 (assignment to group).

Type material examined: Holotype male in NHRS (Gnaspini, 1996: 541). Labels: “Sta Catharina / Nova Teutonia / Brasil. /5.1938 / Fr. Plaumann ”. Specimen here illustrated.

Length: 2.0 mm (original description); 2.05 mm (our measurement).

Type locality: Nova Teutônia, Santa Catarina State, Brazil .

Short Redescription. Eyes seem slightly reduced (Fig. 133). Winged [differing from original description, as apterous]. Arm of the right lobe of the aedeagus elongate, with apex bent internally (Fig. 131). Proportion aedeagus/ elytron = 0.40, considerably large in comparison with other species in the genus. Spiculum gastrale of the genital segment with a very short and wide base, with an almost straight margin, and divided at apex, with long branches (Fig. 132). Male mesotibia regularly curved internally (Fig. 135). Female unknown.

Distribution. Brazil: Santa Catarina State: known only from vicinity of type locality (original description; Salgado, 2005; here).

Taxonomic Remarks. The lateral view of the aedeagus (Fig. 130, with a prolonged projection, also seen in Fig. 10 in Szymczakowski, 1961), together with the frontal view of the tip of the right lobe of the aedeagus (Fig. 131), seems to help in the recognition of this species, as well as a slightly reduced eye. Although our figures of the aedeagus are somewhat confusing because we did not add many details, we understand they are still useful for species recognition.
