Diagnosis.

Body length: male 7–7.5 mm (n = 2), female: 9 mm (n = 1). Among the species of Serichlamys with a yellow face, this species can be identified by the following combination of characters: abdomen with greatest width at transition of tergites 2 and 3, scutellar calcars acute (not flattened or spoon-shaped), antennae pale brown, legs entirely brown with femora only slightly darker than tibiae. Male genitalia as in Fig. 146. The female cannot be distinguished with certainty from specimens of S. serpentiphallus Reemer, sp. nov. and S. simpliciphallus Reemer, sp. nov.

Distribution.

This species is known from the Brazilian states São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
