Cylindrostethus palmaris Drake & Harris, 1934: 222 View in CoL (original description).

Identification. Our apterous specimens were identified based on the body color mostly yellow, with the lateral black stripes of the pronotum as wide as the central yellow stripe ( Figs. 1D, F View FIGURE 1 ); the apex of abdominal sternum VII of the males emarginated medially ( Fig. 1E View FIGURE 1 ); the basolateral processes of the male proctiger shorter than wide; and abdominal tergum VIII of the female with the apex acute ( Figs. 1F–G View FIGURE 1 ) ( Floriano et al. 2016b).

Discussion. This species was previously recorded in Rio Grande do Norte from Parnamirim municipality by Rodrigues et al. (2012).
