Toulgoetalna tavakiliani Boulard, 1982 new record

Toulgoetalna tavakiliani Boulard 1982: 181 . (Montagne Tortue, French Guiana)

REMARKS.—The constricted base of the male abdomen makes identification of the male very easy. The female abdomen does not constrict at the junction with the thorax as it does in the male. The female operculum is green, arched off of the abdominal sternites with a smoothly curved posterior margin extending over the anterior third of sternite II. There is a deep, rounded, single notch rounded laterally in female sternite VII with the posterior margin approximating a sine wave. Abdominal segment 9 is green with a fuscous ovipositor sheath extending beyond the dorsal beak (Sanborn 2011a).

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported previously only from French Guiana (Sanborn 2011a; 2013).

MATERIAL EXAMINED FOR NEW RECORD.— “ ECUADOR: Sucumbioe / E Nueva Loja, 5 km W / Parahuacu Oil Station / 1 Jan 1990 / TCMacRae” one male ( AFSC, from T. C. MacRae) .
