( Figs 92, 93 )

Dissomphalus microstictus Evans, 1969: 17 (Ƌ, holotype from Argentina, FIML, figs 14, 19, 30); Redighieri & Azevedo, 2006: 322; Alencar & Azevedo, 2008: 4, 6–7.

Diagnosis. Male. Mandible with two apical teeth. Median clypeal lobe trapezoidal. Frons strongly coriaceous, densely punctate, punctures shallow, large. Vertex straight, corner somewhat rounded. Ocelli large. Head developed posteriorly eye. Metapectal-propodeal complex with only median carina. T2 with two depressions shallow, large, subcircular, nearly reaching posterior margin of T1, each one with minute setay median tubercle, lateral area of depression with setae. Hypopygeal slender stalk, posterior margin straight, corner rounded. Genitalia: paramere very wide, dorsal margin very evenly developed, apex produced and sharpened; volsella setay, digitus smooth in upper margin; aedeagal ventral ramus extremely short, slightly higher than base of paramere, laminar, wide, surfaces horizontal, inner margin parallel, outer margin convergent, apex narrow and rounded, outer margin with an apical filament very long, nearly with same size of ramus, slightly arched, dorsal body large, laminar, surfaces vertical, base wider in dorsal view, body is very wide in lateral view, with rounded apex directed downward, ventral margin complex, serrated with rounded teeth, inner surface setay. Female unknown.

Remarks. Six specimens of D. microstictus were registered from Espírito Santo ( Redighieri & Azevedo, 2006). Alencar & Azevedo (2008) reidentified these specimens and transferred them to D. perturbatus and identified more two specimens as D. microstictus , and we add more 30 new ones.
