Domodon zodiacus Reemer, 2013: 97 View in CoL –98, Figs 68–73.

Type specimen. HOLOTYPE: male, deposited at RMNH, and labelled: SURINAME: Paramaribo Zoo , 05°50’30”N- 55°09’29”W, Malaise trap, 18–27.II.2006, leg. M. Reemer. GoogleMaps

Comparative diagnosis (male). Body length: male 7 mm. The partly dark coloured tergites and the approximately equal length of scape and basoflagellomere set this species apart from Domodon incauleatus sp. nov. and D. sensibilis sp. nov., respectively. The dark median vitta on the face separates it from D. peperpotensis . From D. caxiuana sp. nov., it differs by the more extensive yellow markings on the tergites ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 24–27 ). In D. zodiacus , the yellow markings on the median part of tergite 3 reach from the posterior to the anterior margin ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 24–27 ), whereas in D. caxiuana sp. nov. these markings are confined to the posterior margin ( Fig. 24 View FIGURES 24–27 ).

FEMALE. Unknown.

Distribution. NEOTROPICAL—Suriname (Paramaribo) ( Fig. 28 View FIGURE 28 ).

Notes. See notes on D. caxiuana sp. nov.
