Diagnosis.

This species lacks modifications to the prosternum and male metathoracic legs. The prosternal process is approximately parallel sided with the apex rounded. The male mesotibia is bent basally. The male metafemur and metatrochanter are unmodified (Fig. 76). The male abdominal ventrite VI is unmodified. The male median lobe in lateral aspect is basally small and subtriangular with the apical portion slender, sublinear, medially and apically recurved (Fig. 73). In ventral aspect the median lobe is broad with the lateral rami extremely slender, apically slender and pointed obliquely with medial broad emargination (Fig. 74). The lateral lobe in lateral aspect is long and complex. The apical portion is broad, apically truncate and variously and broadly lobed on dorsal and ventral margins. The basal portion is slender and elongate sub-triangular (Fig. 75). Specimens are broad with maculate elytra (Fig. 72).

Distribution.

Known from north-central Brazil (Fig. 102).
