Males of Nopsma leticia sp. nov. resemble those of Nopsma florencia by having a similarly shaped membranous keel on embolus tip (Fig. 6A, B, E, F View Figure 6 ), but can be distinguished by having a larger tegulum, one-third of the cymbium length (Fig. 2C, D View Figure 2 ), and by the thicker embolus and membranous keel (Fig. 6E, F View Figure 6 ).
