Tapajosa rubromarginata (Signoret 1855)

Diagnosis. Crown, pronotum and scutellum brownish, with small yellow spots irregularly arranged; forewings dark brown, with small yellowish spots arranged irregularly, and with reddish area along to costal margin; hindwing with vein R2+3 incomplete. Male: aedeagus symmetrical, with pair of dorsal processes, arc-shaped and pair of thin ventral processes.

Female terminalia. Abdominal sternite VII, in ventral view ( Fig. 18 ), with lateral margins slightly convergent posteriorly, lateroposterior margins obtuse, and posterior margin nearly transversely rectilinear; surface with numerous scattered microsetae. Pygofer, in lateral view, moderately produced posteriorly; surface with scattered microsetae. First valvifers, in lateral view, ovoid; with small spiniform processes on ventral region. First ovipositor valvulae, in lateral view, slightly rectilinear; dorsal sculptured area formed by scale-like processes arranged in oblique lines; ventral sculptured area formed by scale-like processes arranged irregularly; apex acute ( Fig. 38 ), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins. Second valvulae, in lateral view, slightly rectilinear; dorsal margin of blade bearing 25 to 26 continuous teeth, each tooth subtriangular with posterior side longer, with denticles on anterior and posterior margins ( Fig. 58 ); ducts extending toward teeth and toward apical blade portion; apex rounded ( Fig. 78 ), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins; preapical ventral prominence conspicuous. Gonoplacs, in lateral view, with small spiniform processes on ventral margin; apex rounded.
