Remarks.
This species is widely distributed, being recorded from the southern
United States
to
Brazil
(
Oswald 2019
). In
Brazil
, this is the first record of
S. apicalis
from
Bahia
and
Pernambuco
states, in the Northeast Region of the country (
Figs 1, 3, 5–7
). This also constitutes the first record of
Sisyridae
to
Pernambuco state
.
The remarkable characteristic of
S. apicalis
is the straight distally projected male gonocoxite 9, with rounded apex and curving internally in dorsal view (
Assmar & Salles 2017
).
