Sisyra nocturna Navás 1932:155 [description]; 1935:67 [revision]; Monserrat 2005:10 [junior synonym of S. apicalis ] 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 ). Material examined.
