Diagnosis Small size (male: 10.4; female: 11.3). Humeral angles triangular. Male. Pygophore trapezoidal. Marginal processes of dorsal rim triangular. Dorsal expansion of hypandrium narrow. Apex of paramere spatulate; apical and medial spines present. Vesica in a narrow tube, silgthly wider than ductus seminis. Gonocoxites 8 quadrangular; posterior third of sutural margins divergent. Female ( Fig. 13 ). Material examined: “ Dianópolis GO , Brasil 16-22.I.1962 J. Bechyné col.” ( MZSP ) . Gonocoxites 9 ( Fig. 13 , gc9) trapezoidal, longer than wide. Gonapophyses 9 ( Fig. 13 , g9) with 1 +1 hatchet-like sclerotized areas. Thickening of vaginal intima ( Fig. 13 , tvi) conical, tube like; long, with almost the same length as gonapophyses 9. Capsula seminalis ( Fig. 13 , cs) conical, two processes slightly surpassing the free margin of posterior annular flange ( Fig. 13 , paf), one surpassing middle of pars intermedialis ( Fig. 13 , pi). Distribution Bolivia (Santa Cruz, Cochabamba), Brazil (RN, TO, MG, RS). Fig. 13. Chloropepla paveli female internal genitalia. Abbreviations: aaf, anterior annular flange; ch, chitinellipsen; cs, capsula seminalis; dr, ductus receptaculi; g9, gonapophyses 9; gc9, gonocoxites 9; paf, posterior annular flange; pco, pars communis; pi, pars intermedialis; tvi, tickening of vaginal intima. Scale bar = 1 mm. Phylogenetic considerations Chloropepla paveli forms a monophyletic group with C. vigens and C. luteipennis , which is supported by presence of processus phallothecae 1 ( 321 ).
