Notocyrtus costai
Gil-Santana & Forero, 2009
(
Figs. 29–33
)
Notocyrtus costai
was described based on a single female from
Suriname
, currently deposited in MZUSP (
Figs. 29–31
). The female examined here (
Fig. 32–33
) seems very similar to the
holotype
, although some small differences in color are recorded: in the postocular portion of the head the large transverse blackish marking is continuous in the specimen from
French Guiana
(
Fig. 33
) and it is interrupted at middle in the female
holotype
, forming a pair of “large spots in dorsal portion of postocular area” (
Gil-Santana & Forero 2009
); in the pronotum, the transverse yellow stripe (Gil-Santana & Forero’s “transverse fascia”), between anterior and posterior lobes is somewhat narrower (
Fig. 32
), and the hind margin of third lobe completely blackish (
Fig. 32
) (pale yellow in the
holotype
,
Figs. 29–30
). Additionally,
Gil-Santana & Forero (2009)
recorded the total length of the female
holotype
11.0 / 13.0 mm, while the female from
French Guiana
measured 9.5 /
12.5 mm
to the tip of abdomen and hemelytra, respectively.
