Heza sericans
Stål, 1859
(

Heza sericans
was described from
Brazil
(
Stål 1859
), then recorded from
French Guiana
only by
Villiers (1971)
. Subsequent publications on the genus (
Maldonado 1976
,
1983
,
1990
) omitted this record, therefore it seemed advisable to confirm its presence in this country here. The species was redescribed by
Maldonado (1976)
and may be recognized by the diagnostic criteria of the conspicuous annuli on first antennal segment, veins of membrane being whitish basally, and the three-spined connexival segments.
