Heniartes productus
Stål, 1866
(
Figs. 37–38
)
Discussion:
The male
holotype
of
H. productus
was redescribed by
Wygodzinsky (1953)
, without later references in the literature. The extended and somewhat laterally compressed scutellum (
Fig. 37
), the pair of acute lateral processes on the pygophore rim, and the double medial process (
Fig. 38
), are diagnostic to this species. The male examined here (
Figs. 37–38
) fits the redescription of the species (
Wygodzinsky 1953
), except that the apex of the corium is orange (
Fig. 37
), whereas in the
holotype
it is black (
Wygodzinsky 1947
,
1953
).
Distribution:
Heniartes productus
was described by
Stål (1866)
from “
Brasilia
borealis”, quite likely what is nowadays
Brazil
. This is the first time this species is recorded from an exact locality.
