( Fig. 4 ) Rhopalessa rubroscutellaris ; Clarke et al., 2011:336 (error of identification). Diagnosis: Males of Rashelapso schmidi sp. nov. are characterized by: antennae proportionally short; prothorax reddish; elytra with triangular, reddish fascia centred on the scutellum. Male ( Fig. 4 ): integument blackish. Area of head adjacent to prothorax encircled by reddish band, projected between superior ocular lobes; prothorax completely reddish; mesosterna reddish; elytral base with narrow triangular fascia centred on scutellum, which may reach the humeri; scutellum reddish; antennomeres V-XI basally annulated with orange. Rostrum, margins of inferior ocular lobes, and area between superior ocular lobes with grayish-white pubescence. Distance between inferior ocular lobes equal to one tenth width of one lobe; and between superior lobes less than three times width of one lobe. Length of antennae 1.5 length of elytra; length of antennomeres VIII-X subequal, shorter than XI. Midline of pronotum elevated and moderately wide, slight passing middle of pronotum; punctation coarse and abundant, in part confluent, finer and sparser on apical area of disc; disc with mixture of very short and long hairs. Elytra with mixture of short and long hairs, the latter restricted to basal third; punctation coarse and abundant throughout; elytral margins slightly contracted at middle; apex convex, and narrowly round- ed. Prosternum almost glabrous for apical third; rest of prosternum, and meso- and metasternum with mixture of dense, grayish-white, recumbent pubescence and longer, sparser, semi-erect hairs. Femora with moderately conspicuous mixture of long and short hairs. Urosternites with mixture of short, grayish-white pubescence and longer hairs; centre of urosternite V without brush of hairs.

Rashelapso schmidi sp. nov. , holotype male, dorsal habitus. Variation ( paratype ): mesosterna brownish; antennal length equal to 1.4 times elytral length. Dimensions in mm ( 2 males ): Total length (including mandibles), 6.00-6.70; prothoracic length, 1.25-1.40; anterior prothoracic width, 0.80-0.90; posterior prothoracic width, 0.90-1.00; humeral width, 1.10-1.25; elytral length, 4.10-4.60. The largest dimensions are those of the holotype . Type material: BRAZIL , Mato Grosso : Utiariti ( Rio Papagaio ), holotype and paratype males, 01-12. XI.1966 , Lenko & Pereira col. ( MZSUP ) . Etymology: The species is dedicated to Herbert Schmid in recognition of his help with our work on the Rhinotragini .
