SURINAME: Sipaliwini District
: Same data as holotype (NZCS, SEMC, 10, including DNA voucher SLE 415); same, except "sandy creek, trail to Kasikasima; flotation; 22.iii.2012; SR12-0322-02A" (SEMC, 1).
Differential diagnosis.
Aulonochares lingulatus
can be distinguished by its orange brown general coloration (Fig.

G-I
), and the shape of the median lobe of aedeagus, which is broad and flat (Fig.
2I
).
Description.
Body length 6.0-6.5 mm, width 3.2-3.6 mm. General coloration
orange brown (Fig.
1
G-I
). Aedeagus (Fig.
2I
) with outer margins of parameres subparallel, slightly diverging apically; median lobe flat, gradually widening towards apical region, widely rounded at apex.
Etymology.
Named with the Latin word
lingulatus
meaning tongue-like, after the shape of the median lobe of the aedeagus in this species.
Distribution.
Aulonochares lingulatus
is known from the area surrounding Mt. Kasikasima in Suriname and a locality in central French Guiana (Fig.
3
).
Remarks.
All specimens were collected in densely forested sandy streams (Fig.
4A
).
