Holotype female ( USNM ) (images examined, available at http://n 2t .net/ ark:/65665/397e42c5d-9088-4da3-8cb1-b52a5adf3732): “ ECUADOR , Napo , Reserva Etnica Waorani , Transect Ent. 1 km S.

Identification.According to GATES & HANSON (2009) B. chica is a small species, with about 4 mm long, with black mesosoma (except yellowish lateral pronotum) and yellowish lower face. Discussion. GATES & HANSON (2009 , p. 40), when describing Bephrata chica , stated that this species “can be distinguished by its black hind legs (except for the tarsi)”. However, when analyzing the holotype’s image, we verified that the hind leg of this specimen has coxa and femur almost entirely colored of yellowish brown, brown tibia, and yellowish tarsi. Bephrata chica has been found previously in EQuador , Peru and Brazil (AM) ( Fig 6 ) ( GATES & HANSON, 2009 ; NOYES, 2019 ). Only two specimens ( paratypes ) are known for Brazil , both collected in Amazonas state ( GATES & HANSON, 2009 ; NOYES, 2019 ).
