(Saul, center of village, French Guiana ) REMARKS.—The claspers bifurcate at their terminus and bend towards the midline and the basal pygofer lobes are rounded finger-like extensions. The abdominal tergites lack the anterior transverse piceous mark in T. sauliensis that is found in T. crispula . The transverse mark in the pronotal ambient fissure is a single mark in T. hastifera but split into three parts in T. sauliensis whose claspers bifurcate at the terminus rather than being claw-like as found in T. hastifera ( Sanborn 2017a ) . DISTRIBUTION.—The species is currently known from Ecuador , French Guiana , Colombia , Peru , and Trinidad & Tobago ( Duffels & van der Laan 1985 ; Sanborn 2013; 2017a; 2020b, e) with a recent range expansion into Venezuela ( Sanborn 2020a ). The species was recently added to the fauna of Ecuador ( Sanborn 2017a ) with representatives from Orellana province studied.
