REMARK
Serville (1831)
described this species on one male and one female, which he considered immature (but see
Saussure 1874
,
1878
). The male type is correctly identified in the MNHN collection. One additional female is identified
Phalangopsis longipes
Serv.
in Serville’s handwriting, but it has posterior locality labels (
Guyane
française, Saint Laurent du Maroni, Collection Le Moult / septembre). It may have been labelled in a second time by error, as three other females have the same origin. This female may represent the female
syntype
observed by Serville (MNHN-EO-ENSIF6828).

REMARK
The length of the ovipositor of the females collected in Mitaraka is variable (see
Table 1
), but extends the values given earlier for the species (Desutter-Grandcolas 1992a,
13.6-16.6 mm
, mean 14.8, n = 9). The copulatory papilla is however very similar to that reported for that species in the same paper. The number of tergites with yellow bands on posterior edge also varies in the material at hand, until the third tergite for the specimen SH116 (
Fig. 1A
). Male genitalia are illustrated on
Fig. 2
B-D.
