Total length: 10.6–11.7; head length: 1.1–1.6; head width: 2.5–3.5; pronotal length: 2.1–2.7; pronotal width: 6.2–6.6; abdominal width: 5.2–6.4; length of antennal segments (I: 0.5–0.6; II: 0.9–1.4; III: 1.2– 1.8; IV: 2.2–2.5; V: 2.2–2.6). Male: Pygophore with dorsal rim rugulose, concave and furrowed; posterolateral angles poorly developed ( Figs. 1, 3 ). Genital cup processes subtriangular, curved, located lateral to proctiger; apex surpassing dorsal rim in lateral view ( Fig. 2 ). Parameres flat, slightly curved; anterior expansion large and subtriangular, distal margin straight; two distal expansions triangular, one directed anteriorly and the other posteriorly ( Fig. 4 ); apex not surpassing dorsal rim ( Figs. 1–2, 4 ). Dorsal face of proctiger as long as wide, entire, without a distal shallow concavity ( Fig. 1 ). Lateral face of proctiger slightly constricted ( Fig. 1 ). Lateral expansion of proctiger trapezoidal, narrow, curved and twice as wide as anal opening, projected dorsally beyond the dorsal face ( Figs. 1–2 ). Ventral rim with lobes developed, not reaching posterolateral angle level ( Fig. 3 ).

Scale = 1 mm). Female: Gonocoxites 8 narrow, separated medially, distal margin curved or sinuous; posterolateral angle projected and dentiform not reaching distal margin of gonapophyses 8 ( Fig. 5 ); usually gonocoxites 8 overlapping gonapophyses 8 but at the corner they are detached leaving a hole in between them. Comments. The P. stolida type (Museum Zoological, University of Uppsala, Sweden ) was examined by Pieter van Doesburg. Material compared with the type was examined, and the female is described here. Paraedessa stolida is recognized by the shape of the gonocoxites 8 and the parameres with two distal expansions instead of one like in other species; lateral expansion of proctiger trapezoidal, narrow and curved. Paraedessa stolida shares with P. albomaculata sp. nov. , P. cyanodorsata sp. nov. , P. paravinula , P. silvicola sp. nov. and P. subrentangulata sp. nov. the dorsal surface of proctiger whole, without a distal concavity. Lateral expansion of proctiger also present in P. albomaculata sp. nov. , P. cyanodorsata sp. nov. and P. subretangulata sp. nov. . Gonocoxites 8 are medially separated like in P. albomaculata sp. nov. , P. ecuadoriensis sp. nov. , P. heymonsi , P. paravinula and P. verhoeffi .
