Comments.
Buenoa dilaticrus
resembles
B. tibialis
Truxal,
1957
in general appearance, including the color pattern. According to Barbosa
et al.
(2010a), in both species the head and thorax are yellow, posterior region of hemelytra and abdomen dark brown; rostral prong originating laterally on proximal region, shorter than the third rostral segment and with its apex rounded; the fore femur lacking a stridulatory area; internal margin of fore tibia apically projected; and the hind femur sinuous.
Buenoa dilaticrus
can be distinguished by its tylus being strongly inflated and rounded (
Fig. 13
); lateral expansion at the base of external margin of mid-tibia (
Fig. 16
); hind femur with a line of crests on internal margin, each one with a short seta at apex; and left clasper with hook well developed apically (fig. 17).
Buenoa tibialis
possesses a tylus slightly inflated (
Fig. 50
); mid-tibia enlarged at median region of external margin; hind femur sinuous with a line of short spines on inner surface; and left clasper with hook short and rounded apically (
Fig. 52
). The expanded mid-tibia of
B. dilaticrus
is very similar to that of
B. oreia
Nieser, Melo, Pelli,
De
Campos Barbosa, 1997
, although the last species does not occur in the Amazon Region and is distinctly bigger, including its distinct rostral prong, among other features.
