Remarks.
First record for
Misiones province
.
This species can be distinguished from the other spe- cies of the genus by the pronotum transverse fascia of rugae between humeri in the pronotum; corium with a discoidal pale spot; and the scape and pedicel with a fine piceus line. In males, the posterior dorsal side of proctiger presents a pair of distinct spines, and the dorsolateral parameral processes projecting laterad, not at all curving mesad. In females the length of first gonocoxae from base at meson to posterior apex is greater than
1.7 mm
; and the length of the second gonocoxae at meson is greater than 1.0 mm (
Eger 1978
).
