New records, and nomenclatural and biological notes on Reduviidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from Bolivia and Brazil Author Gil-Santana, Hélcio R. text Zootaxa 2008 1785 43 53 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.182460 a064f486-4831-4bd3-80c8-c0465baf2b3b 1175-5326 182460 Heza gilsantanai Bérenger, 2007 Heza gilsantanai was recently described based on two males from French Guiana . The female from state of Pará, Brazil is very similar to the description furnished by Bérenger (2007) ( Figs. 4–9 ). Remarks. The mesepisternum of H. gilsantanai is flat, without a raised tubercle (“ plica” ) ( Fig. 6 ), the character mostly used to separate Heza spp. from members of other close genera ( Champion 1898 ; Maldonado 1976 ). There are very few differences between the description of the species by Bérenger (2007) and the specimen examined, as follows. Total length: from tip of membrane 16.5 mm, and 16.0 mm to tip of abdomen. Connexivum with pale markings in middle portion of segments I–VI; central portion of 7th sternite with oval blackish depression with mildly elevated borders ( Fig. 8 ). The ventral part of the 8th segment is absent ( Fig. 9 ). Material examined: BRAZIL , 1 female , Pará , Serra Norte, Ig.[uarapé] Pojuca, 27-II-1984 [ MNRJ ].
