but we were not able to observe enough morphological characteristics to diagnose these specimens as a new species. The current information available on the South American biodiversity of the genus is very old and incomplete. In fact, the taxonomy on Neotropical

is still hard work. The revision on the Neotropical species is needed since many specimens of the genus are easily found in the field but they are usually hard to diagnose in species level. Many of the known species are similar to each other and differ only in subtle characteristics (Andrew Short, Personal communication). On the other hand, we cannot neglect the existence of these specimens in our fieldwork which would contribute to the hole in the biodiversity knowledge of the genus. Thus, we decide to present the morphospecies here with diagnosis and properly illustrated in order to provide information support and enables future research.
