Face flat, slowly becoming gibbous at ventral margin; mystacal macrosetae whitish or yellowish with a few brown to dark brown macrosetae dorsally and laterally; palpus with one segment; scape approximately two times length of pedicel; postpedicel discoidal, rounded at distal margin or conical, tapering distally and laterally compressed; first article of stylus short; second article of stylus with a distinct basal, ventral, laterally compressed, rounded, lobular projection in males (Figs 2A–B, 6A–B, 8A–B, 14A–B, 18A–B); in females there is only a slight dilation at base, ventrally on second article (Figs 12A, 22A); thorax integument colour ranging from yellow, dark brown, reddish brown to black; pruinosity whitish, yellowish or brownish; setae whitish, yellowish, brownish or black; wings yellowish translucent; legs yellow to brown; abdomen yellow to reddish yellow and brown; male terminalia (Figs 3– 4, 6E–G, 8E–G, 9– 10, 14E–G, 15– 16, 18E–G, 19–20) yellow to dark brown; T8 concave posteriorly; S8 rectangular; epandrium narrowing anterolaterally, articulating with hypandrium; epandrial arms slender, inward curved apically; cercus and subepandrial sclerite conical; hypandrium rectangular with a tonguelike projection at mid-posterior margin; gonocoxite boomerang-shaped in lateral view, inwardly curved apically in dorsal and ventral views; gonostylus situated proximally on gonocoxite with two rows of setae internally meeting sub-apically at ventral margin; phallus with two prongs; ejaculatory apodeme fan-shaped; female terminalia (Figs 12B–H, 22B–H) laterally compressed; T8 slightly longer than length of T6 and T7 combined.</p> <p>Taxonomic discussion. The main morphological character that distinguishes Cerozodus from other Asilinae genera is the second article of stylus with a distinct basal, ventral, rounded lobular projection, laterally compressed, in males (Figs 2A–B, 6A–B, 8A–B, 14A–B, 18A–B). Cerozodus shares with Lecania the absence of marginal scutellar macrosetae (Figs 2D, 6D, 8D, 14D, 18D). The previously described species of Cerozodus (C. brachylobus and C. nodicornis) have a discoidal postpedicel, rounded or truncate at distal margin (Figs 2A–B, 6A–B, 8A–B).</p> <p>In the present work the generic diagnosis is being broadened to include two new species (Cerozodus ayalai sp. nov., and Cerozodus platylobus sp. nov.) both of which have a conical postpedicel, tapering distally (Figs 14A–B, 18A–B). Additionally, the two new species have the rounded lobular projection ventrally on the second article of stylus (Figs 14A–B, 18A–B).</p> <p>Distribution (Fig. 23). Brazil (Maranhão, Piauí, Tocantins, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás and São Paulo). Cerozodus is currently endemic in Brazil, occurring in Cerrado and Caatinga biomes.</p> <p>The Cerrado (Neotropical Savanah) has a strong dry season during the southern winter. Its vegetation ranges from dense grasslands with sparse shrubs and small trees to almost closed woodland with a canopy of 15 m. Some of the trees are evergreen and others are semi-deciduous and deciduous (Ratter et al. 1997; Bueno et al. 2018).</p> <p>The Caatinga is a unique semiarid region of Brazil hit by long droughts periodically. It is part of the world’s seasonally dry tropical forests (STDF) and comprises a very heterogeneous environment ranging from open scrubland to tall, dry forest where most of the vegetation is deciduous (Queiroz et al. 2017; Silva et al. 2017).</p> <p>Specimens of Cerozodus platylobus sp. nov., were collected mostly in riparian forests and semideciduous seasonal forests (according to label data) which occur in the mosaic of heterogeneous vegetation within Cerrado (Fig. 23). Most of the specimens of this species were collected in the Biological Reserve of the Universidade Estadual do Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS) which is located in a transitional area between the Cerrado and Pantanal biomes (Fina &amp; Monteiro 2013). Based on label data, specimens of Cerozodus nodicornis and Cerozodus ayalai sp. nov., were also collected in riparian and semideciduous forest areas. This possibly indicates that Cerozodus species may inhabit the transitional areas between the grasslands with shrubs and trees with the riparian and semideciduous forest within the Cerrado biome and riparian forests within the Caatinga biome.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/567D875B5A40FFEFFF76ABC0FBE3F81E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Unknown. However, there is a single female specimen from the locality of Parque Nacional de Sete Cidades, Piauí state (Fig. 23 (indicated by a question mark)), which could possibly belong to this species. This locality is approximately 400 km away in a straight line northeast of the type locality of C. brachylobus. Through morphological comparison we discarded the possibility of this female belonging to any of the other three species of Cerozodus, being most similar to C. brachylobus.</p> <p>However, only the male holotype specimen was available for study, and the pruinosity of the thorax and abdomen is partially masked by greasing in this specimen. Additionally, this female is slightly smaller in body size and has the colour of legs slightly darker. This kind of intraspecific variation was also observed in other Cerozodus species and in the paratype of C. brachylobus (Vieira et al. 2013). Consequently, the hypothesis of this female belonging to a new species must be taken into account. Since we could not confidently assign it to C. brachylobus, we decided to suggest that the existence of this female specimen is an incentive to further collections in the same locality to gather more specimens and solve this case. The label data on this specimen is: “ Brasil, Piauí, [Parque Nacional de] Sete Cidades [04°05′59″S 41°42′50″W], Malaise Bananeira, 07–13.ii.2013 (1 ♀ INPA) ”.</p> <p>Variation.

Scutum with a hole posteriorly (after pin) (Fig. 5B); right wing with cell m 2 damaged at posterior margin (Fig. 6C); specimen dusty, mainly abdomen and terminalia (Fig. 5–6).</p> <p>Remarks. The description of the external characters of the male terminalia is based on the holotype (Fig. 6E–G), but characters after dissection are based on additional specimens from Batatais, São Paulo (Fig. 9–10). The specimen designated by Carrera (1946) as a neotype (Fig. 7–8) was not dissected but its external morphological characters were compared with the redescription of the holotype and other specimens and observed differences were commented on in the variation section.</p> <p>Female (Fig. 11–12). Similar to the male (Fig. 11), except that the second article of stylus with only a small dilatation basally, almost indistinguishable in some specimens (Fig. 12A), contrasting with the broad basal projection present in males (Figs 6A–B, 8A–B); terminalia shining black (Fig. 12B–D); T8 and T9+10 dark reddish laterally; S8 reddish basally and apically; T8, T9+10 with few scattered, short yellow setae; cercus with yellow setae; S8 with short yellow setae proximally mixed with some longer black setae; two spermathecae (Fig. 12F) reaching T7 (Fig. 12E); spermathecal ducts ending separately at genital fork (Fig. 12G–H); apodeme of genital fork approximately ¼ of the length of lateral sclerites (Fig. 12F), conical with triangular apex proximally (Fig. 12G) and a concave indentation distally (Fig. 12G), in lateral view with a dorsal keel resembling a Portuguese man o’ war (Fig. 12H); medial sclerite present (Fig. 12F).</p> <p>Variation. Carrera (1946) mentioned in his redescription that some degree of variation was present on the lobular expansion at the base of the second article of stylus. In some males it is as large as the postpedicel and in others as large as almost half of the postpedicel (Figs 6A–B, 8A–B). We also observed small variations on the shape of the second article of the stylus which is reduced and more enlarged in a few males, and also in the shape of the apex of the postpedicel which can be rounded, truncate or with its ventral margin more pronounced in the direction of the lobular expansion of the second article of the stylus; mystax with black macrosetae and only a few white macrosetae restricted to the oral border.</p> <p>Taxonomic discussion. As pointed out by Vieira et al. (2013), Carrera (1946) wrongly designated a neotype and allotype for C. nodicornis believing that the type material of this species had been lost. However, Schumann (1973) listed the type in the MfN collection. Thus, according to article 75.8 of the ICZN (1999), if the name-bearing type presumed to be lost is found still to exist, the rediscovered material becomes again the name-bearing type and the neotype is set aside. In this work, the redescription of C. nodicornis was based on the holotype described by Wiedemann (1828). The neotype and additional specimens identified by Carrera (1946) from Batatais, São Paulo state, were also compared and corroborated with the holotype described by Wiedemann (1828).
