Tupirinna rosae Bonaldo, 2000: 133, figs 7, 20, 76, 86–88, 118, 327–329, 339–343 (♂ holotype from Reserva Florestal Adolpho Ducke, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, 21.XII.1992, leg. H. Höfer & T. Gasnier; deposited in INPA, examined).

Emended diagnosis. Males of Tupirinna rosae differ from those of all other species with the ventral lobe of RTA not divided basally ( T. platnicki sp. nov., T. regiae sp. nov., T. mutum sp. nov. and T. araguaia sp. nov.) by the apical spur inserted medially on the ventral lobe of RTA and by the presence of a TEP (Fig. 8B). Females resemble those of T. regiae sp. nov. by the copulatory duct developed anteriorly to the copulatory opening, but can be distinguished by the copulatory opening represented by an inverted V-shaped slit (see Bonaldo 2000: fig. 341).

Description. See Bonaldo (2000): 133–134. Additional documentation: Figs 1, 8.
