03CF0539AA59FF80FEF4FB0AFB3CFDB6.taxon	description	The broad range of variations is founded not only among the specimens from different and distant localities, but also within specimens from the same sites, which is not very common in the species of this genus. In this series, there is broad range of variation, mainly in the notauli, in the paramere and ventral ramus of the aedeagus. The median lobe of clypeus is usually tridentate. The notauli are absent or present on the anterior third or half of mesoscutum, well­impressed or ill­defined, sometimes very narrow and inconspicuous, slightly convergent or divergent. Metasomal tergite II with pair of lateral depressions, widely separated each other, subcircular, with small tuft of hair, one of them distinctly longer (Fig. 20). Hypopygium with posterior concave, with small rounded median lobe, or weakly trilobate. Genitalia: paramere with apex narrow, rounded and arched inward, ventral margin excavated and with rounded lobe below the apex (Figs. 21 – 22) or with apical half narrower or wider, apex rounded, or slightly blunt, or with small dentiform protuberances or actually dentate, basal half wider or narrower, or slightly projected downward; ventral ramus aedeagus shorter than dorsal body, base very wide, narrowing up to the acute apex, inner margin parallel, outer margin very converging (Fig. 21) or with apex rounded, or very sharpened, or usually truncate and inclined; apical half little wider or with constriction below it; basal half wider or narrower, so that the basal can be distinctly wider or not in relation to the apical half; dorsal body aedeagus with two pairs of apical lobes, outer pair laminar, outer surface convex, apex thin and somewhat rounded, ventral and dorsal margin slightly convex in lateral view, inner pair stout, membranous, short, surface hairy (Fig. 22) or with ventral margin of outer lobe smooth, serrated or with rounded wide teeth.	en	Azevedo, C.

03CF0539AA0EFFD0FEF4FB9DFC44FE6E.taxon	discussion	Comments. — Azevedo (1999 c) described the genitalia of this species for the first time and made diagnosis based on the paratype, but there are some differences between this specimen and the the holotype analyzed here. In the holotype, the ventral ramus of aedeagus is horizontal, the dorsal lobe of dorsal body of aedeagus is more angled and the median lobe clypeus is tridentate, whereas in the paratype the ventral ramus of aedeagus is vertical and the median lobe clypeus is subtrapezoidal	en	Azevedo, C.

03CF0539AA0FFFD3FEF4FAA4FE32FE46.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. — Male. Length 2.94 mm. Mandible bidentate. Clypeus broadly projected forward, with small median tooth paralleled by small rounded expansion. Frons strongly coriaceous. Vertex straight, with rounded corners. Metasomal tergite II with pair of triangular and shallow lateral depressions, with lateral margin undefined, distant each other 3.6 X their diameters, with drop­shaped pit in the inner corner with tuft of very short hairs (Figs. 136 – 137). Genitalia: paramere unusually very wide, apex truncate, cuspis thick and long, aedeagus with ventral ramus short than dorsal body, with an arrow apical expansion, dorsal body with two pairs of apical lobes, outer pair as an elongate dome­shaped lobe, inner pair membranous, stout and hairy.	en	Azevedo, C.

Eyes bulging. Frons weakly coriaceous, punctures inconspicuous. Vertex convex. Pronotal disc depressed forward. Notauli weak, present only in the anterior half of the mesoscutum. Metasomal tergite II with a pair of very shallow lateral depressions, with a minute tubercle, with one distinct long hairs, outer margin of depression with a group of setae (Fig. 139). Hypopygium with median stalk long, posterior margin concave (Fig. 140). Genitalia (Fig. 141 – 143): paramere wide basally, narrowing to the rounded apex in lateral view, with a strong setae above, cuspis wide apically in lateral view, aedeagus with ventral ramus as high as dorsal body, with three long and conspicuous apical horns (Fig. 141), dorsal body wide, with two pairs of apical lobes, the dorsal pair stout and membranous, the ventral pair laminar (Fig. 142), vertical, with apex bidentate and directed downward (Fig. 143).	en	Azevedo, C.
