Barros, Brugnera &amp; Grazia (Barros et al. 2020a) describe the monotypic genus Prolatucoris, and related to Hypatropis and Pedinonotus by elongated body and dorsal facies. Prolatucoris species shares with Pedinonotus species the mandibular plates longer than clypeus and the configuration of female genitalia.</p> <p>Pedinonotus catarinensis and Prolatucoris mandibulatus Barros, Brugnera &amp; Grazia share a similar facies (Figs 203–204), length of labium similar (Figs 205–206) and internal female genitalia (shape and size of thickening of vaginal intima, and diameter and length of proximal ductus receptaculi) (Figs 211–212). Can be distinguished mainly by morphology of pygophore: presence of processes on projections of superior layer of ventral rim (Figs 207, 208), carina separated the layers of ventral rim and area between layers of ventral rim strongly excavated and covered with setae (Figs 209, 210), and morphology of phallus. The comparison of these genera is presented in Figures 203–212.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/038D720BFFA5FFE5C2FCC6F7B325FE35	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
