Neotibilis (Neotibilis) manauara sp. nov.

( Figs. 5 and 6 )

Type locality. Brazil, Amazonas, reserve distant 60 km from Manaus

Type material. Holotype male, labeled: a) Bert Klein ; 13/XI/85; 1301-R.C.N.2 ( INPA) .

Etymology. The species name refers to the type locality

General shape ovate. Dorsal surface castaneous. Jugae stronglydeflected dorsally. Antennae ochraceous, punctured on reddish castaneous on the first and second segments; remaining segments lighter. Rostrum not reaching mesocoxae. Pronotum densely punctured on dark castaneous, anterolateral margins ochraceous, narrowly bordered on castaneous. Scutellum: basal angles with 1+1 ochraceous calli. Legs ochraceous, with a few reddish castaneous punctures on femora. Ventral surface of thorax regularly punctured on dark castaneous. Metasternal carina slightly sulcate, almost flat. Abdominal venter yellowish castaneous, lacking punctures on the middle. Abdominal tubercle acute. Connexivum with light area occupying from 1/3 to 1/2 of the middle of each segment, along outer lateral margin.

Male. Measurements (n = 1). Total length 12.85; head length 1.71; head width 2.39; eye width 0.68; interocular distance 0.91; anteocular length 0.57; length of antennal segments I –1.02, II – 1.33, III – 2.31; IV – 3.51, V – 3.43; pronotum length 2.73; pronotum width 7.12; scutellum length 5.50; scutellum width 4.17; abdominal width 7.36.

Pygophore ( Figs. 5, 6 ) subquadrangular, moderately open dorsally; dorsal rim sinuous, openly U-shaped along proctiger ( Fig. 5 ). Proctiger rounded apically. Parameres with finger-like portion elongated, well surpassing the auriculate portion. Posterolateralangles truncate. Ventral rim openly U-shaped ( Fig. 6 ); laminar flaps well developed, almost the size of parameres, inner lateral margin of flaps sinuous. Inner processes of ventral rim of pygophore in 1+1 small tubercles apart from each other.

Female unknown.

Comments. Neotibilis (N.) manauara sp. nov. can be distinguished from the other species of the subgenus mainly by genital characters, presenting the finger-like portion of parameres long and the laminar flaps of ventral rim large, almost the size of parameres.
