Fig. 10A

Distribution: Brazil: Paraná; Bolívia: Santa Cruz.

New record for Brazil and for the Paraná State.

Comments: The female of the species was recorded for the first time. Additionally, this is the first record of the species after its original description, and also the first record of this species for Brazil. The subgenital plate of the female bears a peculiar morphology, as its apex has a shape resembling the “M” letter, with a large and well delimited base that resembles an inverted “B”. The ovipositor is short, slightly longer than the double of the length of the cerci, abruptly curved upwards, with dorsal valves curved at the first basal quarter, the remaining straight, with teeth at the last quarter.

Bioacoustics: Sound not recorded.
