Comments. It is proposed to move Lutosa horribilis under the genus Neolutosa . This decision is based on the structure of the male’s tenth tergite, which projects into two subtriangular lobes. Neolutosa horribilis n. comb. is different from the male of N. aculeata , since the apex of each lobe of the tenth tergite in the latter species is pointed ( Fig. 13D ), in contrast to N. horribilis n. comb., which has the apex of the lobes rounded ( Fig. 13F ). The male subgenital plate of the two species is similar, except that in N. aculeata it is longer than wide ( Fig. 13E ), and to N. horribilis n. comb., is quadrangular, as wide as long ( Fig. 13G ). The styli of both species are similar, the outer borders are straight and the inner ones progressively curved towards the apex, this character can be used as an additional generic character to those studied in the original description of the genus. The female subgenital plate of N. horribilis n. comb., is triangular-shaped, unlike N. emarginata , ruling out that the emarginate subgenital plate is a generic character.
