( Figs. 92, 93 View FIGURES 90–96. 90–91 ) (figs. 13–15 in Lopes 1941)

Paraphrissopoda (s. str.) nephele Lopes, 1941: 372 View in CoL . Trinidad & Tobago, Trinidad. Holotype male, in BMNH (not examined).

Description. Male. Head. Ocellar setae equal to or shorter than postoculars. Outer vertical seta stronger than postoculars. Black orbital setae. Four frontal setae situated below the dorsal limit of the lunule. Genal setae black dorsally, yellow or white ventrally. First two rows of occipital setae black, others yellow. Thorax. Chaetotaxy: acrostichals = 0 + 1, dorsocentrals = 0 + 2, intra-alars = 2 + 2 (anterior one shorter), supra-alars = 2 + 3, basal scutellars = 3. Prosternum and posterior surface of hind coxa with black setae. White or yellow and black antero-ventral scutellar setae. Two katepisternal setae. Postalar wall with only black setae. Lower calypter with a central dark spot and a fringe of long hair-like setae along outer margin, extending to its posterior margin. Mid femur without a ctenidium. Antero-dorsal surface of mid tibia with 1 median seta and 1 apical seta. Hind tibia with 2 setae in the basal third, 1 in the middle third and 1 preapical on antero-dorsal surface. Abdomen. Postero-ventral seams between T3/T4 and T4/T5 parallel. Microtrichosity of the abdomen laterally golden. ST1+3 with only black hair-like setae. One lateral seta on each side of T4. T5 with golden microtrichosity. Posterior seam of T5 not projected posteriorly and ventrally, and normal setae in postero-ventral area directed posteriorly. Terminalia. ST5 black. Medial margin of ST5 ∩-shaped. Inner margins of ST5 arms straight. Syntergosternite 7+8 longer than high in lateral view, orange, with golden microtrichosity. Epandrium bright orange. Cercus orange proximally and brown or dark brown distally. Cercus in lateral view progressively narrowing towards the apex, with dorsal margin straight, with smooth surface without a depression or tooth-like projection. Cercal apex acute in lateral view. Surstylus orange, triangular, with a rounded apex, with posterodistal surface less sclerotized (more smooth; lighter and more transparent colour) than the remaining surface. Pregonite tongue-shaped, curved in lateral view, with an undulated apex. Postgonite elongated, with a hooked apex. Basi- and distiphallus connected by a desclerotized strip. Juxta without demarcated connection with the phallic tube, as sclerotized as the phallic tube. Juxtal lateral plate short with rounded apex in lateral view. Distiphallus with a pair of lateral styli separated, each with a longitudinal cleft and strongly enlarged distally and appearing open in ventral view. Vesica with the ventral edge undulated, composed of two plate-like structures connected proximally and each with an acute, hook-shaped apex.

Distribution. NEOTROPICAL— Trinidad & Tobago ( Trinidad).
