Cyphotes quadrinodosos [sic] Fonseca & Diringshofen, 1969: 155 (New species, type loc.: Brazil, Santa Catarina: Rio Vermelho). Cyphotes quadrinodosus [sic] Fonseca & Diringshofen, 1969: 156; McKamey, 1998: 469 [Catalogued]; Sakakibara, 2005: 464 [comb. nov.: Aspona quadrinodosa; photograph].

Description. (Modified from Fonseca & Diringshofen, 1959). Color. General color light brown, coronal suture, dorsal area of pronotum, and posterior pronotal process dark brown. Sculpture. Pubescent, pronotum with longitudinal and transversal elevated irregular lines (lines: denominated keels by Fonseca & Diringshofen, 1959) forming reticulate appearance. Head. Vertex and coronal suture grooved from superior margin until ocelli (Fig. 8D). Thorax. Pronotum. In lateral view, preapical part of posterior pronotal process (denominated protuberances by Fonseca & Diringshofen, 1959) with an elevated bilobulate hump (Fig. D); in dorsal view, posterolateral area of pronotum semicircular, abruptly narrowing in the posterior process (Fig. 10D). Forewing. with distinctive macula in apical cell IV (Fig. 12D) otherwise hyalin. Abdomen. Male. Unknown. Female. First Valvulae. Ventral interlocking device (VID), convex (Fig. 12B); ventral sculptured area (VSA) without preapical prominence. Second valvulae. without teeth on dorsal surface (Fig. 12D).

Measurements. Female (mm): Total length 8.52; head width 2.47; head length 1.78; pronotum length 7.47; width between humeral angles 3.47.

Distribution. Brazil.

Material examined. BRAZIL, S. Catharina, Corupa. (Hansa Humboldt) XI-1946. (AMNH: 1 female). Photograph of Holotype, label information (Fonseca & Diringshofen, 1959: 157): “ BRAZIL, Santa Catarina, Rio Vermelho. Collection R.v. Diringshofen, Sao Paulo, Brasil” (MZS P: 1 female).

Comments. C. quadrinodosa is only recorded from Brazil. The pronotal sculpture is distinctively reticulate; contrasting with C. nodosa the posterolateral part of pronotum is semicircular abruptly narrowing to the posterior process. The head and pronotal morphology along with the absence of the forewing s crossvein support the reinstatement of Aspona quadrinodosa into Cyphotes . This species have only been reported in Santa Catarina, Brazil distributed in lower elevations from 75–339 meters.
