Figures 64–68 View FIGURE 64 View FIGURE 65 View FIGURE 66 View FIGURE 67 View FIGURE 68

Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 65 View FIGURE 65 ). Mesobasisternum lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally blunt tip ( Fig. 64E View FIGURE 64 ). Metabasisternum anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 64E View FIGURE 64 ). Apex of cercus with rectangular projection with dark brown color ( Fig. 64K View FIGURE 64 ).

Description. Holotype Male.

Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally blunt tip ( Fig. 64E View FIGURE 64 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 64E View FIGURE 64 ).

Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 65 View FIGURE 65 ). Left stridulatory file curved; basal teeth smaller and more spaced apart ( Fig. 66A View FIGURE 66 ). Total file length of 2.5 mm, greater vein width of 0.5 mm and total of 63 teeth. Right stridulatory slightly sinuose; basal teeth smaller and more spaced apart ( Fig. 66B View FIGURE 66 ). Total length file of 2.2 mm, widest vein of 0.2 mm and total of 36 teeth.

Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 2/3 of the total femur length ( Fig. 64H View FIGURE 64 ).

Abdomen. Cercus slightly curved inwards, with the apex not expanded ( Figs. 64I–K View FIGURE 64 ). Apex of cercus with rectangular projection with a dark brown color ( Fig. 64K View FIGURE 64 ). Stylus small and rectangular ( Fig. 64I View FIGURE 64 ).

Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles reniform ( Figs. 67A–D View FIGURE 67 ). Upper folds of ventral lobe large, triangular and not connected ( Figs. 67A–B View FIGURE 67 ). Titillator process large and asymmetrical ( Figs. 67A–D View FIGURE 67 ). Lower folds of ventral lobe large, bilobate and exceeding the dorsal lobe ( Figs. 67A–B View FIGURE 67 ). Dorsal lobes anteriorly with median triangular projection, anterolaterally with two elongated projections, laterally and posteriorly convex ( Figs. 67A–D View FIGURE 67 ). Dorsal folds elongated, narrow and with asymmetrical apex ( Figs. 67C–D View FIGURE 67 ).

Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimen ( Fig. 64 View FIGURE 64 ). Body yellowish-brown. Eyes brown.

Female. Unknown.

Etymology. The epithet is in apposition, Tepequém comes from the Brazilian indigenous language and means “fire god”, referring to the type locality of this species.

Distribution. Brazil: Roraima ( Fig. 68 View FIGURE 68 ).
