Figures 74–78 View FIGURE 74 View FIGURE 75 View FIGURE 76 View FIGURE 77 View FIGURE 78
Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 75 View FIGURE 75 ). Mesobasisternum diamond-shaped, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally slightly convex and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally acuminate tip ( Fig. 74E View FIGURE 74 ). Metabasisternum diamond-shaped, anteriorly convex with two small rounded lateral projections; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 74E View FIGURE 74 ). Apex of cercus with convex projection with small lateral triangular projection, both with narrow with a dark brown color ( Fig. 74K View FIGURE 74 ).
Description. Holotype Male.
Thorax. Mesobasisternum diamond-shaped, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally slightly convex and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally acuminate tip ( Fig. 74E View FIGURE 74 ). Metabasisternum diamond-shaped, anteriorly convex with two small rounded lateral projections; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 74E View FIGURE 74 ).
Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 75 View FIGURE 75 ). Left stridulatory file curved; basal teeth smaller and more spaced apart ( Fig. 76A View FIGURE 76 ). Total file length of 4 mm, greater vein width of 0.5 mm and total of 52 teeth. Right stridulatory slightly sinuose; basal teeth smaller and more spaced apart ( Fig. 76B View FIGURE 76 ). Total length file of 3.5 mm, widest vein of 0.2 mm and total of 53 teeth.
Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 1/2 of the total femur length ( Fig. 74H View FIGURE 74 ).
Abdomen. Cercus curved inwards, with the apex expanded ( Figs. 74I–K View FIGURE 74 ).Apex of cercus with convex projection with small lateral triangular projection, both with narrow with a dark brown color ( Fig. 74K View FIGURE 74 ). Stylus long and ellipse ( Fig. 74I View FIGURE 74 ).
Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles rounded ( Figs. 77A–D View FIGURE 77 ). Upper folds of ventral lobe small, asymmetrical and connected ( Figs. 77A–B View FIGURE 77 ). Titillator process rounded ( Figs. 77A–D View FIGURE 77 ). Lower folds of ventral lobe large, posteriorly rounded and not exceeding the dorsal lobe ( Figs. 77A–B View FIGURE 77 ). Dorsal lobes anteriorly slightly convex, laterally and posteriorly convex ( Figs. 77A–D View FIGURE 77 ). Dorsal folds elongated, wide and with rounded apex ( Figs. 77C– D View FIGURE 77 ).
Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimen ( Fig. 74 View FIGURE 74 ). Body yellowish-green. Eyes light brown.
Female. Unknown.
Etymology. The epithet is in apposition, assu comes from the Brazilian indigenous language Nheengatu and means “large”, in reference to the large size of this species.
Distribution. Brazil: Maranhão ( Fig. 78 View FIGURE 78 ).
