Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., 2022, New records, taxonomic notes, and the description of a new species of Harpactorinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) from French Guiana, Zootaxa 5105 (3), pp. 381-400 : 394

Notocyrtus depressus Stål, 1872

( Fig. 34 )

Both Stål (1872) and Carvalho & Costa (1993) described only the female of Notocyrtus depressus , based on a type specimen from Colombia deposited in NHRS. Following Carvalho & Costa (1993), the main diagnostic characteristics of N. depressus species are its general black color, large size and the transversal furrow on the pronotum. The specimen examined here ( Fig. 34 ) is a female which matches well with the previous descriptions ( Stål 1872, Carvalho & Costa 1993).

Distribution. Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana (new record).

Material examined. FRENCH GUIANA, Bélizon , xi.1997, leg. H. Gaspard, 1 female ( MNRJ) .
