( Figs. 9-10 )

Material examined. Aristathlus regalis . 2 males: PERU, Amazonas, RodrÍguez de Mendoza , I.1997, P. Sanchez, leg. [ MNRJ] .

Aristathlus Bergroth, 1913 and its two species, A. imperatorius Bergroth, 1913 and A. regalis Bergroth, 1913 were revised by Forero et al. (2008). Subsequently, A. imperatorius was recognized as a junior synonym of Zelus iopterus (Perty, 1834) , resulting in the new combination A. iopterus (Perty, 1834) (Gil-Santana and Forero 2015) . Aristathlus regalis was described from French Guiana ( Bergroth 1913), and further recorded from Brazil ( Gil-Santana 2007), Colombia and Suriname ( Forero et al. 2008). The species is generally blackish with yellowish markings, with some interindividual variation, such as the extent of the yellowish markings on the fore lobe of pronotum; the scutellum is completely yellowish or darkened on its median portion ( Figs. 9-10 ).

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