Ends of ectophallic apodeme crossing the rami, when in ventral view ( Fig. 4B ) ......................................................... Amanayara helenae sp. nov. ( Fig. 15A–D )

3 Dorsal border of pseudepiphallic median lobe sub-straight ( Figs. 5B and 6B ). Rami and ectophallic apodeme not upside-curved ( Fig. 7B ). Ectophallic apodeme partially covered by pseudepiphallus, in lateral view ( Fig. 8B ) ....... 4

- Dorsal border of pseudepiphallic median lobe convex ( Figs. 5A and 6A ). Rami and ectophallic apodeme upsidecurved ( Fig. 7A ). Ectophallic apodeme completely covered by pseudepiphallus, in lateral view ( Fig. 8A ) ................ .............................................................................................................. Amanayara bernardesi sp. nov. ( Fig. 12E–H )
