MATERIAL EXAMINED. — French Guiana • 1♀; Monts Tumuc-Humac, Massif du Mitaraka , vers sommet en Cloche; entre 54.4541 O 2.2349 N et 54.4646 O 2.2329 N; alt. entre 370 m et 470 m; 23.II.-10.III.2015; F. Legendre & S. Hugel leg.; de nuit, fn. SH407; MNHN .

REMARK

We separate here one female which differs by its very short ovipositor (less than 16 mm), its female copulatory papilla (short, rounded with a laterally strongly compressed apex: see Fig. 23 J-L), and its size (see Measurements). The specimen is in very bad condition, but clearly belongs to a new species that will have to be described with additional material.

MEASUREMENTS (IN MM). — See Table 18 .
