Heniartes productus Stål, 1866 View in CoL

( Figs. 37–38 View FIGURES 34 – 39. 34 – 37 )

Discussion: The male holotype of H. productus was redescribed by Wygodzinsky (1953), without later references in the literature. The extended and somewhat laterally compressed scutellum ( Fig. 37 View FIGURES 34 – 39. 34 – 37 ), the pair of acute lateral processes on the pygophore rim, and the double medial process ( Fig. 38 View FIGURES 34 – 39. 34 – 37 ), are diagnostic to this species. The male examined here ( Figs. 37–38 View FIGURES 34 – 39. 34 – 37 ) fits the redescription of the species ( Wygodzinsky 1953), except that the apex of the corium is orange ( Fig. 37 View FIGURES 34 – 39. 34 – 37 ), whereas in the holotype it is black ( Wygodzinsky 1947, 1953).

Distribution: Heniartes productus was described by Stål (1866) from “ Brasilia borealis”, quite likely what is nowadays Brazil. This is the first time this species is recorded from an exact locality. Specimen examined: BRAZIL, 1 male, Amapá, Mazagão, Fazendinha, [0] 3-XII-1980, E. L. Oliveira [leg.] [MNRJ].
