Diagnosis. Body coloration light brown ( Figs 25A, B View FIGURE 25 ). Posterior margin of pronotum with deep arched indentation ( Fig. 25D View FIGURE 25 ). Dorsal margin of triangular periandrium ( Fig. 26G View FIGURE 26 ). Gonapophysis VIII (first valvula) with tree projections on lateromedian margin of unequal sizes ( Fig. 27E View FIGURE 27 ).

Description. Measurements. Body length: male 3.1 – 4.2 mm (7.0 – 7.3 mm including wings) (N=3); female: 3.7 – 4.1 mm (6.9 – 7.6 mm including wings) (N=3).

Coloration. General body color light brown ( Figs 25A, B View FIGURE 25 ). Plaque organs of pedicel pale yellow; median and lateral longitudinal carinae of pronotum, median and lateral longitudinal carinae of the mesonotum yellow brown; diffuse spot in the latero-anterior region of the mesonotum yellow. Forewing semihyaline, light brown with white region and pale yellow vein: basal half of postcostal cell white; apex of the RA vein white; ir cross-vein white; C2, C3, C3a cells white; long, narrow, white diffuse band on apical region extending from r-m2 cross-vein vein up to the MP 5 vein; icu cross-vein white; wide white bands covering RP, MP and CuA veins in wing apex ( Fig. 41A View FIGURE 41 ). Hind wing semihyaline, light brown with hyaline regions ( Fig. 41B View FIGURE 41 ).

Head: frons narrow, distance between the lateral carinae of frons on median portion, approximately 3 times smaller than maximum width of vertex ( Fig. 25C View FIGURE 25 ). Clypeus approximately 3 times longer than its maximum width; median carina of clypeus strongly marked, does not touch epistomal suture, present on distal ¾ ( Fig. 25C View FIGURE 25 ). Pedicel oblong, approximately 3 times longer than scape ( Fig. 38C View FIGURE 38 ). Scape long without cuticular denticles ( Fig. 38C View FIGURE 38 ).

Thorax: anterior margin of pronotum with tapered apex, lateral longitudinal carinae converging at an angle on anterior margin and subparallel to each other towards posterior margin; median longitudinal carina of pronotum present, strongly marked; posterior margin of pronotum with deep angled indentation in the middle; pronotum with pustules on posterior margin ( Fig. 25D View FIGURE 25 ); median and lateral longitudinal carinae of mesonotum present, strongly marked ( Fig. 25D View FIGURE 25 ).

Forewing: RA and RP veins with the apex gently curved anteriorly; r-m cross-vein present; ir cross-vein distant from r-m2 cross-vein; MP vein with five branches with apex curved anteriorly; first bifurcation of MP vein arising after r-m cross-vein; m-cu cross-vein present; CuP vein approximately 3 times longer than Pcu + A 1 vein; apex of clavus with straight angle ( Fig. 41A View FIGURE 41 ).

Hind wing: first bifurcation of MP vein arising before m-cu cross-vein ( Figs 41B View FIGURE 41 ).

Legs: metatibia with 8 apical spines; metatarsus with 7+6 apical spines.

Abdomen: posterior pit of the sternite III rounded ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 ); posterior half of sternites IV + V and VI with three long, thin, whitish setae; posterior margin of sternite VII rounded. Female ( Fig. 25B View FIGURE 25 ). Similar to male, except for the coloration of the body dark brown, longer Anal tube (segment X).

Male terminalia ( Figs 26A–G View FIGURE 26 ): pygofer with posterior margin without projections, sinuous internal margin, with a few sparse setae in lateral view ( Fig. 26B View FIGURE 26 ). Gonostyli with truncated apex in lateral view, outer margin with short and pointed projection next to the apex and numerous setae moderately long ( Figs 26D, E View FIGURE 26 ). Phallic complex ( Figs 26F, G View FIGURE 26 ): periandrium widened at base narrowed towards apex in dorsal view, dorsal margin sinuous at the apex and ventral margin with smoothly indentation apically ( Figs 26F, G View FIGURE 26 ). Inner sclerotised plates narrowing towards the apex, with serrated margin and surface with small spiniform projections ( Figs 26F, G View FIGURE 26 ). Anal tube (segment X), with apex rounded in dorsal view, with sparse setae and many small spiniform projections dorsally ( Fig. 26C View FIGURE 26 ).

Female terminalia ( Figs 27A–E View FIGURE 27 ). Pygofer with numerous setae and numerous small spiniform projections in posterior view ( Fig. 27B View FIGURE 27 ). Gonapophysis VIII (first valvula) robust, with sparse setae on median region and covered with small spiniform projections at basal half in lateral view; three lateroapical projections of unequal sizes with smooth dorsal margin in lateral view ( Fig. 27E View FIGURE 27 ). Bursa copulatrix sparsely filamentous apically, acute apex, covered by several setae laterally near to apex and small spiniform projections on median region in lateral view ( Fig. 27E View FIGURE 27 ). Gonapophysis IX (second valvula) slender, forked at ¼ apical, lobes with pointed apex, converging near apex and strongly curved latero-ventrally in dorsal view ( Fig. 27D View FIGURE 27 ). Gonoplac (third valvula) subtrapezoidal, apex semi-rounded with several apical setae, sparse setae laterally and base half with numerous small spiniform projection in lateral view ( Fig. 27C View FIGURE 27 ). Anal tube (segment X), short, apex truncated, with numerous sparse setae and many small spiniform projections in dorsal view ( Fig. 27B View FIGURE 27 ).

Variations. No red spots have been observed on the abdomen and the coloration of the legs varied from light brown to dark brown, in some specimens.

Etymology. The species is named in honor of Dr. Norman D. Penny for his immense contribution to the knowledge to the Brazilian invertebrate fauna.

Distribution. Brazil (Amazonas, Maranhão) ( Fig. 44 View FIGURE 44 ). Comments. B. pennyi sp nov. can be promptly distinguished from B. pulla Muir, 1934 by the general body color light brown, posterior margin of pronotum with deep arched indentation, male terminalia with anal tube (segment X), rounded, dorsal margin of periandrium with smoothly indentation and bursa copulatrix with acute apex.
