Holotype : female (Staatlichen Naturhistorischen Sammlungen Dresden, Germany , STM, as STMD in PAPAVERO 2009 ). Type locality: "South America. [For nomenclatural history, see PAPAVERO (2009) ]. Diagnosis. Female (see BARROS et al . 2019 ). Male: body mostly brownish; scutal bands not well developed, no dark spot at transverse suture level; scutum homogenously brown, except for a weak pair of silver pruinescence over the posterior portion of the scutum medially; scutum markedly covered by medium-sized yellowish setae; scutellum dark brown on its apical half as shown in VAL (1976) ; pleuron dark brown; with no ventral spine on hind femur.

Marques ( 1 ♀ , CZMA ); same data, except: 03°14′01″S 46°40′52″W , armadilha luminosa, 03-07.v.2011 , M.M. Abreu & J.A. Silva , cols. ( 1 ♂ , CZMA ) . Distribution. Belize , Colombia , Guyana , Suriname , French Guiana , Peru , Brazil (states of Roraima , Amazonas, Pará, and Maranhão [new record]) ( BARROS et al . 2019 ). Comments. Similarly to the female, the male has wings with a yellowish base and an abdomen mostly orangish, with lateral margins dark brown with white spots ( Figure 1A, B ). The color intensity of the legs in the male is not as dark as in the female from Roraima ( BARROS et al . 2019 ), but the pattern is the same, with all tarsomeres lighter, particularly the hind tarsomeres, which are nearly yellow ( Figure 1A ). VAL (1976) provided illustrations of the male terminalia and here, we complement her efforts with the first digital images of the male terminalia of P. comptus ( Figure 1 C-I).
