Nephochaetopteryx juquiana Dodge

Nephochaetopteryx juquiana Dodge, 1968a: 281 (key), 283 (description of male). Type locality: Brazil, S„o Paulo, Juquiá. Other references: Pape (1996: 260; catalog).

Distribution. NEOTROPICAL—Brazil (S„o Paulo).

Remarks. This species was described by Dodge (1968a) based on only one male specimen from Juquiá (S„o Paulo), which was deposited in the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC). All the specimens described by Dodge (1968a) and deposited in the IOC had since been relocated to MNRJ. However, the holotype of N. juquiana was not located in the MNRJ prior to the 2018 fire.

From the description provided by Dodge (1968a) it is evident that this species differs from other species of Nephochaetopteryx by the following combination of characters: sternite 4 of male with a median patch of thick setae; pregonite narrowed, very long (longer than postgonite) and curved anteriorly. None of the specimens analyzed in this study had this combination of features.
