Lobolibethra panguana Hennemann & Conle, 2007: 98 View in CoL , by original designation.
Comments
The original generic description and differentiation presented by Hennemann & Conle (2007) is very detailed and requires no additions. As previously pointed out, females of Lobolibethra are easily distinguished from those of the closely related Libethra Stål, 1875 by the more convex, strongly keeled and posteriorly entire, rounded or truncate subgenital plate and males are readily distinguished by the small unspecialized cerci. It is, however, noteworthy that the subgenital plate of females has the apex gently concave and excavated in L. mainerii ( Caudell, 1918) and L. ramale ( Giglio-Tos, 1898) , but not as deeply incised as in Libethra . The eggs differ by the less elongate capsule, which is almost circular in lateral aspect, and comparatively longer micropylar plate.
Like numerous species of the related Libethra , females of several species are very polymorphic and show strong intraspecific variability, which concerns the sculpturing of the body and armature of the extremities. Consequently, the presence or absence of strumae and lobes on the abdominal tergites, degree of thoracic nodes or tubercles, as well as the size and shape of teeth or lobes on the legs of females are only of limited value for species distinction. This is very well shown by the large type series of L. panguana Hennemann & Conle, 2007 , which includes 82 females and allows a fairly good overview of the range of intraspecific variability in the genus. Genital characters, like the shape of the anal segment (= abdominal tergum X), subgenital plate and the praeopercular organ on abdominal sternum VII, as well as length relations of body segments, have proven by far more reliable for distinguishing and characterizing species. Characters such as the sculpturing of the body and armature of the legs are here only used as key features if they represent extreme states, e.g., are strongly developed or almost to completely lacking.
Distribution
Moist tropical rain forests below 2000 m in southeast Ecuador, southeast Colombia, eastern and central Peru, central Brazil and central Bolivia. According to Morrone (2006: 472–473) the known distribution refers to the Amazonian subregion of the Neotropical region (biogeographical Provinces Yungas, Napo, Varzea, Ucayali and Madeira) and to the eastern sections of the South American Transition Zone (biogeographical Province Puna).
The currently known records of Lobolibethra clearly show that the genus is still poorly known and the distribution is believed to cover most of the northern tropical lowlands and Amazon basin of South America.
