Leptobasis yanomami De Marmels (1992: 62) ; Tsuda (2000: 38); Bridges (1994: VII, 59).

Specimens examined. 1 (3) paratype: VENEZUELA, Amazonas Federal Territory, upper Rio Mavaca (160m, 02°02´10´´N, 55°06´50´´W), 14-II-1989, De Marmels leg & det. (MIZA). 1 3, BRAZIL, State of Pará, Belém, Fazenda Mocambo, IX-1972, E. Dente & A.B.M.Machado leg. (in the forest, away from the water) (A.B.M.M.).

Distribution. Venezuela, Amazonas Federal Territory and Brazil, State of Pará.

Remarks. By having well-developed lateral lobes, low mesepisternal tubercles, and paraprocts about as long as cerci, T. yanomami belongs in the mammilaris species group, together with T. geijskesi , T. karitiana , T. mammilaris , and T. tirio . It can be separated from these species by characters given in the keys. Male of T. yanomami is close to T. mammilaris , but female is closer to T. tirio . The three type specimens described by De Marmels (1992) were collected in the forest on sun-hit bushes, away from water. This is the first record of this species from Brazil.
