Holotype male, Mato Grosso: INPA (examined). Species also known from Rondônia (new record) ( Fig. 12aView FIGURE 12).
Bittacus aripuanensis and B. blancheti were the two species previously placed in the genus Neobittacus , which was characterized by the large number of costal crossveins in the forewing. This character, however, is quite variable, as discussed by Machado et al. (2009), who synonymized it with Bittacus . For the same reason, Navás (1929) had synonymized Neobittacus with Thyridates . The species seems to be restricted to the southern border of the Amazon and can be easily identified by the maculation pattern of the wings and the general shape of the male epandrium.
Examined specimens. Brazil: Rondônia: Nova Mamoré, Parque Estadual Guajará-Mirim, Rio Formoso , 10 o 19’26’’S– 64 o 33’88’’W, 20–27.i.1995, luz [light], JA Rafael & AL Henriques (1♀ INPA) .
