Redescription. Male. Length: body, 6.5–7.0 mm; wing, 6.5–7.0 mm. Head. Vertex yellow, setation yellow. Upper frons reddish yellow. Flagellomeres 1–3 brownish on outer margin, paler ventrally on inner margin; flagellomeres 4–8 dark brown to black; eighth flagellomere five times length of seventh flagellomere ( Fig. 2 View FIGURES 1 – 7 ). Palpus ( Fig. 67 View FIGURES 66 – 77 ) reddish yellow, elongate; basal segment cylindrical, as long as wide; apical segment oval, 1.8–2.3 its width, 1.6–4.0 length of basal segment, both with pale hairs. Thorax ( Figs. 8 View FIGURE 8 , 60 View FIGURES 60 – 65 ). Entirely reddish yellow, postpronotal lobes and notopleural strip slightly contrasting with color of scutum. Scutum and scutellum orange, with brownish pilosity. Legs. Mostly reddish yellow, except for brownish tarsomeres (basitarsus only distally), mid and hind trochanters, hind coxae and hind tibiae dark brown to black. Wing as in Fig. 66 View FIGURES 66 – 77 . Halter yellow. Abdomen. Reddish yellow, with black transverse bands on tergites; tergites 2–4 with one small macula, mostly yellow; sternites weakly sclerotized. Male genitalia ( Figs. 9–14 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ). Distal margin of gonocoxite rounded ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ); inner plate with two acuminate projections distally ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ). Gonostylus wider on basal half, with a small rounded inner projection ( Figs 12–13 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ). Ejaculatory apodeme truncate basally ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ). Distal margin of lateral projections of phallus rounded ( Figs. 9–10 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ). Cercus more or less oval ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ).

Female. Differs from male as follow. Length: body, 6.0– 7.5 mm; wing, 6.0–8.0 mm. Abdomen. Tergites mostly black, except for tergites 7–8; sternites weakly sclerotized, 1–4 with a small black macula. Female genitalia ( Figs. 15–20 View FIGURES 15 – 20 ). Tergite 8 wide, more or less rectangular, rounded anteriorly. Sternite 8 quadrate, narrowing towards apex ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 15 – 20 ); gonapophyses slightly sclerotized, strongly bilobed, rounded apically. Tergite 9 more or less rounded laterally ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 15 – 20 ). Genital fork with anterior arm rounded at extreme base ( Figs. 15–17 View FIGURES 15 – 20 ); membranous lobes of genital fork wide, covering nearly entire distal half; projection of posterior margin short, inner margin oblique; margin between posterior projection with a more or less oval medial incision; genital opening large, circular, a few microtrichia on bursa. Three spermathecae present ( Fig. 56 View FIGURES 56 – 59 ), lateral ones with short ducts, more sclerotized posteriorly, with a distinct rounded valve near middle of duct; spermathecal capsules circular, helicoid, with two coils, strongly sclerotized ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 15 – 20 ). Cercus with first segment moderately compressed, basally wider than distally; first segment of cercus more than 1.5 times length of second segment.

Geographic distribution. Brazil (states of Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and São Paulo) ( Fig. 92 View FIGURE 92 ).

Comments. This species shows variation in the hind leg color. The specimens of the type series of Arthropeina fulva , according to the original description, and some of the identified specimens have dark brown to black hind coxa, while specimens from Teodoro Sampaio (State of São Paulo), Presidente Olegário (State of Minas Gerais) and Chapada dos Guimarães (State of Mato Grosso) have the hind coxae yellow to reddish yellow. This difference does not seem significant to indicate that this set of specimens are not conspecific. Structures of female genitalia and spermatheca do not show substantial differences. Most specimens from this species studied here, however, are females. Maybe males from these areas may show more significant differences. At present, we decided to treat these specimens as conspecific and the differences in color as intraspecific variation.
