Holotype.
Female, BMNH. BRAZIL, Nova Teutonia, 2.iii.1937 (not examined).
Specimens examined.
1 ♀ (CNC), Brazil, Nova Teutonia, 27°11'S, 52°23'W, 300-500m, 2.iv.1966, DNA Voucher code: CNCHYM 07019. 3 ♂ (FUSAGx), French Guiana, Kaw Mountain, Patawa, 4°32'42.20"N, 52°09'09.19"W, v.1999 and viii.1999, Malaise trap. 1 ♀ (BMNH) Peru, Loreto, Estacion Jenaro Herrera, 4°53'55.0"S, 73°39'00.4"W, 121m, 13-23.i.2011, D. Karlsson & N. Dale-Skey, BMNH(E) 2011-72, BMNH(E)#1249978.
Diagnosis.
This species is similar to Sendaphne jatai , both having the lightest (i.e., more yellowish) coloration among all known species within the genus. S. olearus has brown bands on posterior margin of mediotergites 4-6, and its body coloration is generally more yellow-reddish ( Sendaphne jatai body color is entirely yellow).
Distribution.
Brazil, French Guiana, Peru.
Molecular data.
The CNC specimen from the type locality in Brazil (CNCHYM 07019) rendered a minibarcode of 164 base pairs.
Comments.
We could not see the holotype of this species, but the original description is adequately detailed for discrimination. We examined one female from the type locality (collected 30 years after the holotype female), the only known male specimens (from French Guiana), which were discussed in Braet (2006), and the first known specimen from Peru.
