Peckia (Euboettcheria) epimelia ( Lopes, 1938)

( Figs 13–14 , 51–56 )

Description of female terminalia. Posterior margin of T5 elliptical, brown with golden microtrichosity ( Figs 54– 56 ). T6 divided and with the posterior margin separated, brown, with golden microtrichosity and a row of setae near posterior margin ( Figs 51, 54 ). Spiracle 6 located on the intersegmentary membrane, spiracle 7 located on T6. T8 absent ( Fig. 51 ). Epiproct a single short plate, covered with long and fine setae. Cercus covered with long and fine setae. Hypoproct wider than long, covered with long and fine setae ( Fig. 52 ). ST6 wider than long, with posterior margin widened, covered with setulae and with robust setae near posterior margin. ST7 conical, without setulae or setae. ST8 reduced, covered with setulae ( Fig. 51 ). Spermathecae rounded, with furrows on apical surface ( Fig. 53 ).
