Peckia (Euboettcheria) subducta ( Lopes, 1935)

( Figs 9 , 57–62 )

Description of female terminalia. Posterior margin of T5 elliptical, black with reddish microtrichose spots near posterior margin and golden microtrichosity ( Figs 60–62 ). T6 divided into two halves, reddish, with golden microtrichosity and a row of setae near posterior margin. Spiracles 6 and 7 located on T6. T8 absent ( Figs 57, 60 ). Epiproct not sclerotized, represented by two groups of fine, long setae. Cercus covered with long and fine setae. Hypoproct triangular, with long and fine setae near posterior margin ( Fig. 58 ). ST6 rectangular, covered with setae near posterior margin. ST7 longer than wide, bell-shaped, with a pair of setae near posterior margin (absent in some specimens). ST8 reduced, rectangular, covered with few long and fine setae ( Fig. 57 ). Spermathecae rounded, without grooves or marks on their surface ( Fig. 59 ).

Remarks. Peckia (E.) subducta and P. (E.) collusor share some morphological similarities in the female terminalia, such as a divided epiproct ( Figs 46 , 58 ). The female terminalia of P. (E.) subducta differ from those of the other examined species of Euboettcheria in having ST7 bell-shaped and T5 covered mainly with gray microtrichosity ( Figs 45, 48 , 57, 60 ).
