Treatment

Zethus (Wettsteinia) plaumanni Bohart & Stange, 1965 View in CoL

Zethus plaumanni Bohart & Stange, 1965: 89 View in CoL (key), 95 (female, in subgenus Zethus View in CoL ). Stange, 1969: 168 (key); 1978: 77 (key). Lopes et al., 2021: supplementary material 3 (in subgenus Wettsteinia ).

TYPE DATA: Holotype female, Cambridge [ MCZ] – examined.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brazil, Santa Cantarina , Nova Teutônia ”

Diagnosis: The dorsally lamellar and strongly laterally sinuous pronotal carina, palpal formula 6:4, male antennae hooked rather than rolled, T 3 and S3 with regular lamellae and the narrow petiole render it as belonging in the subgenus Z. ( Wettsteinia ). The mesoscutum not completely striate, S1 not cariniform, T 1 micropunctate and T 2 with macropunctures not apically concentrated assign the specimens to the Z. heydeni species group. Finally, the ventrolateral ridge on T 1 present, but weak, and the mesoscutum without welts, but with evident nearly complete notaulices define the species.
