F. text Journal of Natural History 2010 2010-11-05 44 45 - 46 2761 2801 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2010.512423 journal article 10.1080/00222933.2010.512423 1464-5262 5212103 Rhagovelia bocaina Moreira and Ribeiro, 2009 These species were recently described from medium to high altitude localities in Southeastern Brazil , and the following must be mentioned regarding R. aiuruoca : brachypterous specimens cited by Moreira and Ribeiro (2009) are in fact macropterous specimens with wings broken off near the base; and mesosternal tubercles, corresponding to small projections of the posterior margin of the segment, can be observed in this species, but should not be used as a diagnostic feature, being present in other Rhagovelia species. Also, some of the coordinates given on the list of material were incorrect: 22 ◦ 20 ′ 928 ′′ S, 44 ◦ 41 ′ 606 ′′ W is actually 22 ◦ 20.928 ′ S , 44 ◦ 41.606 ′ W , and 22 ◦ 18 ′ 786 ′′ S, 44 ◦ 36 ′ 814 ′′ W is in fact 22 ◦ 18.786 ′ S , 44 ◦ 36.814 ′ W . As for R. bocaina , the latitude indicated for types is 2 ◦ 44 ′ 05.6 ′′ S , whereas the correct latitude is 22 ◦ 44 ′ 05.6 ′′ S . On comments about this species, it was mentioned that the apterous male pronotum was longer than wide. To reconfirm this, measurements were retaken and a length: width ratio of 5.1: 5.6 was found on the holotype , and similar ratios on paratypes . The shape of the male paramere remains the main character for distinguishing this species from Rhagovelia calcaris Drake and Harris, 1936 , as shown by figures found in Polhemus (1997) and Moreira and Ribeiro (2009) . Several specimens of R. aiuruoca were collected in Serra do Caparaó, and R. bocaina is recorded for the first time from Espírito Santo State , based on material collected near the municipal seat of Laranja da Terra.
