BRAZIL

, Joselita Santos leg. (ABMM).
Remarks
. This species is remarkable by the size and shape of its mesepisternal tubercles (
Fig. 54
). Whereas in all known females of
Tuberculobasis
tubercles are absent or small, in this species they are as high as those of males of the
costalimai
group. By having a curved plate connecting tubercles with mesostigmal plate it resembles males of
T. inversa
.
Hind
prothoracic lobe is also quite different from that of other known species, but median lobe is single-lipped as in all females of
Tuberculobasis
. It has postocular spots and it is most probably a new species, but I refrain from naming it pending the possibility that it might be the female of one of the six species of
Tuberculobasis
of which only the male is known.
