This species was formerly described and named by Dr. Carina Mews in her Master’s dissertation, but it was not published ( Mews, 2006 ). In the language of the Brazilian indigenous tribe Puri, Putuhra means “yellow”, referring to the outer coloration of FIII. Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from other Eidmanacris by the following characters: antennae with bands composed of four whitish antenomeres, the bands that follow increasing in number, interspersed with one whitish antenomere; pseudepiphallic arm slightly curved outwards, apex curved inwards in dorsal and ventral views; anterior projection of pseudepiphallic sclerite curved inwards in dorsal view; PsP2 distal portion convex outside, concave inside, forming posterior spine curved inwards; ectophallic apodeme laterally flattened; endophallic apodeme short; copulatory papilla cylindrical, down curved, more sclerotized ventrally.
