E16387CBFF8DF027BFED14C6FADA3562.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis This species is similar to B. spinosa and B. renaissance Reategui, Pereira, Rafael & Silva-Neto sp. nov. in the general structure of the phallobase. It is close to B. renaissance in the external parameres that are not forked distally but differs from it at the phallobase which bears numerous small spines, which are heavily sclerotized and arranged in a concave band embedded within a membranous matrix. Three pairs of endophallic sclerites are present: antero-lateral pair long and slender; antero-mesal pair is M-shaped, with stout anterior arms that contact medially, forming inwardly curved projections, and a posterior portion that is sinuous and gently inward curved; posterior pair stout, distally curved outwards, blunt ended, close to the external parameres.	en	Reategui, Natália Soares, Pereira, Antoniel Francisco, Ferreira, Rodrigo Lopes, Boldrini, Rafael, Rafael, José Albertino, Neto, Alberto Moreira da Silva (2026): Cave-dwelling species of Brasineura Silva-Neto & García Aldrete, 2015 (Psocodea: Ptiloneuridae) from southwestern Brazil: new species, wing variation, and new geographic and troglophile status records.
