Paratypes: 10 males, same data as holotype (MZFS); 5 males, same data as holotype (CEMT) .</p><p>Diagnosis: Head with tubercle adjacent to each eye (Figures 1A, D–E). Pronotum with little expanded tubercle, practically bidentate (Figures 1A, D–E); all the surface with scattered points (Figures 1C–D, F). Parameres symmetrical, with acute and divergent apex in dorsal view (Figures 1G, I).</p><p>Description (holotype, male): (Figures 1A, C–F). Body size: Total length: 7.11 mm, width: 5.02 mm. Colour: uniformly dark brown. Head: clypeal carina expanding to the mid-frontal area generating a little angulation; frons without tubercles; surface completely with scattered points, heterogeneous (Figures 1D–E). Pronotum: anterior region of disc with little expanded tubercle, practically bidentate. Points spread over the complete surface of the pronotum, with greater evidence on the sides of the disc and with a non-standard distribution. Ventral region of the thorax: central region of the metaventrite with a few scattered in a non-standard way setae. Male terminalia (Figures 1G–I): parameres, symmetrical, with the approximate base and truncated and divergent apex, widely separated in dorsal view (Figure 1G); completely visible in lateral view (Figure 1H); only the apex visible in ventral view (Figure 1I).</p><p>Sexual dimorphism: female unknown.</p><p>Remarks: Bolbapium vazdemelloi sp. nov. has a head with tubercle adjacent to each eye, similar to Bolbapium luederwaldti Carvalho &amp; Vaz-de-Mello, 2022, Bolbapium boillyi Carvalho &amp; Vaz-de-Mello, 2022, Bolbapium borgmeieri Martínez, 1976, Bolbapium caesum (Klug, 1843), and Bolbapium furtadoi Carvalho &amp; Vaz-de-Mello, 2022 . However, B. vazdemelloi sp. nov. has the anterior region of pronotum with a small, expanded tubercle, practically bidentate (Figures 1A, C–F), a characteristic that is absent or morphologically different in the other previously mentioned species. In B. luederwaldti, the pronotum is a concave structure (see Figure 3D in Carvalho &amp; Vaz-de-Mello 2022); in B. borgmeieri, the pronotum, mesoanteriorly, is a curved structure with width less than half the interocular width (see Figure 6B in Carvalho &amp; Vaz-de-Mello 2022); in B. caesum, the pronotum, mesoanteriorly, is a curved structure, with non-continuous lines and with small angulation on each side of the structure (see Figure 6F in Carvalho &amp; Vaz-de-Mello 2022); in B. furtadoi, the pronotum is a simple bi-tuberculated structure at the front and with small tubercle on each side of the central projection (see Figure 4C in Carvalho &amp; Vaz-de-Mello 2022), and in B. boillyi, the pronotum, mesoanteriorly do not have an evident structure, the central disc has a slight sinuosity (see Figure 4D in Carvalho &amp; Vaz-de-Mello 2022). Bolbapium vazdemelloi sp. nov. (Figures 1D–E) is morphologically similar to B. matheusi (see Figure 6C in Carvalho &amp; Vaz-de-Mello 2022), both species have the anterior region of pronotum with little expanded tubercle, practically bidentate; however, B. matheusi does not have the head with tubercle adjacent to each eye (see Figure 6C in Carvalho &amp; Vaz-de-Mello 2022) that is present in the new species.</p><p>Geographical distribution: Bolbapium vazdemelloi sp. nov. is known only from the type locality (Figure 2).</p><p>Identification key</p><p>Bolbapium vazdemelloi sp. nov. was included in couplet 19 of the identification key for the species Bolbapium (Carvalho &amp; Vaz-de-Mello 2022).</p><p>19.
