Tomaspis tettigoniella Breddin, 1904: 59 View in CoL .
Diagnosis. Male similar to female type ( Carvalho & Webb 2005, fig. 320) but in 2 of the 3 specimens the orange patch on the tegminal base is shorter, separated from the preapical orange band by the same width as that of their black apices.
Description. Male genitalia as in Z. segui , but male pygofer with only single setose lobe at base of anal tube, tips of subgenital plates nearly touching at midline, and styles with apical process shorter and more curved. Length: 7.5–7.8 mm, width across eyes 1.9 mm, across pronotum 2.5–2.6 mm; length of eye 0.5–0.6 mm, of side margins of pronotum 0.7–0.8 mm.
Remarks. The female type from Peru matches the 3 male specimens in NCSU but is slightly longer (8 mm). The males were taken at 1200m at Abitagua, Ecuador on 25 May 1939 by Wm. Clark-Macintyre.
