Identification. Longitudinal carinae of pronotum prominent. Lateral margins of pronotum straight. Pronotum

of both sexes shows reliably only the lateral carina, above the notosternal suture. The differences in the epi- proct permit a rapid identification of the males. Male epi- proct elongate, much longer than the cerci.

Geographic distribution. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay ( Bentos-Pereira 2000).
