Cyphotes nodosa Burmeister, 1835: 143 View in CoL [New genus; type loc: Brazil]; Metcalf & Wade, 1965 a: 616 [Catalogued], McKamey, 1998: 150 [Catalogued]; Aspona bullata Stål, 1862: 29 View in CoL (type loc: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro); Metcalf & Wade, 1965: 618; Deitz, 1975: 70; McKamey, 1998: 150 [Catalogued]. Sakakibara, 2005a: 463 [taxonomic notes, photograph].

Aspona gibosa Fonseca & Diringshofen, 1969: 154 View in CoL , fig. 8 (type loc: Brazil, Santa Catarina: Rio Vermelho); McKamey, 1998: 150. Sakakibara, 2005a:463 [ Synonym of A. bullata View in CoL ]. Taunaya gibbosa Remes-Lenicov, 1973: 137 View in CoL (type loc: Argentina, Misiones); McKamey, 1998: 155. Sakakibara, 2005a:463 [ Synonym of A. bullata View in CoL ].

Diagnosis. (1) Pronotum in lateral view with preapical part of posterior pronotal process trapezoidal ( Fig. 9D View FIGURE 9 ); (2) first valvulae, VID bent in midsection ( Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ); (3) pronotum coloration uniform without marked black spots.

Description. Color. General color dark red or yellow, vertex, frontoclypeus, basal margin, metopidium, humeral angles, and middorsal portion dark red; posterior process behind the posterolateral pronotal area with a transversal yellow band. Sculpture. Densely pubescent, pronotum reticulate, punctuate. Head. Frontoclypeus with a longitudinal rugae ( Fig. 8A View FIGURE 8 ). Thorax. Pronotum. In lateral view, preapical part of posterior pronotal process raised abruptly in a narrow ridge ( Figs. 9A–C View FIGURE 9 ); in dorsal view, lyriform, humeral angles triangular, posterolateral area of pronotum rounded, gradually narrowing with posterior process ( Figs. 10A–C View FIGURE 10 ). Forewings. without macula in apical cells ( Figs. 11A–C View FIGURE 11 ). Abdomen. Male. Subgenital plate fused basally, dorsal margin rounded; lateral plate not fused to pygofer, margin dorsal truncate ( Fig. 13B View FIGURE 13 ); aedeagus scoop-shaped ( Fig. 13D View FIGURE 13 ), in posterior view parallel sided ( Fig. 13F View FIGURE 13 ), corona denticulate ( Fig. 13E View FIGURE 13 ), style in posterior view distal area curved anteriorly ( Fig. 13F View FIGURE 13 ). Female. First Valvulae. Ventral interlocking device (VID) bent downward at midlength ( Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ). Second valvulae. Without teeth on dorsal margin ( Fig. 12C View FIGURE 12 ).

Measurements. male/female (mm): Total length 6.71/7.98; head width 2.20/2.59; head length 1.29/1.59; pronotum length 6.22/7.52; width between humeral angles 3.10/ 3.89.

Distribution. Argentina (Remes-Lenicov, 1973), Brazil.

Material examined. Photograph of holotype. “ nodosa Label information: Bras.

Comments. This is the type species of the genus. Cyphotes nodosa has the following synonyms: Aspona bullata Stål, 1862 Aspona gibosa Fonseca & Diringshofen ; Taunaya gibbosa Remes-Lenicov (1973) . We follow Sakakibara (2005) in treating Aspona gibosa Fonseca & Diringshofen, 1969 ( Figs. 8B View FIGURE 8 ; 9B View FIGURE 9 ; 10B View FIGURE 10 ) and Taunaya gibbosa Remes-Lenicov (1973) as junior synonyms of A. bullata (now C. nodosa ). After morphological examination and in correlation with the geographic distribution of the specimens ( Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 ), A. bullata ( Figs. 8C View FIGURE 8 ; 9C View FIGURE 9 ; 10C View FIGURE 10 ) is considered here a synonym of C. nodosa . Specimens of C. nodosa have only been reported from southeastern South America and lower elevations from 130–740 meters.
