( Figs. 4 l, 5i; table 3)

Chinavia sebastiaoi Schwertner & Grazia 2006 , 243–246; Schwertner & Grazia 2007, 422, 423, 433.

Diagnosis. Body mostly green, with narrow yellow bands on the lateral margins of the scutellum, pronotum and hemelytra. Abdominal spine surpassing metacoxae, generally reaching mesocoxae.

Adult size. 14–16mm.

Distribution. Bolivia, Brazil (Mato Grosso do Sul), Paraguay.

Material examined. Holotype: Serra da Bodoquena (MS—Brazil), 1941, Ugarte col., FIOC (1♂); Paratypes: La Paz: Guanay ( Bolivia), 1996, Steinbaeh col., NMNH (1♂); Santa Cruz, Sara, Martinez col., NMNH (1♀); Serra da Bodoquena (MS—Brazil), 1941, FIOC (5♀); Carumbé ( Paraguay), 1966, MLCN (1♀).

Comments. This species is characterized by the absence of black spots on the scutellum, pronotum and connexivum, similar to the species from the obstinata group. However, it is included in the geniculata group because of the recovered synapomorphies of general and genital morphologies.
