Hebardomastax atopa ( Hebard, 1923) n. comb.

( Figs. 97–102 , 113–114 )

Genital description. Medial margin of epiphallic disc slender, lateral lobes slightly widened and shoulder-blade shaped; hook-shaped lophi, gradually curving upwards. Ectophallic valves not very developed and with tip not pointy ( Figs. 98–99 ). Membranous endophallus and with wide lateral rods, distal margin narrow ( Fig. 100 ).

Comments. Found often near C. insignis , in high relative humidity forests, but always less often and in less number than C. insignis . They are rare and their distribution is not wide in altitude nor spatially. This species is sensitive to climatic change, becoming rarer in harsh dry seasons.
