Pseudosympycnus latipes (Parent) View in CoL

( Figs. 6A–B View Figure 6 ).

Sympycnus latipes Parent, 1930: 23 View in CoL , Figs. 28–30. Type locality: Taperinha farm, Santarém, Pará, Brazil .

Diagnosis. See Soares and Capellari (2020) for diagnosis and photographs.

Hypopygium ( Figs.6A–B View Figure 6 ). Similar to P. pennipes sp. nov. except as noted: ventral lobe of surstylus wide, with 4 long setae at ventral edge and few setae at dorsal edge; dorsal lobe of surstylus short, triangular, narrower than ventral lobe, with pointed apex; cercus short, shorter than ventral lobe of surstylus, with pointed apex and covered with long setae; epandrial lobe short, with 1 short setae at apex; phallus: arched ventrally; postgonites wide and cap-like at apex.

Material examined. “ Peru: Cusco, Quincemil / 13º13′03.4″S 70º43′40″W / 633m, 23–31.viii.2012 ” “Sweep, J.A.Rafael / R.R. Cavichioli & D.M. Takiya ” (2 ♂, INPA, one specimen with detached genitalia stored in microvial with glycerin; 1 ♂, MUSM) GoogleMaps .

Distribution. Brazil (States of Acre, Amapá and Pará) ( Soares and Capellari 2020), Peru (Department of Cusco) new record.

Remarks. Pseudosympycnus latipes is similar to P.araza, differing from it by the femur I without long seta near base (P. araza with 1 conspicuous ventral seta near basal 1/4, almost as long as half-length of femur) and IIt 5 unmodified (P.araza with IIt 5 conspicuously flattened and white). Pseudosympycnus latipes is also similar to P. pennipes sp. nov., but can be differentiated by the tibia I with anterodorsal row of setae as long as diameter of tibia (tibia I without anterodorsal row of setae in P. pennipes sp. nov.) and IIIt 5 unmodified ( P. pennipes sp. nov. with anterodorsal to posterodorsal rows of long, slender and curved setae).
