( Figs 94–97 )

Dissomphalus bahiensis Redighieri & Azevedo, 2006: 329 (Ƌ, holotype from Bahia, MZSP, figs 49, 50).

Diagnosis. Male. Black. Mandible with two apical teeth. Median clypeal lobe trapezoidal. Frons strongly coriaceous, punctures shallow. Vertex slightly convex. T2 with pair of sublateral setay tufts, which give risen directly from surface, without tubercle. Posterior hypopygeal margin straight. Genitalia: paramere elongate; dorsal margin straight, ventral margin sinuous; aedeagal ventral ramus much short than dorsal body, laminar, surface mostly horizontal, broad, apical margin inclined with small tooth; dorsal body de aedeagus with two pairs apical lobes; outer pair laminar, surface vertical, wide with apex rounded in lateral view, ventral margin serrate; inner pair membranous, stout and setay; basal process elongate, progressively narrowing apicad. Female unknown.

Remarks. This is the first record of this species (six specimens) from Espírito Santo. We allocated this species into punctatus species-group because of tergal processes has a circular depression, with margins not angulate, with dense tufts of setae directed backward, tubercles absent.
