This species is morphologically similar to Sendaphne penteadodiasae but it has a slightly different color pattern, fore wing vein 1Cu-a much shorter than vein 1Cu-b (subequal in Sendaphne penteadodiasae ), much longer and narrow T1, and slightly longer metacoxa.

Distribution.

Only known from the type locality in Brazil.

Molecular data.

No specimen is known to have been sampled for DNA.

Comments.

We could not study a specimen of this species, but the original description is sufficiently detailed for recognition, including several line drawings of the metasoma, fore wing, tip of antenna and hind leg ( Penteado-Dias 1995).
