Dissomphalus intradentatus Azevedo, 2001

( Figs 110–112 )

Dissomphalus intradentatus Azevedo, 2001: 174 , 186–187 (♂, holotype from Panama, PMAE, figs 82–88).

Diagnosis. Mandible bidentate. Clypeus tridentate. Tergal process with pair of antero-lateral depressions, ovoid, deep, large with small pit covered by tuft of long seate. Hypopygium with posterior margin slightly concave. Genitalia: paramere with apex concave; aedeagal ventral ramus shorter than aedeagal dorsal body, laminar, surface sub-horizontal; outer margin concave apically; apex acute, slightly diverging; aedeagal dorsal body with four pairs of apical lobes, outer pair laminar, surface vertical, narrowing at apex and directed downward, apical; dorsal margin with short expansion and small teeth; ventral margin with large tooth, three inner pairs stout, membranose and setose; basal process with pair of lateral teeth directed outward, margin between them straight. Apodeme not extending beyond genital ring.

Remarks. This species is known to Panama ( Azevedo 2001) and here more specimens are added. Some variations are worth to mention: mesosoma and metasoma castaneous; median clypeal tooth angulate; median clypeal carina complete apically; vertex crest straight; anterior margin of pronotal disc ecarinate; basal process of aedeagal dorsal body without teeth.
