Treatment

Dohrniphora divaricata (Aldrich, 1896) View in CoL

Phora divaricata Aldrich 1896: 437 View in CoL .

Dohrniphora divaricata View in CoL —Borgmeier 1961: 111.

Dohrniphora obscuriventris Borgmeier 1925: 105 View in CoL . Synonymized by Disney and Kistner 1997: 24.

Dohrniphora diffusa Borgmeier 1960: 281–282 View in CoL , fig. 35; 1961: 111.

Dohrniphora recurvata Borgmeier 1960: 272 View in CoL , fig. 20— Brown and Kung 2010: 91.

Material examined. Point 43 (1♂, DZUP); point 49 (2♂, DZUP).

Diagnostic characters. This species varies extensively on the number and disposition of the peg-like setae. According to Kung and Brown (2006) the posterior face of the hind femur has usually 2 rows along the ventral margin, in addition to a larger group of setae dorsal to that row (Kung and Brown 2006, figs 5–12, 20, 27–28). Our specimens are very similar to those illustrated by Borgmeier and Prado (1975: fig. 27) as D. obscuriventris .

Distribution. Widespread in the New World tropical lowlands to the United States of America.

Updated distribution for Brazil. Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, and Santa Catarina.
