Fig. 17J

Distribution: Brazil: Paraná, Santa Catarina; Peru: Atalaya.

New record for the Paraná State.

Comments: Here we recorded for the first time the male of the species. Males present a subgenital plate common to the species of the genus, rounded, without a median keel, with posterior processes relatively long and with many bristles. The cerci are long, pilose, a little longer than the subgenital plate, with a straight and large base, with a curved apex, similar to a spatula, and with a little apical spine.

Bioacoustics: Sound not recorded.
