Distribution of  Acrotaphus homeofranklini  sp. n.in the Neotropical region.  Coloration.Head black, mouthparts orange; antenna brownish. Mesosoma orange, with propleuron, pronotum, mesoscutum, basal half of the scutellum and mesopleuron, except posterior margin black. Metasoma orange with tergites V+ black. Anterior and mid leg entirely orange, hind leg entirely black. Wings yellowish; fore wing with apex distal to 2 rs-mblack, and with a black median band extending backwards from anterior margin, just proximal to the pterostigma, right through the 1 stsubdiscal cell; pterostigma yellowish. Ovipositor brownish, with its base and apex pallid and sheath dark brown.  Male.Unknown.  Variation.Some specimens have hind leg with proximal half of the femur brownish.   Type material:   Holotype: ♀, BRAZIL, Amazonas, Manaus, Reserva Ducke, Platô Leste/ Oeste,  14.ii– 06.iii.2007, Malaise( G.
