Subgenital plate ( Fig. 51) 2.8 times longer than wide; apical third tapered; apex subacute. Connective ( Fig. 52) Y-shaped, with rami shorter than stalk; stalk elongate. Style ( Fig. 52), in dorsal view, with outer lobe small and rounded; in lateral view ( Fig. 53), ventral protrusion elongated, approximately four times longer than maximum width, apex curved ventrally and serrated; blade elongated, same height along its entire length, apical third bent dorsally, apex with acute tip. Aedeagus ( Figs 54, 55) with atrial processes short, elongated and membranous, one-fifth of shaft length; shaft elongated, flattened in lateral view and with apex wide in posterior view, an anteapical pair of spiniform processes arising from posterior surface on apical fifth, apex with membranous projection directed ventrally.   FIGURES 32–43.  P.

Scale bars: 56 = 1.0 mm, 57–59 = 0.5 mm.  Female terminalia.Sternite VII ( Fig. 56) 1.5 times wider than long; posterolateral corners rounded; posterior margin with broad median lobe, slightly more produced posteriorly than lateral angles, and with very small Vshaped notch at middle. Pygofer ( Fig. 57) 1.6 times longer than maximum height. First valvifer ( Fig. 58) 2.4 times higher than long. First and second valves ( Figs 58, 59) as in the generic description.   Etymology.The new species name refers to the shape of the aedeagus in posterior view, which resembles an elapid snake of the genus  Naja.     Materialexamined. Holotypemale:" Brasil, Minas Gerais,\ Itamarandiba-\ aeroporto  09–16.II.2013\ Malaise\ G.

(V.) sapitanduva  sp. nov.in having the aedeagal shaft, elongated and curved with a pair of short processes on the posterior surface. However, the new species can be easily separated from other species of Varpulanaby the very short and membranous atrial processes and the aedeagal shaft with apex flattened in lateral view and wide in posterior view. 1440785848 2013-02-09 2013-02-16 2013-02-09 DZUP Malaise & G.
