No full textDissomphalus miriamae Colombo & Azevedo, sp. nov. (Figs 12, 150, 151) Description. Male. Head and mesosoma black; metasoma dark castaneous or black. Mandible with two apical teeth; clypeus broadly projected forward, median tooth weakly rounded; frons weakly coriaceous and punctate. Mesosoma. Weakly coriaceous. T2 without tergal process. Posterior hypopygeal margin concave. Genitalia: paramere small in dorsal view, apex rounded, arched, smaller than basiparamere; cuspis wide; digitus wide; aedeagal ventral ramus smaller than dorsal body, apex ill defined, laminar, narrow; aedeagal dorsal body with one pair of apical lobes, inner pair with apex rounded in dorsal view, inner pair weakly serrate; basal process ill defined; apodeme extending beyond genital ring. Female unknown. Remarks. This species is allocated in amplus species-group by having the tergal process absent. This species not is similar other of species-group. This species is mainly different because has the aedeagal dorsal body with one pair of apical lobes and inner pair weakly serrate. Material examined.

T2 with lateral pair of elliptical and inclined depression, linear and elliptical tufts of setae present. Posterior hypopygeal margin weakly convex. Genitalia: paramere with apex rounded, constricted, arched inward, wide, longer than basiparamere; digitus with large basal projection, serrate; aedeagal ventral ramus smaller than dorsal body, laminar, narrow, rounded apex, tapering from base to apex, base with process, inner margin waved; dorsal body with two pairs apical lobes, outer pair laminar, surface vertical, apex rounded in lateral view, serrate, inner pair membranous, basal process bifurcated, serrate; apodeme extending beyond genital ring. Female unknown. Remarks. This species is now included in rufipalpis species-group by having the tergal process with pair of elliptical and inclined depression with linear and elliptical tufts of setae.
