description: <i>Sejanus fasciatus</i> Carvalho and Gross <i>Sejanus fasciatus</i> Carvalho and Gross, 1982: 34, figs. 56–58, 114 (n. sp., descr., disc., DV, MG). DISCUSSION: This species does not belong in Leucophoropterini based on the following characters: the endosoma is not C-, J-, or Sshaped (Carvalho and Gross, 1982: fig. 56), but tubular and twisted like many Hallodapini; antennal segments 2, 3, and 4 are more slender and narrow than antennal segment 1, whereas in Leucophoropterini they are equal to or of greater diameter than antennal segment 1; and the contrasting white of the basal half of the cuneus extends past the fracture and on to the corium, which is present only in <i>Blesingia promeceops</i> and <i>Ausejanus ansevata</i>, both of which have other characters that clearly place them in Leucophoropterini.
