Holotype. BRAZIL: Nova Teutônia, Santa Catarina, 10/iii/1936, 1♂ (F. Plaumann) (NHM –UK). Paratype, BRAZIL: Mananciais da Serra do Mar, Piraquara, Paraná, 06/xii/2007, 1♂ (J. A. Rafael) (INPA).
Male description. Structure: Supra-antennal plates separated medially, with a depressed circular point centrally above it; mesopleural transverse sulcus broad and well-marked; forewings hyaline, ferruginous on the anterior margins and stigma. The marginal cell feebly darker than the rest of the wing; epipygium with deep lateral and sublateral punctures, with dorsal-apical surface smooth. The sublateral punctures slightly stretched forming raised rugosities; first metasomal sternite with tuft of hairs growing medially on the ventral surface, emerging from a slight elevation; hypopygium subquadrate, with rounded margin broadly enlarged laterally and apically. The apical border with a slight central invagination and two tiny extensions up-folded;
Genital capsule: Basal ring long, with its dorsal surface longer on its apical margin. With a longitudinal line medially in dorsal view; gonocoxite slightly tapering towards the apex, with less than 3/4 the gonostylus extension, strongly depressed basally. The apex rounded and separated, feebly curved ventrally in lateral view; aedeagus lamellate, with about 4/5 the gonostylus extension, with a small rounded lobe apically; gonostylus subquadrate, feebly tapering towards the slightly rounded apex. With golden pubescence on the half apical region.
Coloration. Body black with several yellow markings. Clypeus except for the basal and apical margins. Mandibles with dark margins and teeth. Supra-antennal plates, except for a line between them. Scape can be almost entirely yellow or just with diffuse spots on the ventral surface. Bands contouring the frontal margin of the eyes, from the clypeus margin to the anterior ocelli. And the genal margin of the eyes narrowing towards the vertex. A spot covering the space between the ocelli. The anterior margin of the neck. The anterior margin of the pronotum, interrupted dorsally and stretching to the lateral margin, where is broadened and almost or not fused to the fasciae of the posterior margin. Mesepisternal lamellae and tegulae yellow. A pair of diffuse impressions on the mesoscutum surface. Two oval spots on the middle of the scutellum and two smaller ones on the antero-lateral margin. The metanotum except for the fossae. The metapleuron almost completely yellow. Propodeum with a pair of large spots ‘u’ shaped and a small one before the petiolar socket. Mesopleuron except for the transverse sulcus and margins. Legs except for the castaneus tarsi and dark diffuse spots on the trochanter and dorsal surface of the femora. The lateral of the tergite I, stretching and converging on a submarginal transverse posterior fasciae. Trasversal fasciae before the apex of tergite I–V, broader on the lateral and narrowing towards the dorsal surface. Sternite I with a circular diffuse spot medially, with a pair of smaller ones aside it. Broad transverse fasciae on the sternite II–IV.
Female: unknown.
Etymology. From Latin, latera —“sides”, “lateral”; and latus —“broad”, “wide’. Referring to the margin of the hypopygium, that is enlarged and broad laterally.
Distribution. Known from the southeastern Atlantic Forest, in the southern region of Brazil.
