description: Dissomphalus connubialis Evans, 1966
(Figs 170, 171)
Dissomphalus connubialis Evans, 1966: 106 (♂, holotype from Santa Catarina, MCZH, figs 9, 17); Redighieri & Azevedo, 2006: 320 –322.
Dissomphalus brasiliensis: Azevedo 2003: 65, part.
Diagnosis. Male. Dark castaneous, head Black; forewing subhyaline. Mandible with two apical teeth. Median clypeal lobe trapezoidal. Frons strongly coriaceous, punctures conspicuous. Vertex nearly straight. T2 with large, subtriangular lateral depression, slightly deep, dense short-setaed tuft in anterior half of depression, lateral margin with some setae. Hypopygium short, posterior margin concave. Genitalia: aedeagal ventral ramus as high as dorsal body and laterad to it, laminar, vertical surfaces, slightly sinuous, apex blunt; aedeagal dorsal body with three pairs apical lobes of about same size; inner pair elongated vesicle-shaped with rounded apex, median pair somewhat membranous, laminar, ventral, wide, densely setay internally; outer pair with apical projection inclined downward with serrated margin; basal process with three teeth somewhat directed upward, median tooth sharpened and slender, lateral teeth large with wide base and inner stub. Female known.
Variations. Some specimens showed variations in basal process and paramere wider. Redighieri & Azevedo (2006) suggest the transfer of this species to the conicus species-group. However, with better analysis of specimens, we realized that this species does not belong to conicus species-group.
Remarks. Eight specimens of D. connubialis were registered from Espírito Santo (Redighieri & Azevedo, 2006), and we add more 100 new ones. Additionally, we reidentified 35 specimens previously identified as D. brasiliensis by Azevedo (2003).
