(Figs. 45, 68 E–F, 72)
Etymology. Named after the Country of the type locality of the species.
Material examined. Holotype male. SURINAME: Salingre, nr. 255 (ZMH).
Measurements (n= 1). Total length: 19.7; head length: 1.7; head width: 3.4; pronotum length: 3.9; pronotum width: 13.5; scutellum length: 9.1; scutellum width: 7.0; abdominal width: 11.4; length antennomeres: I: 1.0; II: 1.5; III: 2.0; IV: 3.0; V: 3.7.
Diagnosis. Large (19.7 mm). Dorsal body surface olive green, densely punctured (Fig. 68 E). Ventral surface dark yellow with transversal black bands on thorax and abdomen (Fig. 68 F). Head with concolorous with the surrounding surface to brown punctures. Antennae yellow (Fig. 68 E–F). Pronotum with brown punctures (Fig. 68 E); anterolateral margin and cicatrices with black punctures. Humeral angles short (1.25 times wider than long); apex with brown spot expanded over the disc of the pronotum in dorsal view; bent backward (Fig. 68 E–F). Scutellum with brown punctures; apex not reaching the end of coria (Fig. 68 E). Coria with all veins concolorous with the surrounding surface (Fig. 68 E). Connexival segments with concavities almost entirely covered by subrectangular black spots separated by a large yellow median spot (Fig. 68 E), spots extending ventrally, subrectangular (Fig. 68 F). Posterolateral angles of connexivum with apices black (Fig. 68 E). Ventral surface, thorax with black bands; dark band of the propleura covering 2/3 of the width of the sclerite (Fig. 68 F). Proepisternum with band and dark punctures (Fig. 68 F). Evaporatorium concolorous with the surrounding surface; peritreme straight (Fig. 68 F). Metasternal process (Fig. 45 F) with arms of anterior bifurcation straight and laterally expanded at apex; anterior bifurcation slightly excavated does not reach the fourth rostral segment. Legs with tarsi somewhat darker than the other articles, reddish brown (Fig. 68 F). Abdomen with spine of segment III rounded (Figs. 45 F; 68 F). Intersegmental areas covered by wide solid black bands with smudged margins, reaching the lateral spots (Fig. 68 F). Pseudosutures solid black with well-defined margins (Fig. 68 F). Near the spiracle a circular black spot (Fig. 68 F). Median longitudinal brown band complete (Fig. 68 F). Trichobothria one in line with spiracle and the other laterad. Male genitalia, posterolateral angles of pygophore very developed, well projected laterally, apices internally with spots black (Fig. 45 A–B, D). Superior processes of the genital cup rectangular, thick, in flattened and coarse posterior view, continuing ventrally in a crenulate high carina (Fig. 45 B, D–E, crenulate carina barely visible). Parameres (Fig. 45 D–E) anterior lobe rounded; dorsal lobe subtriangular, with curved apex; posterior lobe subrectangular, with curved apex. Proctiger, posterior face subtriangular (Fig. 45 D–E). Surface ventral with dark spot medial and laterally (Fig. 45 C). Ventral rim with lateral subdistal tuft of setae (Fig. 45 C, E); with expansions undeveloped and concolorous with the surrounding surface (Fig. 45 C). Female genitalia. Unknown.
