description: Ischnopelta wigodzinskyi Rosso & Campos, sp. n. (Figs. 5N, 48–49)
Etymology. Epithet probably proposed by Dr. Miriam Becker in honor of Petr Wolfgang Wygodzinsky (5.X.1916 – 27.I.1987), German entomologist which worked in Argentina, Brazil, and United States of America, especially with Reduviidae.

Description. The overall somatic morphology is as described for I. scutellata, except for the following features. Head. Labrum inserted anteriorly to half the distance between the anterior margin of the eyes and the apex of mandibular plates. Antennae: segment I dark yellowish; segments II and III dorsally dark yellowish and ventrally brown, segment III dorsally punctured; segments IV and V brown; segments ratio: I>II<III<IV<V.
Thorax. Hemelytra: corium as long as scutellum; conspicuous spot at apex of the radial vein.
Abdomen. Male urosternite VII unarmed.
Male. Apical margin of membrane of hemelytra convex; median portion of posterior margin of urosternite VII concave; urosternite VII not reaching anteriorly the imaginary line connecting the spiracles of sternite V. Genitalia. Pygophore with dorsal rim sinuous (Fig. 48C, dr) and ventral rim shallowly concave (Fig. 48D, vr). Posterolateral angles 0.3 times shorter than the rest of the pygophore, perpendicular to the frontal plane and subparallel (Fig. 48C–E, pla). Setae short in a band on the ventral rim and outer surface of the posterolateral angles; 1 + 1 tufts of long setae on apices of posterolateral angles. Segment X wider than long, surpassing the apex of parameres and posterolateral angles; cordiform; laterobasal surface more sclerotized and densely covered by setae, apical margin sclerotized, emarginated and covered by setae; mid-longitudinal region membranous (Figs. 48C and E, X; 48L–M). Parameres spatulate, flat, oblique to the frontal plane; outer margin sinuous, distal portion strongly convex; inner margin sinuous; apical margin sinuous and forming a minute process on the inner margin; apical portion covered by setae (Figs. 48D–E, pa; 48F–I). Cup-like sclerites externally visible ad with divergent apices (Fig. 48D, cls). Phallus: proximal portion of vesica almost as wide as distal margin of phallotheca, ventrally and dorsoposteriorlly expanded; distal portion subcylyndrical and ventrally directed; apical portion posteriorly directed; secondary gonopore beveled (Fig. 48J–K).
Legend: tl, total length; mw, maximum width (at the sternite III level); hl, head length; cl, clypeus length; hw, head width; iod, interocellar distance; ied, interocular distance; pl, pronotum length; haw, pronotum width at the level of humeral angles; aaw, pronotum width at the level of anterolateral angles; sl, scutellum length; fll, frenal lobe length; pfl, post-frenal lobe length; bsw, basal scutellum width; fcw; scutellum width at the level of frenal constriction; I, II, III, IV and V, antennal and labium segments length.
Female. Membrane of hemelytra not reaching the posterior margin of mediotergite VIII, posterior margin convex; median portion of posterior margin of mediotergite VIII and median portion of posterior margin of urosternite VII subrectilinear; projections on the lateral 1/3 of posterior margin of urosternite VII absent.
Genitalia. Valvifers VIII wider than long; posterior margin sinuous with a triangular projection at the lateral angle; sutural margins subrectilinear and folded dorsally; surface dark yellowish with brown punctures, setae on the sutural margins and on median portion of the posterior margin; longitudinal grooves narrow and shallow on basal portion (Figs. 5N; 49C, vf8). Valvifers IX covered by the valvifers VIII, lateral margin subrectilinear, setae on mid-basal portion of ventral surface (Fig. 49C–D, vf9). Laterotergites IX not reaching the posterior margin of mediotergite VIII; lateral margin convex; setae on midbasal portion of lateral margin and ventral surface (Fig. 49C–D, la9). Thickening of vaginal intima sub hexagonal, wider than long; distal margin weakly emarginated; laterals weakly sclerotized; median subrectangular area membranous (Fig. 49D, vi). Vesicular area anterior to the collar 1/7 of the posterior portion; median duct anterior to the collar with slight proximal widening (Fig. 49D, mdp); median duct posterior to the collar with proximal and distal widening (Fig. 49D, md); inner duct coiled in the proximal widening (Fig. 49D, id). Distal ductus receptaculi of same caliber as the proximal (Fig. 49D, drd, drp). Pars intermedialisbroader distally (Fig. 49D, pi); proximal annular crest directed to the ductus receptaculi; distal annular crest perpendicular to the pars intermedialis (Fig. 49D, dac, pac). Capsula seminalis globose; long and sinuous laterobasal projection surpassing the proximal annular crest; laterodistal projection short (Fig. 49D, cs, pr).
Measurements: Table 22.
Distribution. Brazil (Tocantins, Goiás) (Fig. 8).
Comments. See comments in I. vellozia sp. n .. The segment X on males of Ischnopelta wigodizinkyi sp. n., although cordiform, has the apical margin less emarginated, and the setae denser on the laterobasal margins (Fig. 48L–M).
