Diagnosis. Mandible bidentate. Clypeus trapezoidal. Tergal process with very shallow, small and rounded depressions covered with dense tuft of setae directed backward. Hypopygium with dorsal margin straight. Genitalia: paramere with rounded apex with dorsal margin straight; aedeagal ventral ramus slightly shorter than aedeagal dorsal body, sinuous and wide; with apical filament directed outward; aedeagal dorsal body with two pairs of apical lobes; dorsal lobe with filament with sharpened apex, inner surface setose, vertical; ventral lobe longer, membranous, wide with rounded apex in lateral view, surfaces vertical; inner lobe densely setose. Apodeme extending beyond genital ring.
Remarks. This species is known to Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil (Amazonas, Acre, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Paraná). Now some specimens are added. Some variations are worth to mention: median clypeal tooth angulate; median clypeal carina straight and complete apically; anterior margin of pronotal disc coarse; tergal process with very shallow depression; paramere short, wider and apical margin straight; basivolsella with a rounded expansion.
