(Figs 89–91)
Dissomphalus scamatus Azevedo, 1999a: 343 (♂, holotype from Paraná, DZUP, figs 88–92, 186); Redighieri & Azevedo, 2004: 329; 2006: 305.
Dissomphalus punctatus: Redighieri & Azevedo 2006: 310 –311, part.
Diagnosis. Male. Black. Mandible forming oblique cutting-edge, angulate medially. Clypeus with very large median tooth, as long as half length of clypeus medially. Front strongly coriaceous. Vertex straight. T2 with shallow, elliptical median depression, posterior margin concave medially, pair of conspicuous, elliptical and inclined tubercles, far from each other their smallest diameters, densely covered by setae. Genitalia: paramere wide; aedeagal ventral ramus as long as dorsal body, apical area laminar, surface vertical, ventral margin with row of 5–6 small ventral teeth, median area of ventral surface micro-scaled; dorsal body of aedeagus narrowing apically, apex denticulate in lateral view; inner surface densely setose. Female unknown.
Variations. Original description of genitalia was not based on the holotype. The size of the head varies between specimens.
Remarks. Six specimens of D. scamatus were registered from Espírito Santo (Redighieri & Azevedo, 2004; 2006), and we add more 45 new ones. Additionally, we reidentified two specimens previously identified as D. punctatus by Redighieri & Azevedo (2006) as D. scamatus.
