description: Buenoa amnigenus (White, 1879)
Fig. 10 A
Anisops amnigenus White, 1879: 271 [original description].
Buenoa amnigenus; Kirkaldy (1904): 120 [genus transfer].
Diagnosis.
Small species, male length 4.8–5.4 mm. Synthlipsis very narrow, <1 / 10 of vertex width. Labrum sided by pair of tufts of setae. Labial prong slightly longer than third labial article, originating proximally on article. Fore femur without stridulatory area.
Taxonomic notes.
A member of the salutis group. It differs from the most similar species, B. amnigenoidea Nieser, 1970, by the chaetotaxy of the labrum and minor characteristics of the fore trochanter, femur, and tibia. Also, from B. amnigenopsis Nieser, 1975 by the presence of a notch on the apex of the fore femur of this species, which is absent in B. amnigenus. Finally, it can be distinguished from B. salutis based on the larger size, narrower synthlipsis and more pronounced tylus. More detailed comparisons between species of this group can be found in Barbosa and Nessimian (2013 a).
