Diagnosis. Male cercus with numerous long setae of the same length on cercal base (Figs 37–38, 50); vesica formed of two blackish and sclerotized lobes with a cracked-looking integument and inner ventral margin as two long projections covered with microtrichia (Figs 39–40, 50); juxta formed of two lobes, well-individualized juxtal lobes with latero-anterior membranous projections (Figs 39–40, 50). Female T6 undivided and convex along midline, without a longitudinal crease, and with conspicuous golden setulae along apical margin (Fig. 56); ST5 wider than long; ST7 about 3x as long as ST6, with a discal concavity near middle (Fig. 56); ST8 membranous and not very distinct; epiproct membranous, with two pairs of setae.
Redescription. Differs from U. squamata sp. nov. as follows:
Male (n = 8). Length: 8–13 mm; parafacial, fronto-orbital plate and posterior ocular orbits with golden pruinosity; frons about 0.22x head width at level of ocellar triangle; frontal vitta blackish along its whole length; 10–12 well-developed frontal setae reaching level of apex of pedicel; T5 with about 10 marginal setae and a set of long setae concentrated on ventral margin; cerci fused along their whole length and with apex truncate (posterior view), cercal prong blackish distally and with a small, anteriorly curved projection (lateral view) (Figs 37–38, 50); pregonite of similar length as postgonite, with a narrow apex, median projection and a weakly sclerotized area near apex in anterior margin (Fig. 39); postgonite almost straight, with narrow base and a long seta inserted almost in the middle (Fig. 39); basiphallus longer than distiphallus (Fig. 39); vesica formed of lobes with a dark margin, with a cracked-looking integument; inner ventral margin of vesica as two elongated projections covered with microtrichia (Figs 39–40, 50); juxtal lobes with latero-anterior membranous projections (Fig. 39); lateral stylus a bit shorter than median stylus (Fig. 40).
Female (n = 2). Length: 10–13 mm; frons about 0.27x head width at level of ocellar triangle; 9 well-developed frontal setae; ST4 with two pairs of long setae; ST5 wider than long; T6 undivided and convex along midline, without a longitudinal crease and with conspicuous golden setulae along posterior margin (Fig. 56); ST7 about 3x as long as ST6, with a discal concavity near middle (Fig. 56); ST8 membranous and not very distinct; epiproct membranous, with two pairs of setae (Lopes 1940: figs 35–36).
Distribution. Argentina (Misiones, Salta *); Brazil (Mato Grosso *, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul *, Santa Catarina).
Remarks. Udamopyga provecta is morphologically similar to U. percita and U. setigena. See remarks under U. percita.
