(Figure 1)
Scaphytopius (Tumeus) rubidus DeLong, 1980: 67 [sp.nov.].
Type-locality: Rio Negro, Amazonas State, Brazil.
Length: 5.0 mm.
Coloration: Crown (Fig. 1A) white, frontal region with a pair of dark brown maculae that broaden and merge posteriorly; discal region with large light brown macula and pair of orange spots; with dark brown stripe over coronal suture. Frontoclypeus (Figs. 1B, 1C) light brown, with two dark brown maculae near transition from crown to face, and several white spots near lateral margins. Pronotum (Figs. 1A, 1B) light brown, with several dark brown spots; lateral margins, a pair of maculae and a longitudinal stripe over midlength, white; apical margin, white. Scutellum and exposed part of mesonotum (Figs. 1A, 1B) light brown, with pair of orange maculae near basolateral angles; pair of maculae over basolateral angles, pair of maculae on basal margin, pair of lateral maculae on apical portion and macula on apex, white. Forewing (Figs. 1A, 1B) white, subhyaline, with light brown veins and several light and dark brown areas forming indistinct zig-zag pattern over clavus and posterior part of corium, several round white spots bordered with brown well delimited. Ventral surface of body stramineous, with light and dark brown maculae.
External morphology: Head (Figs. 1A, 1B) with medium length slightly longer than length next to eye; lateral frontal suture touching ventral margin of ocellus. Clypellar suture arcuate (Fig. 1C). Other characters as in generic description.
Male genitalia: Pygofer (Figs.1D, 1E) posterior margin slightly angled.Valve (Fig.1F) subtriangular.Subgenital plate (Figs. 1G, 1H) without macrosetae; with several thin microsetae on outer lateral margin; apex acuminate; reaching apex of pygofer. Style (Figs. 1I, 1J) apex slightly sinuate. Connective (Fig. 1K, 1L) with anterior arms only slightly divergent, roundly expanded laterally. Aedeagus (Figs. 1M, 1N, 1O, 1P) with dorsal apodeme short, columnlike, shaft tubular, with two pairs of apical spinelike processes; basal pair shorter and nearly straight and extended dorsad almost perpendicular to shaft in lateral view; distal pair longer, slightly curved in lateral view, parallel in caudal view; gonopore on dorsal surface between anterior and posterior distal processes.
Material examined: Holotype male “ Rio Negro, marg. esq./ abaixo. I. Anayilhana / AM, 20-21.IV.1967 / Exp. Perm. Amaz; HOLOTYPE / Scaphytopius / (Tumeus)/ rubidus DeLong; OSUC 0169237.” (OSUC).
Notes: The exact location of the type locality is uncertain. The specimen label apparently refers to the left bank (“marg. esq.”) of the Rio Negro below (“abaixo”) the Anavilhanas Archipelago in Amazonas State, Brazil.
