Sinervus venturai P. Ferreira & Martins, new species (Figs. 6-U, V)

Diagnosis. Pronotum mostly yellowish, save for collar and two tiny black dots at the base of the disc; scutellum dark brown with a vertical white line from apex to mesoscutum.

Description. Male (Holotype) measurement in Table 2. Body elongate, subparallel-sided, colorfuscous and black with hyaline hemelytra. Length 4 x width, dorsal vestiture apparently glabrous. Head declivent, mostly pale, shiny, smooth, and glabrous; front smooth, clypeus short, delimited, weakly convex, and whitish; dorsal region of head with narrow blackish transverse line between eyes and longitudinal, short line on vertex; black pedunculated eyes set away from anterior margin of pronotum; antennal fossa located above mandibular-maxillary plate suture, very close to inner margin of eye. Antenna cylindrical, with short hairs less than segment width; antennal segment I thinner and constricted in middle with area near base white and region near constriction dark; segment II yellowish with dark apex, length less than 2x segment I, thinner than segment I; segments III and IV very thin and dark. Pronotum conical, nearly glabrous, mostly pale yellowish, constricted in apical third, forming two lobes; anterior lobe limited by dorsal transverse suture including collar and callus area; posterior lobe strongly swollen, higher than previous one, formed by pronotum disc; anterior lobe with collar black and deeply punctate, weakly defined posteriorly; calli not well distinct by incomplete longitudinal groove; calli pale yellowish, smooth, swollen, shiny, strongly enlarged to lateral margins; posterior lobe deeply punctate, mostly yellowish, with two dark marks at base; due to transparency of region close to posterior margin of pronotum, false dark spot can be seen; humeral region protruding; pronotum lateral margin rounded; posterior margin concave. Mesoscutum dark (seen through transparency) and covered by posterior margin of pronotum. Scutellum dark with whitish longitudinal line originating from mesoscutum. Hemelytron hyaline, shiny, impunctate, apparently glabrous, and parallel-sided; cuneus long and narrow with length approximately 6x width, not reaching apex of membrane; clavus with claval commissure black not reaching apex; outer margin of cuneus darkened. Ventral surface uniformly pale yellowish with short and sparse setae; legs cylindrical, pale yellowish, with pretarsi dark brown; femora and tibiae with numerous, recumbent setae shorter than width of respective segments; abdomen smooth, pilosity with semi-adpressed sparse setae. Male genitalia as figure 11-O.

Plant Associations. Unknown.

Distribution. Brazil: Espírito Santo *.

Type material. Holotype ♂, Venda Nova do Imigrante, INCAPER—Faz. Exper., varredura, Col.: David, Luciano, Fiuza, 17/X/2018 (The male genitalia under the holotype male belong to a damaged exemplar with the same label data).

Etymology. The new species is named in honor of researcher Dr. José Aires Ventura from the INCAPER-Espírito Santo Institute for Research, Technical Assistance, and Rural Extension, in recognition of his significant contributions to science in Brazil, and for his dedication to research and agriculture in the state of Espírito Santo, especially in phytopathology.
