Description

Smilidarnis is fixed as the correct original spelling. Smilidarnis similifasciatus, sp. nov., from Bolivia and French Guiana, closely resembles S. fasciatus Andrade in being brightly colored but differs in the metathoracic tibial chaetotaxy, the male pygofer, first anal segment, aedeagus, and color pattern. In this new species, which is larger than S. fasciatus, females are larger than males. Photographs of the male and female adults and genitalia of the new species are provided. Bolivia is a new country record for the genus. A key to all species is provided.
