Etymology. The name of this species is a tribute to Fernando Campos de Domenico, a Brazilian entomologist, in recognition of all of his contributions to the study of Proscopiidae.

Diagnosis. Fastigium with rounded apex in dorsal view, with constant from base to apex, bacilliform; in lateral view with slender aspect, being 1.5 times longer than wide, with round apex (Fig. 58A). Transverse sclerite translucent; posterior margin sinuous (Fig. 59A). Branch of lophi slender, with mesial margin sinuous, forming constrictions basally and apically (Fig. 59A). Accessory plate anteriorly in the form of a widened tube; posteriorly also tubuliform (Fig. 59B). Sclerite of distal sac small, inconspicuous (Figs. 59B–C).

Description. Coloration only known by dry specimen, with the body mostly dark brown, varying between 6.5 and 6.8 cm. The spots on gena are very faintly recognized, near the epimeron regions 1 and 2 and subgenital plate are preserved and slightly visible, being light brown (Figs. 58A–B). Head. With slight constriction below the eye in dorsal view (Fig. 58A). Frons rugose. Gena rugose with light brown spot, inconspicuous (Fig. 58B). Fastigium with rounded apex in dorsal view, with constant from base to apex, bacilliform (Fig. 58A); in lateral view with slender aspect, being 2.2 times longer than wide, with round apex (Fig. 58B). Thorax. Prothorax 3.6 times longer than meso- and metathorax combined; covered by minute granulation and having a rugose aspect (Fig. 58A–B). Posterior femur reaching the basal third of the tergite 5 (Fig. 58B). Posterior tibia with 10 anterodorsal and 11 posterodorsal spines (Figs. 58A–B). Abdomen. Abdominal segments 8–10 with inconspicuous setae (Figs. 58A–B). Tergite 9 in lateral view with straight margins (Fig. 58E). Tergite 10 with convex dorsal margin (Fig. 58E). Sternite 8 1.4 times shorter than sternite 9 (Figs. 58E–F). Genitalia. Transverse sclerite translucent, with anterior margin nearly straight; posterior margin sinuous (Fig. 59A). Branch of lophi slender, with mesial margin sinuous, forming constrictions basally and apically (Fig. 59A). Hook of lophi in dorsal view curled anteriorad, conspicuously arched, with apex rhomboid; in lateral view elongated, with margins straight, pointing diagonally (Fig. 59B). Ectophallic valves not joining, subtriangular in dorsal view; with rounded small dots (Fig. 59A). Distal sac membranous, except for the sclerite of distal sac posteriorly; entirely with irregular shape (Figs. B–C). Proximal sac membranous and indistinguishable from distal sac. Accessory plate anteriorly in the form of a widened tube; posteriorly also tubuliform (Fig. 59B). Sclerite of distal sac small, inconspicuous (Figs. 59B–C).
