Description
Taphura sauliensis Boulard, 1971
Taphura sauliensis Boulard 1971: 688. (Saul, center of village, French Guiana)
REMARKS. The claspers of T. sauliensis bifurcate at their terminus and bent towards the midline and the basal pygofer lobes are rounded finger-like extensions. The transverse mark in the pronotal ambient fissure is split into three parts in T. sauliensis but is a single mark in T. hastifera and the claspers of T. hastifera are claw-like rather than bifurcating at the terminus. Taphura boulardi can be distinguished quickly by the five spots on the head. This species differs from T. attiguclava and T. nitida in the absence of a piceous transverse band on the anterior abdominal tergites (Sanborn 2017a).
DISTRIBUTION. The currently known distribution of the species includes Ecuador, French Guiana, Colombia, Peru, and Trinidad & Tobago (Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2013; 2017a), with the first records for Venezuela reported recently (Sanborn 2020a). Pogue (1996) reported the species from Pakitza and Tambopata.
