Dissomphalus jurupari Colombo & Azevedo sp. nov.

(Figs 38–41)

Description. Male. Head and mesosoma black; metasoma dark castaneous. Mandible with two apical teeth; median clypeal lobe tridentate, median tooth rounded; frons coriaceous, punctate; eyes glabrous. Notauli complete; pronotal disc coriaceous. Tergal process with non-conspicuous depressions, margins not angulate, dense tufts few setae weakly directed backward, tubercle absent. Posterior hypopygeal margin straight. Genitalia: paramere with straight apex, arched inward, wide basally, higher than the basiparamere, large bristles present in ventral view; aedeagal ventral ramus shorter than dorsal body, apex very narrow, laminar, translucid; aedeagal dorsal body with three pair of apical lobes, outer pair long, curved ventrally, dorsal pair smaller than outer pair, curved ventrally, inner pair membranous, basal process absent; apodeme extending beyond genital ring. Female unknown.

Remarks. This species belongs to the punctatus species-group by having the tergal process with weak tufts of setae directed backward, and the tubercles absent. It is important to note that the tergal process is not the standard found in punctatus species-group. However, it fits into the definition of the group, even with few bristles. This species is similar to Dissomphalus acutipupu sp. nov., by having the median clypeal lobe tridentate, the paramere very wide, especially basally, higher than the basiparamere, the basal process absent. However, D. jurupari sp. nov. has the mandible bidentate and the posterior hypopygeal margin straight, whereas D. acutipupu sp. nov., has the mandible tridentate and the posterior hypopygeal margin weakly concave.
