Description
Heza gilsantanai Bérenger, 2007
Heza gilsantanai was recently described based on two males from French Guiana. The female from state of Pará, Brazil is very similar to the description furnished by Bérenger (2007) (Figs. 4–9).
Remarks. The mesepisternum of H. gilsantanai is flat, without a raised tubercle (“ plica”) (Fig. 6), the character mostly used to separate Heza spp. from members of other close genera (Champion 1898; Maldonado 1976). There are very few differences between the description of the species by Bérenger (2007) and the specimen examined, as follows. Total length: from tip of membrane 16.5 mm, and 16.0 mm to tip of abdomen. Connexivum with pale markings in middle portion of segments I–VI; central portion of 7th sternite with oval blackish depression with mildly elevated borders (Fig. 8). The ventral part of the 8th segment is absent (Fig. 9).
Material examined: BRAZIL, 1 female, Pará, Serra Norte, Ig.[uarapé] Pojuca, 27-II-1984 [MNRJ].
