Supra-anal plate transverse with the distal margin bilobated. In the genital chamber the right-side paraproct hook-shaped with its apex directed apically (Figs. 2–3). Subgenital plate slightly asymmetrical with simple styles (Fig. 4).</p><p>Left phallomeres, subdivided in L1 and L2. The first genital sclerite L1 (Fig. 15) very well developed and various areas darkly sclerotized. L1 presenting a cleft with a sigmoid shape and a narrow aperture.</p><p>L2 placed medially with two intimately articulated articles. The ventromedial article L2vm (Fig. 16) with a well developed posterior apophysis, which extends dorsally (laterally in the photograph). Its posterior apophysis with a wide base that tappers distally. The dorsal article L2d (Fig. 16) with curved dorsal process under L2vm apophysis.</p><p>The right phallomere R2 a hooked sclerite retracted in a soft cuticular tube. The apical third (Figs. 17–18) sclerotized, with a globulous subconic base and a hooked apex with a narrow subapical incision that forms a free blade shaped lamina with a rounded apex.</p><p>External morphology of the female (Fig. 6). Size similar to male (Table 1). Female pronotal fissures (Fig. 5) narrower than those of male. Front leg type D, with ventral anterior and posterior margins unarmed and genicular spine absent. Tibial formula with the same distribution as those in the male and nymph [5–6*2*1] [10*2*4] [13*2*8]. The cerci tapering distally with color similar to male. Supranal plate darker than male. Subgenital plate with different shape with a clear subapical area (Fig. 7).</p><p>Mature nymph (Fig. 9). Body length 23 mm; pronotum length 4.45 mm; pronotum width 9 mm; interocular distance 2 mm; interantennal distance 2 mm; interocelar distance 1.55 mm.</p><p>The nymph with a pronotum not bifissate, but the fissures feeble, insinuated on the pronotal anterior border (Fig. 8). The mature nymph is likely to develop into a female, a deduction based on the absence of the styli (Fig. 10) and the measurements similar to those of the female. The pharate adult can be observed by transparent cuticle; its pronotal lateral wings and fissures are evident.</p><p>Species S. lizeri S. peculiaris S. microschistos Country Argentina Bolivia Brasil Colombia</p><p>Sex M F M M M F Body length 20.80–25.90 23.00 20.00 26.80 25.00 27.00–28.50 Pronotum length 3.80–4.20 4.60 4.90 6.30 5.30–5.50 5.80 Pronotum width 8.00–9.35 8.90 8.60 11.40 10.80–11.00 12.00–12.50 Tegmen length 19.30–20.40 19.90 19.40 23.00 23.5–24.00 27.00 Tegmen width 5.30–6.00 6.00 6.90 8.20 8.00 9.00 Inter ocular distance 1.70–1.85 2.00 1.58 1.51 1.50 1.70–1.80 Inter antenal distance 2.00–2.15 2.50 2.16 2.15 2.00 2.10–2.20 Inter ocelar distance 1.35–1.45 1.50 1.34 1.45</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AB3C87DEFFE6FFAEFF24FE30FCF47C6D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The right paraproct has a hooked-shape and its tip is directed apically in S. lizeri, while in S. microschistos the paraproct is humped and ends directed caudally.</p><p>L1. Similar to S. microschistos (Fig. 11) with a sigmoid shape and narrow open angle while S. peculiaris (Fig. 19) presents a wider angle and its cleft has a concave shape.</p><p>L2vm. The posterior apophysis has a particular shape for each species. In S. peculiaris (Fig. 20) it has a wide base tapering to its blunt apex. S. lizeri (Fig. 16) presents a similar smaller structure. S. microschistos has a different shape (Fig. 12).</p><p>L2d. In S. microschistos (Fig. 12), it extends upwards but has a sigmoid shape and surpasses the posterior apophysis of L2vm to the right (Fig. 12). In S. lizeri, it has the same sigmoid shape but it is placed under the posterior apophysis of L2vm (Fig. 16). In S. peculiaris, the process extends arched upwards towards the posterior apophysis of L2vm (Fig. 20).</p><p>R2. S. lizeri presents a globulous base and its hook has a shallow and narrow subapical incision; the lamina has the shape of a blade with a rounded apex (Figs. 17–18). S. microschistos has a thinner base and its hook has a similar shape to that in S. lizeri but the subapical incision is wider and deeper and the lamina presents a rounded blade apex (Figs. 13–14). S. peculiaris has a base similar to that in S. lizeri and a subapical incision wider than that in S. microschistos, but the apex of the blade ends in an acute angle (Figs. 21–22).</p><p>Female. Female body length of S. lizeri and S. microschistos differ but male measurements overlap (Table 1).</p><p>S. lizeri female pronotal fissures are deep but less widened than those of the male and differs from both sexes of S. microschistos .</p><p>The comparative study Schistopeltis species allows the incorporation of new characters for more accurate identification of species. The addition to the currently used taxonomic key (Vélez &amp; Gutiérrez, 2010) of traits—such as interocular distance of the males and females now recorded—would be helpful.</p><p>Taxonomic notes. The species belonging to the subfamily Zeroborinae are grouped into the tribes Zetoborini, Phortioecini and Triboniini (Roth 1970), according to the shape of the male genital sclerites L2vm and L2d. The genera Schistopeltis and Tribonium are grouped in Triboniini, which is defined by the following characters: L2vm with a well developed apophysis extending dorsally and L2d extending upwards and curved to this outgrowth. The subapical incision of R2 is clearly defined at about the middle of the hook.</p><p>We found that the male genitalia of the genera may be distinguished by the different shapes of the apophysis of L2vm. The base measure of L2vm apophysis of Schistopeltis spp is similar to or bigger than the measure of its extension. The apophysis base is less widened in Tribonium spp (see Roth 1970; Lopes 1978; Lopes &amp; De Oliveira Cardoso Da Silva 2010).</p><p>Rehn (1916) erected the genus Schistopeltis based on a unique external character that distinguishes it from Tribonium: the pronotal fissures. The common pattern of the male genitalia found in the species of Schistopeltis supports the taxonomic status of the genus.</p><p>Our results support Vélez &amp; Gutiérrez’s (2010) rediagnosis of Schistospeltis genus in relation to the characters: fissures shape variable (arcuate-truncated, rounded, or V shaped). Male genital phallomere L2, the wide base of apical apophysis of L2vm is similar or longer than its length. Male and female with tegmina complete reaching or surpassing apex of abdomen; wings complete in both sexes; adults and nymph with front legs type D, antero ventral margin of middle and hind femora similar, arolia present.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AB3C87DEFFE4FFA9FF24FC84FCCF7F2D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
