03B84F22080AFFF260B5F956FB486F75.taxon	discussion	Comments. The dorsal habitus of E. colombiana sp. nov. and E. scutomaculata are similar by the presence of an ivory spot on the disk of scutellum. Both species can be distinguished from each other by the coloration of the antennae, by the vestiture of the anterior and lateral margins of pronotum, and presence or absence of a black spot on abdominal sternite VII medially. The female genitalia of E. colombiana sp. nov. and E. diamphidiosa Grazia, Barros & Barão, 2016 are alike, but in the former la 8 lack spiracles, posterolateral angles of la 8 acute, gc 9 swollen, and capsula seminalis globose, bearing two projections, and shorter than pars intermedialis.	en	Barros, Lurdiana Dayse De, Barão, Kim Ribeiro, Grazia, Jocelia (2020): New species and new distributional records of Elanela Rolston, 1980 (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae).

03B84F220808FFF460B5FA52FDC36C6F.taxon	discussion	Comments. Elanela ecuatoriana sp. nov. and E. nigrofemorata are similar, but the legs of E. ecuatoriana are black-spotted whereas in E. nigrofemorata only the distal-half of each femur is spotted in black. Moreover, the identification of each species is unambiguous by the male genitalia. The female genitalia of E. ecuatoriana is similar to the female genitalia of E. scutomaculata, but in the former, the gonocoxites VIII are wider than long and not juxtaposed basally, the gonocoxites IX are swollen, and a spiracle is present on each laterotergite VIII.	en	Barros, Lurdiana Dayse De, Barão, Kim Ribeiro, Grazia, Jocelia (2020): New species and new distributional records of Elanela Rolston, 1980 (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae).
