038D87A5B93E9E3D2491FF4DD6DE6218.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: The genus can be distinguished by its larger size (5.0 to 7.4 mm), short head, transition of crown to face angled, anterior margin of head with numerous transverse carinae, male pygofer and subgenital plate without macrosetae, male pygofer with a pair of internal processes arising dorsally, subgenital plates rising dorsad along pygofer side and with internal margin excavated medially, and unique shape of styles, with long anterior arm. Notes: Oman (1938) treated the genus as a member of the subfamily Aphrodinae, and regarded it as related to Stroggylocephalus Flor, 1861, a genus recorded from the Old World. Evans (1947) placed the genus in the tribe Selenocephalini, which belonged to the subfamily Iassinae at the time. Linnavuori (1959) correctly included Brincadorus in Deltocephalinae, due to the male genital structure. Zahniser & Dietrich (2013) included the genus in Bahitini, but it is here considered unplaced to tribe (see Discussion).	en	Camisão, Beatriz M., Zahniser, James N., Takiya, Daniela M.

Coloration: Body tan dorsally, and yellow ventrally (Figs. 1 A – C). Crown, pronotum, and mesonotum with muscle impressions slightly darker. Forewing translucent, dark yellow, without maculae or spots (Fig. 1 A), costal margin dark brown. External morphology: Coronal suture attaining midlength of crown; anterior margin with numerous transverse carinae (Fig. 1 B). Clypellar suture slightly arcuate. Clypellus slightly constricted at base and narrowing towards apex (Fig. 1 B). Forewing without extra crossveins on costal margin (Fig. 1 A). Profemur intercalary row with 12 to 14 setae; row AV with 4 to 7 short, stout macrosetae. Protibia rows AD + PD with 1 + 4 macrosetae. Other characters as in the generic description. Male genitalia: Pygofer with dorsal process short, bifurcate, curved posteroventrally (Fig. 1 D). Subgenital plate apex acuminate, extending beyond apex of pygofer in lateral view (Fig. 1 C – E). Connective arms closely appressed in dorsal view (Fig. 1 F). Style apophysis apex rounded in lateral view, acuminate in ventral view, smooth, somewhat straight, extending beyond midlength of subgenital plates in dorsal view, extending beyond connective stem in ventral view (Figs. 1 F – G). Aedeagus without processes; shaft long, slender, curved dorsally in lateral view; apex acuminate in lateral and dorsal view; gonopore preapical, opening ventrally (Fig. 1 F – H). Female terminalia: Female unknown. Notes: Brincadorus laticeps Oman, 1938 can be distinguished from the other species of the genus by the aedeagus long, slender, without basidorsal or preapical processes. The male holotype of B. laticeps was not previously dissected. To clarify the identity of B. laticeps, we dissected the specimen. It agrees with all diagnostic genitalia characters with the paratype from Chapada, which is illustrated here. Oman (1938) listed two paratypes, one from the type-locality of Chapada, Brazil, which was studied and illustrated in the present work, and another from Rurrenabaque, Bolivia. Linnavuori (1959) redescribed the species and provided illustrations of the male genitalia based on a paratype. However, Linnavuori did not state which paratype he examined. After close examination of his drawings and redescription and comparison to the holotype and Chapada paratype, it was clear that the specimen he studied is not B. laticeps and is instead the newly described species B. cruceno. We concluded that Linnavuori (1959) illustrated the misidentified Bolivian paratype, and we list the Rurrenabaque locality for B. cruceno. The Bolivian paratype was stated to be deposited at USNM (Oman, 1938), but after a thorough search of the collection, it was not found. The labels of the holotype and paratype state only the word “ Chapada ” for the collecting locality. In Brazil, there are many places called Chapada, since it is the Portuguese word for a plateau, a geological formation that occurs in several States throughout the country. Zanol & Menezes (1982) interpreted it as being the Parque Nacional Chapada dos Guimarães, in Mato Grosso State, a very important National Park in central Brazil, characterized by a vast Cerrado vegetation. The specimen labels say “ Collection CF Baker ”, which again leaves an ambiguity since a great part of the Charles F. Baker collection was actually collected by Herbert H. Smith. We do know that H. H. Smith collected extensively at Chapada dos Guimarães, and that he was a close associate of Baker, who also collected in Brazil. There is an extensive number of specimens listed by Linnavuori (1959), for example, from “ Chapada ” that were collected by H. H. Smith. In one of his papers, Baker (1898) lists specimens of Neocoelidia rubrolineata Baker, 1898 collected by H. H. Smith at Chapada and Corumbá, which is a city located at the time at Mato Grosso State (now it is part of Mato Grosso do Sul State, which was created after 1977). Many of Smith’s specimens at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (Pittsburgh, PA), where he was employed for some time, are labeled similarly to the “ C. F. Baker Collection ” specimens at USNM examined here, with the locality indicated only by “ Chapada ” and with an abbreviated month for the date of collection. After consulting other entomologists on the matter and reading the obituaries of Smith (Holland, 1919; Clapp, 1920) and Baker (Essig, 1927), we concluded that Zanol & Menezes (1982) identification of the locality as Chapada dos Guimarães is probably correct, and therefore maintain the type-locality of B. laticeps as Chapada dos Guimarães in Mato Grosso State. Zanol & Menezes (1982) recorded B. laticeps from São Paulo State in Brazil, based on specimens collected and examined by them. However, since the only illustration of the genitalia available at that time was the misidentified specimen from Linnavuori’s work, it is possible that these authors misidentified their studied specimens, that may actually belong to B. cruceno. Until those specimens can be located or further collecting trips can be made, the species recorded by Zanol & Menezes from São Paulo locality should be considered uncertain. Consequently, B. laticeps is currently known only from its type-locality of Chapada, Brazil.	en	Camisão, Beatriz M., Zahniser, James N., Takiya, Daniela M.

038D87A5B9309E332491FB71D7E267A5.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The epithet of the new species refers to the type-locality of the holotype, Yanayacu, Ecuador. The epithet is in apposition to the generic name. Notes: Brincadorus yanayacu sp. nov. resembles B. laticeps and B. cruceno sp. nov., as they all lack basidorsal processes on the aedeagus. However, the new species can be distinguished by the relatively long connective, which is sinuate in lateral view, the thorn-like tips of subgenital plates, and short aedeagus, slightly expanded at midlength, and becoming narrower towards apex in lateral view (Figs. 7 E – G).

038D87A5B9339E2E2491FC2CD3B065F4.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The new genus is named after the Spanish word for jumper, saltador. The name of the new genus is a masculine noun.	en	Camisão, Beatriz M., Zahniser, James N., Takiya, Daniela M.

038D87A5B9339E2E2491FC2CD3B065F4.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: The new genus can be distinguished by the short head; angled transition of crown to face with numerous transverse carinae; male pygofer with pair of lateral inner processes arising dorsally and extending beyond pygofer apex, incised dorsally at base; segment X of anal tube very long, sclerotized laterally and with ventral extensions at apex; and the unique shape of subgenital plates and aedeagus. Notes: The new genus is similar to Brincadorus sp., as they both have short heads, with the frontal region of the crown angled and anterior margin with numerous transverse carinae, and the subgenital plates widely separated with median margins excavated and without macrosetae along the lateral margin. However, the new genus can be distinguished by the presence of a very long inner process on the pygofer arising dorsally near the base, extending ventroapically, and surpassing the pygofer apex (as opposed to the shorter dorsal processes in Brincadorus which arise medially and are bifurcate apically), the subgenital plates not extending dorsally along the pygofer sides (as in Brincadorus), the unique shape of the aedeagus with the sclerotized gonoduct extended out of the atrium. The new genus also resembles Caruya, as they share the elongated male pygofer with lateral processes and the aedeagus without apical processes. However, the new genus can be distinguished by the pygofer with internal processes instead of external, and the subgenital plate widely separated and elongated, as opposed to rounded and lobate in Caruya.	en	Camisão, Beatriz M., Zahniser, James N., Takiya, Daniela M.
