Parableta (Parableta)? boliviana Bruner, 1915 View in CoL

( Figs 285–288 View Figs 276–289 , 304–310 View Figs 290–310 )

Material studied. BOLIVIA: 3 males, Santa Cruz Prov., 23 km SW of Santa Cruz City, El Sol Natural Park (small private park), ~ 600 m, primary/secondary forest, on leaves of bushes at night, 14–16 February 2014, A. Gorochov ; 1 female, same province, ~ 70 km NWW of Santa Cruz City, Amboro National Park, Mataracu Camp , ~ 800 m, primary forest, on leaf of bush at night, 8–13 February 2014, A. Gorochov ; 1 female, same province and park, “Refugio Los Volcanes”, ~ 1000 m, on leaf of tree at night, 16–17 February 2014, A. Gorochov.

Notes. This species was described from the Santa Cruz Province of Bolivia. The above-listed specimens are very similar to P. boliviana syntypes in the general appearance, shape of stridulatory vein (in the male left tegmen) and structure of ovipositor (lacking denticles along all its edges; see photographs in OSF). But structure of male copulatory device in P. boliviana is poorly described; therefore the belonging of the specimens studied here to this species is problematic. It is useful to note also that the general appearance of these specimens is similar to that of the previous congeners ( P. cercata sp. nov. and P. nikolaii sp. nov.); however, all the males are without darkened spots on the lateral tegminal field ( Fig. 285 View Figs 276–289 ), all the females are with two rather small darkened spots along the lateral (anterior) branch of MP +CuA1 ( Fig. 286 View Figs 276–289 ), upper rostral tubercle is similar to that of P. cercata sp. nov. but with apical part almost not widened, stridulatory vein in the male left tegmen is narrower than in P. cercata sp. nov. and shorter than in P. nikolaii sp. nov. (for comparison see Figs 279, 283, 287 View Figs 276–289 ), male cercus is with the proximal and distal portions almost as in P. nikolaii sp. nov. in length (the latter portion is more straight, cylindrical but not flattened and not dorsally concave, and with the apical hook directed more backwards than medially; Figs 304–309 View Figs 290–310 ), male genitalia are almost as in P. cercata sp. nov. but with the membranous posterior lobes somewhat shorter ( Fig. 310 View Figs 290–310 ), and female genital plate and ovipositor as in Figs 315, 316 View Figs 311–330 .
