Type material. HOLOTYPE #f, BRAZIL, ′St. Catharina [Santa Catarina, Brazil] (C. A. Dohrn), Typus̍ ( NHRS), photographs examined ( Figure 1 (a–d)) .

Material examined. #f, BRAZIL [Santa Catarina], Joinvile, Dirings leg., Parahypatropis sinuata ( Stål, 1872) Fernandes, J.A.M. 1997 det. ( MZUSP) <illustrated female> .

Diagnosis. Labium surpassing the metacoxae. Anterolateral margins of pronotum serrated along anterior 2/3. Gonocoxites IX enlarged, semicircular. Chitinellipsen bean-shaped, half the size of each sclerotised area. Laterotergites IX (la9) spatulate. Distal ductus receptaculi long.

Redescription. Body brown, with deep, dark brown punctures. Head with 1 + 1 bands of concentrated punctuations beginning behind the ocelli and extending along the inner margins of mandibular plates. Brown legs, adjacent area to each seta dark brown. Anterior half of mesosternum and evaporatorium darker than the rest of body. Body oval, convex dorsal and ventrally ( Figures 1 (a ‒ b), 2(a ‒ c)). Proportions of antennomeres I> II <III> IV> V. Labium surpassing metacoxae; proportions of labial segments I <II> III> IV ( Figure 2 (b)). Anterolateral margins of pronotum serrated along anterior 2/3 ( Figure 2 (a)). Hemelytral membrane reaching body apex. Connexivum exposed ( Figure 2 (a)). Measurements in Table 1 .

Female genitalia. Gonocoxites VIII (gc8) convex, at least twice as long as laterotergites IX, partially covering gonocoxites IX; posterior margin sinuous. Laterotergites VIII (la8) with posterior margin obtusely projected ( Figures 1 (c), 3(a ‒ b)). Gonocoxites IX (gc9) swollen, enlarged, semicircular, with anterior margin convex and posterior margin straight ( Figure 3 (c ‒ d)). Gonapophyses IX (g9) with 1 + 1 lateral sclerotised areas placed along with chitinellipsen. Chitinellipsen (ch) bean-shaped, half the size of each sclerotised area. Laterotergites IX (la9) spatulate, obtusely projected apically. Ectodermal ductus ( Figure 3 (e ‒ f)): anterior part of thickening of vaginal intima (tvi) as long as posterior portion of tvi. Median wall of vesicular area enlarged sub-proximally. Proximal ductus receptaculi (pdr) straight, shorter than the length of vesicular area; diameter of distal ductus receptaculi equal to the diameter of median wall of vesicular area. Vesicular area (va) long, occupying more than half the length of ductus receptaculi. Annular flanges divergent; anterior annular flange (aaf) developed; posterior annular flange (paf) thinner than capsula seminalis. Pars intermedialis (pi) enlarged. Capsula seminalis (cs) globose and larger than pars intermedialis.

Male. Unknown.

Distribution. Originally described from Santa Catarina [Brazil] without exact locality ( Stål 1872). South America: Brazil (Santa Catarina) ( Figure 1).

Remarks. Proximal ductus receptaculi (pdr) not preserved after dissection. The male specimens cited by Grazia and Fernandes (1996) for the description of the male genitalia correspond to P. occultata sp. nov. here described.
