Epitragopsis llanensis Marcuzzi, 1961 (Fig. 4) MARCUZZI (1961): Pubbl. Istituto di Zoológia, Universitá di Trieste, No. 2: 6, fig. 8. Examined specimen: Caucagua, Miranda (N. Venezuela). Moderately sclerotized, basale quite separated from apicale, the latter longer than the former (A:B = 1,2). Basale broad, rounded at the base, with almost parallel sides, at the apex truncate; apicale regularly lanceolate, restricted to the pointed apex. A small short interparameric scissure is present only at the tip; aedeagus well visible, very long and thin, a little widened in the first fourth, then strictly lanceolate with sharply pointed apex. In lateral view basale a little bent with dorsal convexity, apicale regularly bent dorsally, wider at the base, then gradually narrowed.The apex is pointed, the dorsal surface is furnished with a number of setae of different length, perfectly erect so that they are not visible in dorsal view (as in E. parumpunctatus ). Aedeagus straight, rather thin, the point (in the examined specimen) is masqued by the apicale. Stictoderia subseriata (Gebien, 1928) (Fig. 5) GEBIEN (1928): Stettin, ent. Ztg, 89: 101 (Stictodere) . Examined specimen: Los Roques. Very little sclerotized, light yellow, practically transparent. Apicale only partially divided from basale. Parameres almost completely fused, each of them furnished near the apex with two symmetrical setae. Length 1,4 mm. Tapinocomus relictus Marcuzzi, 1954 (Fig. 6) MARCUZZI (1954): Studies on the fauna of Curacao and other Caribbean Islands, No. 22: 4. Examined specimen: Paraguaná, Las Piedras, 1948 leg. G.MARCUZZI. Little sclerotized, transparent; very similar to the primitive forms ( Epitragus, Epitragopsis ) because of the completely fused parameres and a long well visible aedeagus. There is no apparent distinction between basale and apicale; sides rather parallel in the hind 2/3., then narrowed tow­ards the point, which is slightly rounded, furnished with some long, not quite symmetrical setae (apparently three on each side). Aedeagus very long, narrow, gradually restricted up to the apex; this is pointed. In lateral view the tegmen is straight at the base, convex ventrally.and then convex dorsally before the apex. This is gradually and regularly narrowed up the tip, which is a little rounded. On the dorsal side before the apex there is a number of setae, most short, only the ap­ical one long. These setae are not visible in dorsal vision because of their quite erect position. Aedeagus well visible, at the extremity pointed. Tapinocomus subnudus Gebien, 1928 (Fig. 7) GEBIEN (1928): Stettin, ent. Ztg, 89: 103. Examined specimen: Curacao, 1948. Very similar to T. relictus , from which it is easily distinguished because of aedeagus very narrow in all its length and not pointed at the apex, and because of the apex of the tegmen, widely rounded, almost truncate, furnished with only one seta on each side. In lateral vision aedeagus with rounded apex. The short setae on dorsal side are fewer than in T.relictus ; the apical setae (two) are very long (it is difficult to establish whether these setae are the same seen in dorsal vision due to their position). Asidini Rhypasma costicolle Marcuzzi, 1976 (Fig. 8) MARCUZZI (1976): Annls hist.-nat. Mus.natn.hung. , 68: 119. Examined specimen: Bolivia (East of Andes), Guyaramerin, N-Beni, 1966, leg. BALOGH, MAHUNKA & ZICSI. Very small (0,94 mm), transparent. Apicale long (A:B = 0,37), ovoidal though narrow re­stricted both towards base and apex, this only a little wider than apicale. This is gradually narrow­ed towards the apex, which is slightly rounded; parameres well developed; aedeagus not visible. In lateral view distinctly bent by the basal 1/3; thickness almost uniform all throughout its length;
