Abstract

Cis caramelo sp. nov. is described based on specimens collected in the North, Northeast, and Southeast Regions of Brazil. It stands out for being more similar to the species of Cis Latreille from Africa than South America. Cis caramelo sp. nov. fits into the Cis neserorum species-group, being morphologically similar to Cis aster Souza-Gonçalves & Lopes-Andrade, but differing in the presence of a sex patch on the first abdominal ventrite of males and in the morphology of the aedeagus, with a wide tegmen lacking acute tips on the sides and a penis wide and sclerotized at its basal portion, abruptly narrowed and membranous apically. Brief descriptions and images of immatures of C. caramelo sp. nov. are also provided.
