Abstract

. Soosiulus belterrensis sp. nov. is described and illustrated from the Amazon Forest of the state of Pará, northern Brazil. Both the male and female terminalia are treated in detail, in addition to color features. With the addition of this new taxon, the diverse Neotropical genus Soosiulus Young, 1977 now comprises 28 species. The new species is the first one proposed for Soosiulus after the original generic description. It appears to be included in a complex with eleven other Soosiulus species, all of them sharing a very similar color pattern. Among the members of this putative complex, the aedeagus of S. belterrensis sp. nov. is most similar to those of S. hastatus Young, 1977 and S. ruber Young, 1977, due to the presence of a pair of conspicuous dorsoapical processes. However, in S. hastatus and S. ruber the aedeagus has also a retrorse ventroapical process originated from a lobe; both process and lobe are not present in the new species. In addition, the female sternite VII in S. hastatus and S. ruber is convex posteriorly, whereas it has a distinct median emargination in the new species.

文章标题巴西亚马逊森林小蝉属一新种(昆虫亚目:半翅目:蝉科:蝉属)，附一个假定的物种复合体的注释

．在巴西北部帕尔州的亚马逊森林中，对belterrensis sp. 11 .进行了描述和图解。除了颜色特征外，还对雄性和雌性终末进行了详细的处理。随着这一新分类群的加入，新热带属(1977)现有28种。该新种是继原属描述后首次提出的苏氏属新种。它似乎和其他11个苏氏物种属于一个复合体，它们都有非常相似的颜色图案。在这个假定的复合体的成员中，S. belterrensis sp. 11 .的aedeagus与S. hastatus Young(1977)和S. ruber Young(1977)的aedeagus最相似，因为存在一对明显的背凸突。然而，在海棠和海棠中，叶尖也有一个起源于叶的逆行腹壁突;在新种中，突起和裂片都不存在。另外，在新种中雌胸骨VII具有明显的中间边缘，而在hastatus和s.r uber中雌胸骨VII后凸。
