This species keys to Curran’s couplet 7, differing from 
the alternatives in the female by having the apical seg- 
ment of the ovipositor black haired proximally and apically, 
and white haired on about the middle third. In the male, 
this species differs from the alternatives at couplet 7, by 
having the basal three-fifths of the posterior tibia entirely 
black. 
Named after H. de Souza Lopes in recognition of his 
fine work on this genus.
