Description

Oecetis rafaeli, Flint

Fig. 13

Oecetis rafaeli Flint, 1991b: 74 (male, original description).

Oecetis rafaeli Flint was described from Brazil. This species bears long posterolateral processes in the segment IX. There are small differences in the dorsal view between the original description of the species and the collected material from Bolivia. In the original description of O. rafaeli, the lateral processes of segment IX are straighter than in the collected material. Comparing a paratype with the collected material, these differences are not visible. For this reason, O. rafaeli, is recorded for the first time for Bolivia.

Material examined. BOLIVIA: Lake Colorada, near Trinidad, 14°48'21''S, 64°58'41''W, 16.xi.2002, (IML) ― 2 males.

Paratype: BRASIL: Am Am, 0 10, km 246, W Itacoatiara, 12–15.vii.1979, J. Arias et al. cols., (NMNH) ― 1 male.

Distribution. Bolivia, Brazil.
