Pronotum. With apical lateral spine extending to Cu vein, middle spine attaining mid-point of Cu and M 3 + 4 (Fig. 20). Terminalia. Male. Pygofer with lateral plate large, subquadrate in dorsal view (Fig. 25); subgenital plates subtriangular, tips rounded (Fig. 27); style recurved with acute apex (Figs 27 - 29); aedeagus narrow throughout, gradually recurved, its sides bearing short sharp points along outer margin (Figs 26, 28, 29). Female first valvula gradually narrowed, dorsal margin smooth in basal 3 / 4 ths, weakly crenulate in distal 1 / 4 (Fig. 30); second valvula dorsally smooth throughout (Fig. 31). Color (female Figs 18 - 20, male Figs 22 - 24). Yellow orange throughout except with 2 black marks along head lateral margin and pair straddling frontoclypeus larger than pair just below eyes, and in traverse narrow band on eyes (Figs 19, 23). Pronotum surprahumeral spine apex black, 4 - 5 pale longitudinal stripes (along lateral margins and laterally) in both genders (Figs 18 - 20, 22 - 24), and in male (Fig. 22) also on medial carina, and 7 black marks posteriorly (Figs 22, 24): 1 pair straddling base of middle apical spine, 1 pair lateral behind base of each lateral spine, and one on apex of each apical spine.

Figs 18 - 24, 25 - 31
diagnosis
Diagnosis. Frontoclypeal sutures bordered by conspicuous black spots; pronotum with pair of dorsal pale longitudinal stripes dorsally and another pair more laterally, at level of suprahumeral spines; posterior portion of pronotum with 7 distinct dark marks (Figs 22, 24): 2 pairs, one pair straddling the apical middle spine and the second pair more laterally, behind the bases of apical lateral spines, and one on each of the 3 posterior spines.
distribution
Distribution. Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru.
etymology
Etymology. The specific epithet is feminine, based on the seven (septa -) black marks (- macula) on the posterior portion of the pronotum.
