T. lenkoi, T. racenisi and T. pareci are unique among the genus in possessing wing stalked well before level of CuP (as in RG Fig. 11 c) and, in male, an apically notched cercus when viewed laterally (Figs. 15, 18, 20). Penis (Fig. 8) as for T. racenisi (Fig. 12). Male keys to couplet 2. of Key M- 4 of Garrison (2009) and is modified to accomodate this species and its similar congener, T. pareci, as follows: 2.

Apical portion of S 9 all of S 10 about 2 x as wide as remainder of abdomen (Figs. 31, 32), labrum orange or light orange, rear of head mostly pale with an isolated large black spot lateral to occipital foramen (similar to RG Fig. 1 e); Mato Grosso State, Brazil ............................................................................................................................................. 3 3.

Cercus in lateral view with the ventral margin linear, no ventro-basal tooth, ventral branch of apex directed posteriorly (Fig. 15); Mato Grosso State, Brazil ......................................................................................................... T. lenkoi Female of T. lenko i will key to T. racenisi in Key F- 5 of Garrison but differs by labral coloration (orange in T. lenkoi, blue in T. racenisi) and coloration of rear of head (mostly pale with an isolated large black spot lateral to occipital foramen, similar to RG Fig. 1 e, in T. lenkoi, mostly black at least on upper half, as in RG Fig. 1 f, in T. lenkoi). Garrison (2009: 91) recorded Telebasis racenisi from Goiás and Mato Grosso States, Brazil and mapped both based on Lencioni (2006: 215) and personal communication. In order to make Garrison's paper more complete, Lencioni provided the following data for these specimens: Goiás State: Fazenda Olho D'agua, outside of Parque Nacional de Emas, 17 50 ' S, 52 ˚ 39 ' W, 14 - x- 1982, leg. N. D. Santos, 5 ♀♀; Mato Grosso State: Rio São Lorenço, São Vicente, 15 49 ' S, 55 ˚ 24 ' W, 22 - vii- 1983, leg. L. F. Reys, 3 ♂. Garrison had not seen these specimens which were probably identified from material in the MNRJ. In light of the occurrence of two new species of this group from Mato Grosso State coupled with my examination of bona fide T. racenisi from Mato Grosso State, Diamantino 14 º 25´S, 56 º 27´W, Garrison's records of T. racenisi should be reexamined as they might represent either T. lenkoi or T. parecei.	en	Angelo B.

8E4D87856B3BFF93FF41FADBFE2994E8.taxon	discussion	Remarks: T. pataxo keys to couplet 7 of Key M 6 (Garrison, 2009) that includes T. bickorum and T. erythrina. It differs from T. erythrina by having the cercus in medio-dorsal view with a robust conical tooth (Fig. 28; this replaced by a vertical tooth in T. erythrina, RG Fig. 17 h) and by the paraproct in lateral view truncate (Fig. 19; acuminate in T. erythrina, RG Fig. 21 f). From T. bickorum it differs by the absence of an humeral black stripe present in T. bickorum (RG Fig. 4 e), by the hind prothoracic lobe with a median concavity delimitating two lateral prominences, (evenly rounded in T. bickorum) and by the cercus that is truncate, and bent postero-ventrally in T. pataxo (Fig. 19; cercus roundly pointed and directed posteriorly in T. bickorum, RG Fig. 20 h). The cercus in medio-dorsal view is more slender in T. bickorum (RG Fig. 16 g) than in T. pataxo (Fig. 28).	en	Angelo B. M.
