It is similar to Dissomphalus jurupari sp. nov., by having the median clypeal lobe tridentate, the paramere very wide, especially basally, higher than the basiparamere, and the basal process absent. However, D. acutipupu sp. nov., has the mandible tridentate and the posterior hypopygeal margin weakly concave, whereas D. jurupari sp. nov. has the mandible bidentate and the posterior hypopygeal margin straight.	en	Colombo, Wesley D., Alencar, Isabel D.

03D487B8C469CD54FF22F9541484FB61.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species belongs to the punctatus species-group by having the tergal process with its tufts of setae weakly directed backward and the tubercles absent. It is important to note, however, that the tergal process is not the standard found in punctatus species-group. Nevertheless, it fits into the definition of the group, even with fewer bristles. This species is not similar to any other species of its species-group, differing mainly by having the tergal process with few bristles, the aedeagal ventral ramus with the apex very narrow, and the aedeagal dorsal body with the outer lobe very long.	en	Colombo, Wesley D., Alencar, Isabel D.

It is important to note that the tergal process is not the standard found in punctatus species-group. However, it fits into the definition of the group, even with few bristles.
