Diagnosis.

One of the easiest species to identify in the group sclerolobii is Amblycerus manauara . It has the most conspicuous character in the male genitalia, the two pairs of sclerites at the AR in the male genitalia (Fig. 9 F View Figure 9 ) which separates this species from the others that have one pair ( A. kingsolveri , A. marinonii , A. sclerolobii , A. tachigaliae ; Figs 7 G View Figure 7 , 8 F View Figure 8 , 6 H View Figure 6 , 10 G View Figure 10 ) or just a single sclerite ( A. truncatus Ribeiro-Costa , sp. nov., A. falcorostrus Ribeiro-Costa & Morse , sp. nov., A. biacutus Ribeiro-Costa , sp. nov. and A. morsei Ribeiro-Costa , sp. nov.; Figs 2 A View Figure 2 , 3 F View Figure 3 , 4 F View Figure 4 , 5 G View Figure 5 ).
