Discussion
Remarks. G. julianae belongs to Gonatopus sensu stricto (orbitalis group). The new species can be included in the key to the females of the Neotropical Gonatopus sensu stricto (Olmi, 1990) by replacing couplet 41 as follows: 41 Head without sculpture.......................................................................................... 41 ’ Head granulated.................................................................................................. 41 ’’ 41 ’ Scutum and metanotum without lateral points................................santiaganus Olmi Scutum with two lateral points; metanotum with two lateral pointed protrusions...... ............................................................................................................ campbelli Olmi 41 ’’ Scutum with two lateral points; enlarged claw sickle shaped, with a small subapical tooth situated very far from the distal apex (Fig. 1).......................... julianae sp. nov. Scutum without lateral points; enlarged claw not sickle shaped, with a small subapi cal tooth situated nearer the distal apex (Figs 1227, 1233 in Olmi, 1984; fig. 82 in Olmi, 1987)............................................................................................................. 42 42 Metanotum inclined (Fig. 1226 B in Olmi, 1984).......................... autumnalis Olmi Metanotum horizontal (Fig. 1226 A in Olmi, 1984)............................................... 43 43 Species with anterior surface of metathorax + propodeum more inclined (Fig. 83 in Olmi, 1987); labial palpi 2–3 segmented........................................... tuxtlanus Olmi Species with anterior surface of metathorax + propodeum less inclined (Fig. 1226A in Olmi, 1984); labial palpi 2 segmented......................................... silvestrii Kieffer
