Williams and Bell (1940) described Pholisora corumba. Evans (1953) treated this taxon as a subspecies of Staphylus lizeri. Lamas (1994) reinstated the specific status of Staphylus corumba, being followed by most subsequent authors that mentioned this species in taxonomic comments, faunistic studies and catalogues. Type. Pholisora corumba Williams & Bell, 1940 was described based on the male holotype from Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, deposited in ANSP, currently in CMNH, with the following labels: / Type 7183 CORUMBA Will-Bell / Pholisora corumba Williams + Bell Holotype ♂ / Corumbá / March / Genitalia slide No. 1226 / 2457 /. Diagnosis. Staphylus (C.) corumba (Fig. 2 O – R) is most similar to Staphylus (C.) lizeri lizeri (Fig. 2 U – X) but can be differentiated due to the absence of white dots in M 3 - CuA 1 and in CuA 1 - CuA 2, combined with the ampulla with a very produced dentate area on the internal-ventral margin, with “ teeth ” of different sizes (Fig. 5 B), while in S. (C.) lizeri lizeri, the produced area is not so developed, and the “ teeth ” are all about same size (Fig. 5 J). The female genitalia differ from other species due to the lamella antevaginalis with a central transverse darker carina (Fig. 10 C). Male description. Fig. 2 O, P. Head: Brown with some yellow scales dorsally; yellow and white ventrally. FW length: 1.0– 1.2 cm. HW length: 0.8–0.9 cm. DFW: Dark brown. Two or three white dots can be present or absent in the subapical area. Fringe brown. VFW: Same white markings as on DFW. VHW: Lighter brown. Genitalia (Fig. 5 A – D): Uncus longer than wide, with the same width along the entire length, except at the tapered apex, curving ventrally, dorsally bearing a tuft of short hair-like scales at base. Fenestra developed. Valva: sacculus scalene triangular-shaped, bearing thin and socketed spines internally; harpe rounded at distal margin, exceeding ampulla, bearing thin and short setae at distal margin; ampulla broad, rounded at distal margin, not exceeding harpe, bearing a dense set of medium-sized, stout and socketed spines, concave at proximal margin, with a very produced dentate area on the internal-ventral margin, with “ teeth ” of different sizes. Aedeagus shorter than valva, without denticles. Fultura superior bearing two dense clusters of small, stout spines laterally. Female description. Fig. 2 Q, R. The females differ from the males in the following characters: FW length: 1.2–1.4 cm. HW length: 0.9–1.0 cm. Genitalia (Fig. 10 C): The lamella postvaginalis as a plate is very excavated at the center of distal margin, bearing microtrichia. Membranous or at least less sclerotized area linking the lamellae postvaginalis and antevaginalis. Lamella antevaginalis as a plate with a central transverse darker carina; the proximal margin not fused with the ostium. Distribution. Fig. 12. Brazil: Bahia (Evans 1953), Mato Grosso do Sul (Williams and Bell 1940) and Pará; Peru: Cusco (Lamas 2003), Loreto (Lamas et al. [1997]) and Madre de Dios (Lamas 1994). Temporal distribution. Staphylus (C.) corumba is recorded throughout the year, except September and October. Etymology. Although not mentioned in the description, the epithet of Staphylus corumba is clearly in reference to the type locality, Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Remarks. Before this study, there was no illustration of the female genitalia of Staphylus (C.) corumba in the literature. Examined material. BRAZIL: Pará – Santo Antônio do Tauá, Reserva Sonho Azul, 2.
