3.4. 9.Mahanarva(Ipiranga)bahiaensisCarvalho & Webb, 2004 Figure 6 F Mahanarva (Ipiranga) bahiaensis Carvalho and Webb, 2004: 384 Diagnosis. Tegmina brownish with two transverse bands yellowish; subgenital plate elongated, paramere with a triangular subapical spine and acutely rounded apex. Remarks. The male holotype was colected in Camacã, Bahia, Brazil and is currently deposited on British Museum of Natural History (BMNH). In this study, we examined three specimens from Bahia and the pattern of tegmina and male genitalia are very similar to M. (I.) rubicunda suggesting that M. (I.) bahiaensis can be a synonym of M. (I.) rubicunda. Since we didn’t have access to the holotype in person and more sampling from Bahia, specifically in the type locality, we chose to not synonymize both species. The diagnosis provided here was based on original description made by Carvalho and Webb (2004). Material examined. BRASIL, Bahia: Encruzilhada, xi.1972, Alvarenga & Seabra leg., 1 ♂, 2 ♀ (MCTP).
