Ocular commissure 1 / 2 of eye width. Ventral surface of third labial article pubescent. Scutellum with hyaline apex. Fore femur with a short spiniform seta. Ventral surface of middle trochanter with a patch of thin setae. Hemelytra of brachypterous specimens with medial longitudinal hyaline stripe narrow, slightly tapering from base of hemelytra up to membrane suture; hemelytral process stripe short, 20–30 % of hemelytral length; hemelytral process slightly shorter than membrane length (Fig. 9 B). Taxonomic notes. Martarega brasiliensis is slightly larger than M. nessimiani Barbosa & Rodrigues, 2013, a species with which it shares some similarities. Martarega brasiliensis has some distinctive features, like the pubescent labial surface and differences in the width of the hyaline band of the hemelytra. Distribution.
