The specific epithet depressa (Latin, feminine) refers to the depressed central portion of the female mesonotum in this species.

Rhagovelia depressa Rodrigues, Khila & Moreira, sp. nov. belongs to the angustipes complex based on the pronotum of the apterous form shorter than the dorsal length of the eye, with the posterior margin concave. It displays three articles on each tarsus (although tarsomere I is extremely reduced in the middle leg, especially in the male), so it cannot be part of the salina group. Assigning it to either the bisignata or hambletoni group, however, is not possible due to the absence of macropterous forms (D. Polhemus 1997). The males of this new species are much smaller than the females and displayed piggyback behavior in the field, like that observed in other congeners with the same type of sexual dimorphism for body size (e.g., Moreira et al. 2010: fig. 5H).

Running this species through the keys for the angustipes complex provided by Bacon (1956), Nieser and D. Polhemus (1999) and Galindo-Malagón et al. (2021) ended in no possible logical results. The few species of the complex that are absent in these keys due to subsequent description or different geographic distribution also do not match the specimens at hand. Rhagovelia depressa can be diagnosed by the combination of the following features: 1) body length 2.03–2.10 in the male and 2.70–2.82 in the female; 2) antennomere II longer than III; 3) female mesonotum with a large rounded central depression (Fig. 8A); 4) fore and hind coxae and trochanters yellow, middle coxa and trochanter black (Figs 6B, 8B); 5) male fore and hind trochanters without spines (Fig. 6B, E); 6) male fore femur thickened, with strong setae on posterior surface (Fig. 6B, C); 7) male fore tibia curved, with distinct grasping comb (Fig. 6B, C); 8) male hind femur thicker than middle femur, with a decreasing row of three or four spines starting after middle of posterior surface (Fig. 6B, E); 9) female fore and hind femora thinner than in males, without spines (Fig. 8B); 10) male hind tibia slightly narrowed and curved distally, without pegs throughout length, with strong apical spur (Fig. 6E); 11) female hind tibia straight, with apical spur weaker than in male (Fig. 8A); 12) female abdomen narrowed, with laterotergites reflexed over mediotergites, progressively covering them more from I–VII, then opening throughout tergum VIII (Fig. 8A); and 13) shape of the paramere (Fig. 7E).

We noticed a fair amount of variation in hind femoral size among the males above. In addition, specimens with larger femora displayed the typical pilose anterior surface of the segment, whereas those with smaller femora showed less developed pilosity. Furthermore, a few of them showed considerably lighter colour than the rest of the series and of the holotype of the species, being yellow/brown instead of brown/black. However, the dense cover of pilose setae on the antennae, sides of the body and over the legs was consistent with the species concept, as well as the spination of the hind trochanter, femur and tibia, and the shape of the paramere.

The specific epithet tantilloides refers to the resemblance between this new species and R. tantilla Drake & Harris, 1933.

Rhagovelia tantilloides Rodrigues, Khila & Moreira, sp. nov. is part of the angustipes complex of species, based on the pronotum of the apterous form shorter than the dorsal eye length, with the posterior margin slightly concave. The tarsal formula 3-3-3 indicates that it is not part of the salina group, but an assignment to either the bisignata or hambletoni group is not possible due to the absence of macropterous individuals (D. Polhemus 1997). This new species displays an elongated abdomen and a relatively short and thick hind femora in both males and females. Running it through Nieser and D. Polhemus (1999) key to species of the angustipes complex from southeastern and southern Brazil ends in no possible logical results. Using the keys provided by Bacon (1956) and Galindo-Malagón et al. (2021), however, results in R. tantilla, which is indeed similar to the specimens at hand.

This new species and R. tantilla share the following features: 1) similar body size (2.80–2.90 in the male, 3.00–3.15 in the female); 2) antennomere II shorter than III; 3) fore and hind coxae and trochanters yellow, middle coxa and trochanter dark (Figs 12B, 14B); 4) male fore and hind trochanters without spines (Fig. 12B); 5) male fore tibia not distinctly curved (Fig. 12B); 6) male hind tibia without pegs throughout length nor apical spur (Fig. 12B); 7) abdomen relatively elongated, with laterotergites slightly elevated and lateral margins tapering more or less evenly to apex (Fig. 12A); and 8) male abdominal segment VIII subcylindrical, with lateral margins bowed, shorter dorsally than mediotergite VII (Fig. 12A, 13A).

There are, however, essential differences between them, including: 1) male hind femur surpassing terminalia, thickest at middle, with 6–7 spines on the posterior surface (vs. not reaching terminalia, thickest after middle, with 2–4 spines in the new species; Fig. 12B); 2) male hind tibia straight (vs. slightly curved distally in the new species; Fig. 12B); and 3) shape of the paramere (compare Fig. 13E and Galindo-Malagón et al. 2021: fig. 19T). The distribution of shining black areas on the abdominal dorsum of R. tantilla is variable. For males, Bacon (1956) reported them on segments VIII or VII–VIII, while Galindo-Malagón et al. (2021) mentioned VII–VIII and figured a specimen with an additional smaller mark on VI. Females, in turn, reportedly have shining black areas on segments VII–VIII to V–VIII, according to both studies above. In the new species, we found shining black areas occupying most of male abdominal mediotergite VII and tergum VIII, whereas for females there are two narrow marks centrally on V–VI and two larger marks on VII–VIII. Finally, while our new species occurs in French Guiana, R. tantilla has a much more western distribution, from Belize (Drake and Harris 1933), through Central America (Bacon 1956; Moreira et al. 2015) and the Colombian Andes (Galindo-Malagón et al. 2021), to northwestern Peru (Bacon 1956).

Most of the specimens above display an approximately V-shaped whitish pruinose area on the posterior lobe of the pronotum, which is not expected for this species (Floriano and Rodrigues 2016). This could lead to a confusion with O. rivicola Spangler, 1986, but the male parameres examined are not distinctly widened near the apex, and agree with those drawn by Spangler (1986) and Floriano and Rodrigues (2016) for O. cunucunumana.

The specific epithet vittata (Latin, feminine) refers to the wide yellow stripe along the dorsum of this new species.

Steinovelia vittata Rodrigues, Khila & Moreira, sp. nov. diverges from the redescription of the genus provided in its latest revision (Moreira et al. 2020) in the following features: 1) sides of body with many silvery setae, sometimes forming longitudinal rows (vs. patches or stripes of silvery setae completely absent from the new species; Fig. 19C); and 2) paramere elongate and narrow, slightly tapering to apex (vs. dolphin-shaped, with a dorsal projection, abruptly narrowed near apex; Fig. 20C, G). The silvery setae are replaced in S. vittata by the more widespread golden setae and, on the sides of the body, by a yellow stripe above the acetabula, and a light brown stripe laterally on the abdominal sterna below the wings (Fig. 19). Additionally, the transverse glabrous areas on the anterior margins of abdominal sterna III–VII mentioned by Moreira et al. (2020) for Steinovelia are in fact adjacent to (not on) the anterior margins of sterna IV–VII (not III–VII) (check fig. 2D in the same article). These are represented in the new species by small regions of differently textured cuticle in the corresponding areas, but that are not completely devoid of short setae (Fig. 19B). The presence of short setae in these areas in the other species of Steinovelia needs to be verified, perhaps using scanning electron microscopy, for a proper assessment of this character.

Despite of the differences discussed above, this new species fits better in Steinovelia than in any other described genus of Neotropical Veliinae, and it seems unreasonable to describe an entire new genus just to allocate it, in face of the many similarities shared with its proposed congeners. Among the features reported in the latest redescription of Steinovelia, we can cite: 1) general body shape elongated, widest across humeri (Fig. 19A); 2) ocular setae absent (Fig. 19A, C); 3) black denticles absent from jugum and adjacent portion of proespisternum (Fig. 19D); 4) humeral angles forming projections (Fig. 19C); 5) posterior angle of pronotum broadly rounded (Fig. 19A); 6) forewings without basal maculae, but with distinct color pattern (Fig. 19A); 7) mesoacetabula not prolonged into tubercles, without large, deep puncture on mesal surface (Fig. 19B, D); 8) intersegmental region between the meso- and metasterna without two pairs of small tubercles medially (Fig. 19D); 9) metasternum with a pair of small tubercles laterally (underdeveloped in some cases, such as in the new species) and almost straight posterior margin (Fig. 19D); 10) femora and tibiae annulated in brown and yellow (Fig. 19A–C); 11) black conical setae / spinules / pegs present on posterior surfaces of femora and tibiae (Fig. 19C); 12) abdominal mediotergites II and III each with a prominent pair of submedian longitudinal carinae; and 13) abdominal sternum VII without expansions or projections (Fig. 19E, F).

Heretofore, Steinovelia included four valid species: S. permista (Drake, 1951); S. stagnalis (Burmeister, 1835); S. vinnula (Drake, 1951); and S. virgata (White, 1879). Steinovelia vittata can be immediately distinguished from the others by the wide yellow median stripe dorsally along the body (Fig. 19A), and by the absence of silvery patches or stripes (Fig. 19A–C). Its congeners bear patches and/or stripes of silvery setae and, when macropterous, show a much more diffuse pattern of light and dark areas on the pronotum and forewings. Additional diagnostic features of this new species include the posterior margin of the eye distant from the pronotum by ~ 22% of the dorsal eye length (Fig. 19A); the proportionally large conical projections of the humeri (Fig. 19C); the relatively narrow hind femur without strong spines (Fig. 19B); the forewings almost completely covering the abdominal laterotergites, except for the posterolateral angles of the last segment (Fig. 19A, F); the abdomen narrowed between the hind coxae and trochanters (Fig. 19A, B); the posterolateral angles of male abdominal sternum VII reaching approximately half of abdominal segment VIII length (Fig. 19E); the male abdominal segment VIII with the dorsal apical margin projected centrally (Fig. 20D, E); and the shapes of the proctiger (Fig. 20F) and paramere (Fig. 20C, G).
