Fig. 26. Genital segment. A. Streblopus opatroides van Lansberge, 1874. B. S. punctatus (Balthasar, 1938). Note that the medial sclerotized plate is larger and more sclerotized in S. punctatus than in S. opatroides; other differences refer to their lateral arches (indicated by blue arrows), which are concave in S. opatroides and more or less straight in S. punctatus, and the posterior arms of the MSP (indicated by red arrows), which are well developed and separated by a deep ʻU-shapeʼ in S. punctatus and only slightly indicated in S. opatroides. Abbreviations: LSP = lateral sclerotized plate; MSP = medial sclerotized plate.Published as part of Cupello, Mario, Ribeiro-Costa, Cibele S. & Vaz-De, Fernando Z., 2020, Systematics of the enigmatic South American Streblopus Van Lansberge, 1874 dung beetles and their transatlantic origin: a case study on the role of dispersal events in the biogeographical history of the Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), pp. 1-85 in European Journal of Taxonomy 603 on page 43, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2020.603, http://zenodo.org/record/366684
