ABSTRACT We herein propose the transfer of Metaphareus punctatus Roewer, 1913, to the genus Eutimesius Roewer, 1913 (Heterostygninae) based on the genital morphology of the species and morphology of tarsi III and IV, resulting in the new combination Eutimesius punctatus (Roewer, 1913), comb. nov. New geographical records for E. albicinctus (Roewer, 1915) are offered, recording sympatry between the congeneric species E. albicinctus and E. punctatus and data on the reproductive behavior of E. punctatus are presented, suggesting the existence of parental care in this species.

RESUMEN Proponemos aquí la transferencia de Metaphareus punctatus Roewer, 1913, al género Eutimesius Roewer, 1913 (Heterostygninae), fundamentándonos en la morfología genital de la especie y morfología de los tarsos III y IV, resultando en la nueva combinación Eutimesius punctatus (Roewer, 1913), comb. nov. Nuevos registros geográficos para E. albicinctus (Roewer, 1915) son ofrecidos, registrando la simpatría entre las especies congenéricas E. albicinctus y E. punctatus y se presentan datos sobre el comportamiento reproductivo de E. punctatus, sugiriéndose la existencia de cuidado parental en esta especie.
