Description of Brontostoma doughertyae n. sp. and a comparative morphological study with B. rubrum (Amyot & Serville, 1843) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Ectrichodiinae). Entomol. vectores [online]. 2005, vol.12, n.1, pp. 75-94. ISSN 0328-0381.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0328-03812005000100006.

Brontostoma doughertyae n. sp. (Hemiptera-Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Ectrichodiinae), from Espírito Santo and Bahia States, Brazil is described based on male specimens. A comparative analysis between the phallic structures of Brontostoma rubrum (Amyot & Serville, 1843) and B. doughertyae sp. nov. is presented. Three structures are important to distinguish them: the gonoporal process (PrG); support of the phallosoma (SPh) and the phallosoma (Ph). A key for the brazilian species of Brontostoma is presented.
