Holotype: ♂. Type locality: Jatahy (= Jatai), Prov. Goyas, Brezil (Goias, Brazil) ( MNHN).
D i a g n o s i s: The genus Ampleris OPITZ and its 7 previously described species were made available in 2016 ( OPITZ 2016). That work included a key to species. The available Ampleris jatai specimen keys out to A. orosis OPITZ, from which the A. jatai holotype differs by showing shorter and wider capitular antennomeres.

Color: Clypeus and lower frons testaceous, upper frons and epicranium brown, except epicranium with narrow testaceous streak at middle; gena testaceous; antenna brown; prothorax bicolored, venter testaceous; pronotum bicolored, disc broadly brown at sides, narrowly testaceous at middle, testaceous region laden with yellow setae; pterothorax, elytra, legs, and abdomen piceous. Head: Cranium coarsely punctate; antenna ( Fig. 83 View Figs 61-91 ) capitate, funicular antennomeres transverse, very setose, capitular antennomeres oblong; eyes small, coarsely facetted, eye narrower than frons (EW/FW 10/17). Thorax: Pronotal disc ( Fig. 188 View Figs 179-193 ) coarsely punctate, slightly oblong (PW/PL 40/43); lateral tubercle well developed; elytral asetiferous punctures substriate (EL/EW 165/35). Abdomen: Pygidium subquadrate/scutiform; aedeagus as in Fig. 236. View Figs 231-236
