Odontocheila emilerivalieri Moravec, 2016

MATERIAL. 1♀ — N Peru, Iquitos env., II–III.2004 , leg. local collector; 3♂♂ 1♀ — N Peru, Loreto Reg., 60 km SW of Iquitos, Itaya River , h ~ 1200 m, 6–9.II.2005, leg. O.

NOTES. This species was originally described from the area of Manicoré town on the Madeira River within the Manicoré Biological Reserve in the Brazilian State of Amazonas [ Moravec, 2016], and until now it was known only from the type-locality [Morvaec, 2018; Wiesner, 2020]. From other species of the cajennensis species-group O. emilerivalieri is easily recognised by the complex of following features — completely testaceous labrum as well as metatibiae and metatarsi, bright iridescent green sublateral margins of elytra, entirely black femora and abdominal sternites. This new record from Peru indicates a more widespread distribution of this species in the Amazon basin.
