Emended description.
Measurements (in mm; 1♂, 1♀). Body length from apex of head to tip of tegmina: ♂ 13.8, ♀ 14.1; head length (includes: apex of cephalic process to constricted and curved part + from curved part to base of eyes): ♂♀ 0.6+(0.9-1.0); head width including eyes: ♂ 1.7, ♀ 1.6; tegmen length: ♂ 11.4, ♀ 11.7.
Coloration. Head stramineous green, lateral carinae of vertex reddish brown, lateral and intermediate carinae of frons in front of eyes black to reddish brown, lateral areas in front of eyes green. Pronotum and mesonotum stramineous green, upper lateral carinae of pronotum green. Tegmina and hindwings with membrane hyaline, costal margin black to dark brown, veins green to greenish yellow, pterostigmal area more or less greenish ochraceous. Legs yellowish brown, base, apex and apical spines of tibiae fuscous. Abdomen dorsally and ventrally greenish ochraceous.
Structure. Head with cephalic process relatively long, in lateral view (Fig. 7B View Figure 7 ), curved upward about 60° in front of eyes. Vertex (Fig. 7A View Figure 7 ) broad, with ratio of length at midline to width between eyes (1.6-1.7):1. Frons (Fig. 7C View Figure 7 ) flat, relatively broad, with ratio of length at midline to maximum width 2.6:1.
Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view (Fig. 7E View Figure 7 ) with ratio of ventral to dorsal width about 2.1:1; posterior margin broadly angular near middle. Gonostyles (Fig. 7F View Figure 7 ) large and broad, dorsal process elongate, triangular, acute apically, more or less incurved and directed dorsoanteriad; hook-like process situated sub-basally, slightly below dorsal process, curved apicad (Fig. 7G View Figure 7 ). Aedeagus (Fig. 7H-J View Figure 7 ) large and stout, endosomal processes curved dorsoanteriad; phallobase sclerotized and pigmented at lateral sides, membranous and slightly inflated dorsally and ventrally: dorsal lobes small, U-shaped at apex, directed posteriad; a pair of lateral lobes large and elongate, base rounded and expanded laterad, remaining thumb-like, subapex with a large long spine, directed posteriad; ventral lobes large, nearly cross-shaped in ventral view (Fig. 7J View Figure 7 ), base protruded anteriad, middle expanded laterad, with a large and stout spine, apex produced in a large thumb-like lobe, without spine, directed posteriad. Segment X (Fig. 7D, E View Figure 7 ), in dorsal view, lateral margins more or less convex near middle, with ratio of length to width near middle about 1.8:1.
Female genitalia. As in generic description.

Distribution.
Northwestern Bolivia, southern Peru ( Melichar 1912).
Remarks.
Igava recurva Melichar was described based on an unspecified number of specimens from "Peru, Pachitea, Marcapata; Bolivien, Mapiri, Yungas (Garlepp) (Mus. Budapest und Dresden)" ( Melichar 1912). One male syntype from Bolivia, Mapiri preserved in Melichar’s personal collection in MMBC is here used for the redescription of the species and designated as the lectotype according to Article 74 of ICZN (1999) to stabilize the nomenclature. Another conspecific female from Bolivia with collecting data matching the original description has been located by us in MTD and was labelled as a paralectotype. Specimens from Peru have not been examined by us.
