Tarsomere 5 of posterior leg long and broadly triangulate (as in Fig. 2a) inserted into markedly emarginate tarsomere 4. Elytron ( Figs. 6b, c) with intervals flat or nearly so; punctures of internuers basally course and uneven; elytral color dark green without coppery reflection. Legs rufescent with black knees. Male aedeagus ( Fig. 8a).

Description. (See Table 1): Size: ABL = 17.00– 21.50 mm; SBL = 17.27– 20.42 mm; TW = 4.14–6.02 mm; LH = 3.55–4.20 mm; LP = 3.59–4.42 mm; LE = 10.10–11.80 mm.

Geographical Distribution ( Fig. 11). This species occurs in the black water subsidence zone between the Samiria and Pacaya Rivers in central Peru´.

Specimens Examined. Holotype male, PERÚ, Loreto, 1km SW Boca del Rio Samiria, Vigilante Post No. 1, 04 ° 40.5 ̍ S, 74 ° 18 ̍ W, 390 m, T. L. Erwin, 31­ Aug­1991, MUSM, * ADP 51635 . Paratypes, 2 females, same data as type, USNM, MUSM, ADP 51633, 51636 ; 1 female, same locality as type, T . L. Erwin & M.G. Pogue, Colls. , USNM, ADP 67325 ; 2 females, Cocha Shinguito, 05 ° 08 ̍ S, 74 ° 45 ̍ W, 390 m, T . L. Erwin et al., 25­May­1990, USNM, ADP 04307, 04308 About USNM .

Notes. The type series was collected by insecticidal foggings of epiphyteladen trees in the igapó zone of the Rio Samiria.

Etymology. Two of my hard­working assistants on the expeditions up the Samiria River in central Perú were the sisters Servat, Grace and Milagros, and it is for them that this species is named, servatorum .
