Neoeutrypanus llanero sp. nov.

( Figs. 17–18 )

Description. Female. Integument dark-brown. Scape covered with grayish pubescence, antennomeres III-VII with basal half grayish and apical half brown, VIII-XI black. Pronotum with a narrow median longitudinal stripe of grayish pubescence, interrupted at middle; anterior third with lateral pair of grayish spot; laterally with band of grayish pubescence that reaches the prosternum. Elytra with dorsal basal half covered by grayish pubescence, interrupted by brown spots and at base, a brown triangle with apex to elytral extremity; fourth apical with band of grayish pubescence that reaches elytral margins at apex. Laterally, a band of grayish pubescence from base to apical fourth. Femora covered by grayish pubescence, with brown pubescence at apex and in basal half of ventral face. Tarsomere I grayish, II with basal half grayish and apical half black. Ventrally covered by uniform grayish pubescence.

Distance between upper lobes twice width of upper lobe. Antennae exceeding elytral apices at antennomere VI, with erect, sparse setae, mainly in ventral face and at apex. Scape and antennomeres III-IV subequal in length, antennomeres V–VII decreasing in length, VII-IX subequal and X ¼ longer than IX (the antennomere XI is broken). Prothorax armed with acute lateral tubercle in posterior third, directed backwards. Pronotum with basal row of punctures. Prosternal process narrowed at middle, width at narrowest point equal to 1/4 of procoxal cavity width. Mesosternal process truncate at apex, slightly wider than mesocoxal cavity.

Elytra about 4 times as long as prothorax, basal 2/3 with punctures, coarser at base. Humeri prominent, rounded. Lateral carina feebly demarcated. Apices sinuous, marginal angles slightly projected.

Metatarsomere I 1 /4 longer than II–III together. Sternites II and IV subequal in length, III slightly shorter than II, sternite V almost twice the length of II, narrowed to apex. Apex of urotergite V acute and gradually narrowed distally; apex of urosternite V with apical margin semicircularly emarginate, angles produced.

Measurements, in mm. Total length, 9.0; prothorax length, 1.7; prothorax width at its widest point, 2.8; elytral length, 7.3; humeral width, 3.6.

Etymology. The epithet, llanero , is a demonym alluding to the inhabitants of "Región de los Llanos” in Colombia, the locality where the specimen was collected.

Type material. Holotype female, COLOMBIA, Meta Department: Granada (450 m alt., N 3º32´W 73°43´), 7.XI.1976, G. Zabaleta col. ( UNAB).

Remarks. Neoeutrypanus llanero sp. nov. is distinctive in having the elytral carina feebly demarcated and restricted to the basal half of the elytra, the apical fifth of the elytra predominantly covered with whitish-gray pubescence, and tarsomere II bicolored with the basal half grayish and apical half black.
