Diagnosis.

Body length: male 17 mm, female 17-19 mm. The triangle of golden pile on the mesoscutum place this species in a group with P. aureoscutus, P. aureus, P. trilinea and P. trivittatus . Peradon fenestratus differs from all four of those by the erect (instead of appressed) pile on the scutellum (Fig. 16).

Notes.

Label information of the studied Brazilian specimens in the INPA collection states that these were collected in "terra firme" (non-flooded) forest and at a small stream ( “igarapé”).

Distribution.

Known from the Brazilian Amazon region and from French Guiana.
