HOLOTYPE ♂ (ZMUM), Peru, Huanuco Region, Carpish Pass, 2400 m a.s.l., S 09°41′34″, W 76°05′06″, cloud forest, in epiphytes, 9.IX.2017, K.Yu. Eskov leg.
NAME.To emphasize the type locality; a noun in apposition.
DIAGNOSIS. Differs from congeners by the body being composed of 20 body rings (Figs 31–33), coupled with a slender unipartite gonotelopodite, the sole branch of which is long, slender, rather regularly curved cephalad and carries a mesal denticle at distal third; a solenomere is wanting, the seminal groove (sg) being relatively short and terminating near a basal tooth (t) (Figs 34–36).
DESCRIPTION. Length ca 12 mm, width of midbody proand metazonae 1.1 and 2.0 mm, respectively (♂). Colouration in alcohol uniformly light pinkish brown with lighter venter and legs (Figs 31–33). Body with 20 segments. Antennae medium-sized, slender (Figs 31–33), in situ reaching past ring 3 dorsally (♂).
In width, collum <head <ring 2 <3 <4 <5=15, thereafter body gradually tapering towards telson (Figs 31–33). Paraterga starting with collum, mostly subhorizontal to slightly upturned, leaving dorsum largely only slightly convex to subhorizontal.
Gonopods (Figs 34–36) with moderately large and roundish coxites (cx) about as high as telopodites (te), and a shallow gonocoel; each cx with two strong distolateral setae and a usual, strongly unciform cannula (ca) at base. Telopodite (te) basically unipartite, with a single, long, acuminate, mesal branch (mb) rather regularly curved cephalad and carrying a mesal denticle at distal one-third; a prominent, subovoid, mesal lobe (lo) near base of mb and a sharp basal tooth (t) terminating a short and curved seminal groove (sg), the latter being totally devoid of a solenomere.
