Material examined. Holotype ♀, Peru: Junin, Huancayo , 2.vi.2014, Haplorhus peruviana (J. Avalos) ( NHMB, dry mounted).

Paratypes. Peru: 2 ♀, same data as holotype ( NHMB, slide mounted and preserved in 70% ethanol).

Description. Adult. Colouration. Head and thorax reddish dorsally, black ventrally; abdominal sclerites black, intersegmental membranes red. Eyes grey; ocelli reddish. Clypeus dark brown to almost black; tip of rostrum black. Antennal segments 1 and 2 dark brown, apex of segment 2 yellow, segments 3–7 dirty brownish, 8–10 black. Pronotum with each a submedian and sublateral dark dot on either half, hind margin dark. Mesoscutum with five narrow longitudinal dark lines. Metanotum with dark patch. Forewing with brown veins and whitish membrane bearing a brown pattern consisting of ill-defined patches in the middle and apically ( Figs 6 View FIGURES 1 – 7 , 16 View FIGURES 8 – 21 ). Hindwing whitish, transparent. Leg greyish with brownish femora and dark brown basitarsi and apex of apicotarsi.

Structure. Vertex ( Figs 44 View FIGURES 36 – 49 , 58 View FIGURES 50 – 63 ) 2.1 times as wide as long, surface finely punctured; genae narrowly rounded, not produced; frons large, triangular. Antenna ( Fig. 72 View FIGURES 64 – 80 ) with one subapical rhinarium on each of segments 4, 6, 8 and 9; segments 5 and 7 slightly narrower than remaining flagellar segments; relative length of antennal flagellar segments = 1.0/ 0.4/ 0.3/ 0.4/ 0.3/ 0.4/ 0.4/ 0.3; segment 3 longer than segments 4 and 5 together; segment 10 with longer terminal seta 1.2 times as long as segment and shorter seta about 0.3 times as long. Clypeus strongly flattened, triangular. Pronotum transverse, short, about 5 times as wide as long. Meso- and metascutellum transverse, weakly raised. Metacoxa ( Fig. 86 View FIGURES 81 – 88 ) with meracanthus forming small tubercle and short, slightly conical membranous process on the trochanteral cavity. Metatibia with an open crown of 6 apical sclerotised spurs. Forewing ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1 – 7 , 16 View FIGURES 8 – 21 ) irregularly rhomboidal, apex narrowly rounded, weakly asymmetrical; vein C+Sc distinctly concave, slender; vein Rs sinuous; vein M1+2 curved backwards; membrane semi-transparent; surface spinules coarse, densely, irregularly spaced, leaving spinule-free stripes along the veins; radular spinules ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 22 – 35 ) forming broad, ill-defined bands along wing margin in cell m1, m2, and cu1. Terminalia as in Figs 136 View FIGURES 128 – 139 , 146 View FIGURES 140 – 151 . Male unknown. Female proctiger cuneate, subacute apically. Subgenital densely pilose ventrally, subacute apically.

Measurements (in mm) and ratios ( 1 ♀). Head width (HW) 1.12, antenna length (AL) 0.80, forewing length (WL) 2.70, metatibia length (TL) 0.62, female proctiger length (FP) 0.54.—AL/HW 0.71, WL/HW 2.41, WL/ forewing width 2.37, metafemur length/TL 0.65, TL/HW 0.55, FP/HW 0.48, FP/circumanal ring length 3.00, FP/ subgenital plate length 0.77.

Fifth instar immature unknown.

Etymology. Named after Pedro W. Lozada Robles, who provided the material of the new species.

Distribution. Peru ( Junin).

Host plant. Adults were collected on Haplorhus peruviana Engl. (Anacardiaceae) which is a likely host.
