(figs. 7–12, 31, 35)

Material examined. Holotype male. BOLIVIA. Santa Cruz: 3.7 Km SSE Buena Vista Hotel Flora & Fauna, 430 m, 10–29/XI/2003, B. K. Dozier ( MNKM).

Paratypes. PERU. Madre de Dios: Ψ, Rio Tambopata Res, 30 air km SW Pto. Maldonado, 90m 6–10/XI/ 1979 J. B. Heppner subtropical moist Forest, Peru Tambopata Survey Project Photo J. B. Heppner ( FSCA). BOLIVIA. Santa Cruz: Ψ, same data as holotype ( MNKM); ɗ, same data as holotype (JEE).

Measurements. Total length: 13–14.5; head length: 1.7–2; head width: 2.2–2.5; pronotal width: 11–12.7; abdominal width: 6.3–7.

Jugae punctured ahead of tylus. Rows of punctures on both margins of tylus and jugae covered by black stripes. Dark marks also present at base of eyes. Rostrum reaching middle of mesosternum. Pronotum with shallow, small, and uniformly distributed punctures. Humeral spines short, somewhat flat and slightly anteriorly directed (fig. 31); apex black, sharp, and directed backwards. Pronotal pleura without punctures on posterior half, anterior half with concolorous to dark punctures. Pleural region with vague light brown stripes. Anterior projection of metasternal process short and truncate (figs. 11–12). Scutellum without punctures on distal end. Hemelytron with corial margin black, densely punctured; membrane light brown.

Male (figs. 7–9). Pygophore somewhat compressed. Dorsal rim a little bit darker than dorsal surface of pygophore and covering most of the genital cup processes. Posterolateral angle strongly developed (figs. 7, 9). Ventral rim with a large concavity, lobes small, thin not reaching level of posterolateral angles and distant from midline (fig. 9). Genital cup processes flat, narrow, long, reaching apex of posterolateral angle (fig. 8). Paramere straight, large, but enclosed by pygophore; anterior lobe long narrow and acute, posterior wide and rounded (fig. 7–8). Proctiger short but surpassing ventral rim (fig. 7, 9), dorsally depressed, dorsal surface with a low central keel separating large concavities (fig. 8).

Female (fig. 10). Posterior margin of gonocoxites 8 curved, with tooth at lateral angle; detached from gonocoxites 9. Laterotergites 8 with posterior angle developed. Gonocoxites 9 mostly covered by gonocoxites 8. Laterotergites 9 with rounded apex and reaching band uniting laterotergites 8.

Comments. This species is easily recognized by the dark marks on the head and margins of corium; apex of humeral spines black, sharp, and directed backwards; pygophore slightly compressed with strongly developed posterolateral angles; gonocoxites 8 with a distinct tooth at lateral angles and detached from gonocoxites 9.

Distribution (fig. 35). PERU: Madre de Dios; BOLIVIA: Santa Cruz.
