( Figs 3 , 6H–I ) Diagnosis. Male pygofer ( Fig. 3G ) with posterior margin truncated. Subgenital plates ( Fig. 3I ) with subparallel lateral margins. Style, in lateral view ( Fig. 3K ), with ventral margin smooth and approximately straight. Aedeagus ( Figs 3L–M ) with a single pair of preapical processes, slender, short, and directed dorsally. Total length. Males, 7.5–8.5 mm (n=7). Description. External morphological characters as in generic description. Coloration . Color pattern as in generic description. Male terminalia . Sternite VIII, in ventral view ( Fig. 3E ), approximately 1.5 times wider than long. Valve, in ventral view ( Fig. 3F ), about 1.3 times wider than long; posterior margin emarginated medially. Pygofer, in lateral view ( Fig. 3G ), approximately 1.4 times longer than high; dorsal margin slightly concave preapically; posterior margin truncated; apical dorsal process ( Fig. 3H ) subtriangular. Subgenital plates, in lateral view ( Fig. 3G ), not extending to apex of pygofer; in ventral view ( Fig. 3I ), approximately 4.6 times longer than maximum width; lateral margins parallel; apex acutely rounded. Connective ( Fig. 3J ) approximately half length of styles. Style, in lateral view ( Fig. 3K ), with outer lobe with subacute apex; ventral margin of apophysis smooth and approximately straight. Aedeagus ( Figs 3L–M ) shaft tubular, narrow at apex; with one pair (dorsal) of preapical processes, each elongate and directed dorsally, approximately one-fifth of length of shaft, not bifurcated, slightly exceeding apex of shaft, with apex acute, ventral pair absent. Female unknown. Distribution. Bolivia ( Santa Cruz ) and Peru ( Cusco ). Etymology. The specific name refers to undivided pair of preapical processes of the aedeagus. Material examined. Male holotype : “ Peru : Cusco 3rd Km E. Quincemil \ 13°13’03’’S 70°43’40’’W 633m \ 20.VIII-01.IX.2012 , Malaise\ R.R. Cavichioli , J.A. Rafael , A.P.M. Santos & D.M.

Pandara indivisa sp. nov. is easily distinguished from other species of the genus because it only has one pair of preapical processes on the aedeagus.
