Head length 1.43–1.50 (mean = 1.48), width 0.70–0.80 (mean = 0.75). Head smooth brown, with sparse light brown setae ( Fig. 2 ­M). Postocular region with abundant long and brown setae. Antennal length 8.37– 9.55 (mean = 8. 65), ratio of segments' lengths ca. 1: 0.60: 0.13: 0.35. Antennal tubercle with anteriorly directed spine at base. Antennal segment I light brown, except basally and apically brown, segment II and III brown. Width of eyes 0.13–0.21 (mean = 0.16), interocular space 0.33–0.42 (mean = 0.38). Genae protruded, light brown. Labrum dark brown. Gula light brown. Rostrum length 1.30–1.60 (mean = 1.49), ratio of segments' lengths ca. 1: 1.47: 0.67. Rostrum segments I and II light brown except brown distally with sparse short setae, segment III brown except dark brown apically. Neck dorsally with 1+1 small setose tubercles. Pronotum length 1.90–2.43 (mean = 2.11), width 0.95–1.23 (mean = 1.09). Anterior lobe brown with small short setiferous tubercles. Median sulcus evident only distally. Posterior lobe granulated and setose, light brown. Posterior edge invaginated. Scutellum smooth brown and setose ( Fig. 2 ­N). Sterna glabrous. Fore legs light brown, trochanters with sparse setae, femora light brown except a dark brown ring distally or two small rings, one distally and the other medially, tibia light brown setose, tarsi light brown except segment III brown ( Figs. 2 ­O). Median and hind legs light brown, femora slightly incrassate apically, tibia with abundant thin setae, tarsi brown. Pleura brown glabrous. Stridulatory sulcus dark brown and setose ( Fig. 2 ­P). Hemelytra length 4.74–5.32 (mean = 5.10), brown. Abdomen length 4.75–5.70 (mean = 5.24), width 1.20­ 2.28 (mean = 1.41). Abdomen visible from above. Connexivum light brown, urotergites light brown and glabrous. Male: pygophore smooth and setose, without base of median process ( Fig. 2 ­Q). Parameres elongate, apically curved with short internal and external setae ( Fig. 2 ­R). Apical hook very acute and straight ( Fig. 2 ­S). Phallus ( Fig. 2 ­T), articulatory apparatus ( Fig. 2 ­U) Female: gonocoxite VIII subquadrangular, abundant setae present ( Fig. 2 ­V), laterally expanded, relation between maximal width of gonocoxite and maximal width of gonapophysis 5.3: 1.3. Gonocoxite IX subtriangular, distal abundant long setae present ( Fig. 2 ­ W). Distribution ( Fig. 4 ­B): ARGENTINA , BOLIVIA , BRAZIL , GUYANA , and PAN­ AMA. Observations: New record for Bolivia , new locality records for Argentina and Brazil . The closest species are B. biannulatus and B. misionensis n. sp. , but B. femoratus differs in the structure of the male and female genitalia. FIGURE 2. A–L. Bactrodes spinulosus : A.
