Diagnosis.
Triclistus ashaninka
has a body structure similar to the Costa Rican species
T. slimellus
Gauld & Sithole
and
T. tabetus
Gauld & Sithole
, as well as
T. matsiguenga
sp. n.
, but it is distinctive among them for having the face concave.
Description.
F: Fore wing length
3.9–4.2 mm
. Antenna with 20 flagellomeres, second flagellomere 2.0x as long as centrally broad, subapical flagellomeres elongate, 1.5x as long as centrally broad, clearly longer than broad; face concave, 1.1x as long as wide, granulose with sparse punctures; clypeal margin concave; labrum exposed when mandibles closed, punctate; mandible with upper margin following labrum’s shape, not twisted, tapered, with upper tooth broader and longer than lower tooth; malar space 1.1x as long as basal mandibular width; lateral ocellus separated from compound eye by 1.8x ocellar diameter; head in dorsal view with gena slightly declivous then abruptly rounded; gena, on lateral view 1.0x as long as compound eyes; frons coarsely punctate; crest between antennal toruli wide; upper part of gena and vertex smooth and bare except for row of punctures around compound eyes; lower part of gena punctate. Mesosoma generally smooth, polished and coarsely punctate; pronotum polished with band of hairs along upper and posterior margins, mesopleurum punctate except speculum; mesoscutum slightly convex in anterior half then slightly concave in posterior half; notauli extending to center, weak; scutoscutellar groove deep and smooth; scutellum slightly convex with longitudinal lateral carinae reaching to 0.4x its length; metapleuron polished with isolated setae in anterior area, elsewhere bare, with posterior upper corner (intersection between submetapleural and pleural carinae) forming almost a right angle; submetapleural carina smooth, anteriorly expanded into a conspicuous triangular lobe. Propodeum quite long and straight, rather flat then abruptly rounded posteriorly; with longitudinal carinae, confluent area externa and dentipara smooth and punctate laterally; posterior transverse carina strong; area spiracularis + area lateralis confluent, coarsely punctate; spiracle oval. Fore wing 3rs-m absent, areolet not defined. Metasoma with tergite I 1.8x as long as posteriorly broad, lateral longitudinal carinae reaching to spiracle, with lateromedian carinae extending 0.6–0.7x length of tergite, coarsely punctate between carinae; tergite II coarsely punctate on lateral margin areas, as long as posteriorly broad; tergites III–V coarsely punctate, tergites VI–VII similarly sculptured but with rows of strong setae on posterior margins.

Etymology.
The specific epithet “
ashaninka
”
is in honor of the
Asháninka
, the largest indigenous group of
Peru
; they live scattered over a vast territory that includes the valleys of the Apurimac, Ene, Tambo, Perene Pichis, a sector of Upper Ucayali and Gran Pajonal interfluvial area, and this species was collected in their territory.
