new species
(

)
Diagnosis
. Recognized by the following set of characters: dorsum dark brown-black (
Fig. 4d
); antennal segment II with white annulation on apex that is much narrower than half of interocular distance (
Fig. 4d
); posterior lobe of pronotum with distinct, broad swelling medially (
Fig. 4d
); scutellum distinctly convex, with long, dense, erect setae (
Fig. 4d
); endosoma membranous (
Figs 13a–c
); distal part of ductus seminis (dss) broad, caliciform with broad transparent portion dorsally, base of dss with broad sclerotized plate (
Figs 13a
); left paramere C-shaped, apical process relatively broad, with large outgrowth baso-laterally, weakly arcuate and broadened in dorsal view (
Figs 13d, e
), sensory lobe moderately developed, weakly pointed (
Fig. 13d
); right paramere with moderately long apical process and weakly developed sensory lobe (
Fig. 13j
); bursa copulatrix ovoid (
Fig. 18b, c
); sclerotized rings large, kidney-shaped and occupying most of bursa copulatrix (
Figs 18b, c
); sclerotization of ventral labiate plate broad, nearly triangular (
Fig. 18d
).
Description.
Male.
COLORATION
(
Fig. 4d
). Dorsum dark brown to black.
Head
. Fuscous, broadly tinged with yellow; antenna dark brown; segment I tinged with dark yellow, narrowly yellow basally; labium dark brown to black; segment I broadly tinged with yellow.
Pronotum
. Black.
Mesoscutum and scutellum
. Black; scutellum dark brown medially, with indistinct, dirty yellow tinge on basolateral angle.
Thoracic pleura
. Dark brown; metathoracic scent gland evaporative areas fuscous, broadly tinged with yellow posteriorly.
Hemelytron
. Dark brown to black.
Legs
. Procoxa dark brown; meso- and metacoxae yellow, tinged with dark brown; femora, tibiae, and tarsi dark brown; each femur with yellow band near apex; metafemur broadly tinged with yellow basally.
Abdomen
. Dark brown-black tinged with yellow.
TEXTURE AND VESTITURE
(
Fig. 4d
).
Head
. Covered with fine, short, sparse, semi-recumbent and erect setae; antennal segment I shiny, with a few fine, stiff, erect setae, being denser apically; segment II very sparse, semi-recumbent, short, fine setae being denser apically.
Thorax
.
Scutellum
. Covered with long, dense, erect setae (as in
Fig. 11l
).
Hemelytron
. Covered with short, fine, semi-recumbent setae.
STRUCTURE
(
Fig. 4d
).
Thorax
.
Pronotum
. Posterior lobe with broad swelling medially.
Scutellum
. With broad, strongly convex longitudinal swelling medially.
Abdomen
.
Genitalia
. Endosoma membranous without any sclerites; distal part of ductus seminis (dss) broad, caliciform with broad transparent portion dorsally, base of dss with broad sclerotized plate (
Figs 13a–c
). Left paramere C-shaped, apical process relatively broad, with large outgrowth baso-laterally, weakly arcuate and broadened in dorsal view (
Figs 13d, e
), sensory lobe moderately developed, weakly pointed (
Fig. 13d
). Right paramere with moderately long apical process and weakly developed sensory lobe (
Fig. 13f
).
Female. Like male in coloration, structure, texture, and vestiture.
Genitalia
. Bursa copulatrix ovoid (
Fig. 18b, c
); sclerotized rings large, occupying most of bursa copulatrix, kidney-shaped (
Figs 18b, c
); sclerotization of ventral labiate plate broad, nearly triangular (
Fig. 18d
).
Measurements

measurements):
Body
. Length: 6.10*/6.20–6.90, width 2.0*/2.20.
Head
. Length: 0.50*/0.56–0.60, width: 1.15*/1.16–1.20, interocular distance 0.40*/0.42.
Antenna
. Length of segment I: 0.66*/0.66–0.76, II: 2.95*/3.0, III: 3.95*/5.0, IV: 3.75*/4.5.
Labium
. Length of segment I: 0.9*/0.9, II: 0.87*/0.95, III: 1.0*/1.0, IV: 0.46*/0.46.
Pronotum
. Length 0.95*/1.0–1.05, width of anterior margin: 1.10*/1.20–1.30, length of lateral margin: 1.00*/1.00–1.05, width of posterior margin: 2.20*/2.30.
Etymology
. The specific epithet refers to the
type
locality.
Biology
. Unknown.
Distribution
.
Ecuador
(
Sucumbíos
),
Venezuela
(
Amazonas
).
Remarks
. Most like
P. simplex
in sharing the scutellum covered with long, erect setae (
Fig. 11l
). It can be distinguished by the presence of distinct lateral outgrowth of left paramere apical process (
Figs 13d, e
).
