Ptenidium
(
Peruvium
sg. n.)
Type
species of the subgenus
Ptenidium gibbosum
sp. n.
Distinguished from all other
Ptenidium
species by the globular female spermatheca and, with one exception, by the possession of small tufts of setae on the pronotal hind angles. In addition the pronotum does not bear noticeably larger punctures on the anterior or posterior borders and the aedeagi are distinctive in being broad near the tip and/ or having a more complex profile (
