Heniartes putumayo
Wygodzinsky, 1947
H. putumayo
may be confused with
H. flavicans
, but the anterolateral angles of the pronotum are bare whereas in
H. flavicans
the area is covered by adpressed short setae. In the only specimen examined here (
Fig. 37
), the anterolateral angles of the collar have an area devoid of short setae, with only some scattered long hairs (
Fig. 36
); the pronotum has many broken setae, but the submedian posterior lines of setae of the anterior lobe of the pronotum are composed of long setae, not of short ones as is generally found in
H. flavicans
(
Wygodzinsky 1947a
)
. The total length of the examined specimen is 18.7 mm, somewhat smaller than the female examined by Wygodzinsky (
19 mm
).
Wygodzinsky (1947a)
stated that even though
H. putumayo
is rather similar to
H. flavicans
, the above characteristics separate the two species.
H. putumayo
was described from
Peru
(
Putumayo
District) (
Wygodzinsky 1947a
;
Maldonado 1990
).
Villiers (1971)
recorded “

French Guiana
. The specimen listed below is a new record from

.
