Recognized by following set of features: dorsum dark brown-black ( Fig. 6c ); antennal segment II dark brown, tinged with dark yellow basally and with white annulation on apex that is much narrower than half of interocular distance ( Fig. 6c ); posterior lobe with strongly developed swelling medially ( Fig. 6c ); scutellum covered with long, erect setae, with strongly convex, longitudinal swelling medially ( Fig. 6c ); endosoma membranous, with large sclerotized, serrate lobe beneath sclerotized distal portion of ductus seminis (dss) ( Figs 14l–n ); dss broad and long, caliciform, with broad, weakly sclerotized, transparent portion dorsally (Fig; 14l); sclerotized plate on base of dss rather small, elliptical (Fig; 14l); left paramere apical process without any outgrowth ( Figs. 14o, p ); bursa copulatrix sclerotized rings large ( Fig. 19d, e ); ventral labiate plate with broad, irregularly shaped sclerotization. Description. Male. COLORATION ( Fig. 6c ). Dorsum dark brownish black. Head . Fuscous tinged with dark yellow; antennal segment I dark stramineous; segment II dark brown, tinged with dark yellow basally and with white annulation on apex that is much narrower than half of interocular distance; segments III and IV dark brown; labium varying from fuscous dark yellow, tinged with red to entirely black. Thorax . Pronotum . Varying from dark brown to black. Mesoscutum and scutellum . Mesoscutum varying from dark castaneous to black; scutellum varying from dark brown castaneous with two large dark yellow patches each situated baso-laterally to entirely black, apex with small dark yellow spot. Thoracic pleura . Proepimeron and proepisternum dark brown to black; remaining pleura dark brown. Hemelytron . Dark brown; cuneus tinged with red basally; membrane dark grey. Legs . Procoxa dark castaneous to black; meso- and metacoxae varying from yellow to dark yellow tinged with dark brown basally; proleg dark brown with more or dark yellow annulation subapically. Abdomen . Varying from castaneous with yellow areas to entirely black. TEXTURE AND VESTITURE ( Fig. 6c ). Thorax . Scutellum . Covered with long, erect setae. Hemelytron . Covered with dense, semi-recumbent and erect setae. STRUCTURE ( Fig. 6c ). Thorax . Pronotum . Posterior lobe with strongly developed swelling medially. Scutellum . With strongly convex, broad longitudinal swelling medially. Abdomen . Genitalia . Endosoma membranous, with large sclerotized, serrate lobe beneath sclerotized distal portion of ductus seminis (dss) ( Figs 14l, m, n ); dss broad and long, caliciform, with broad, weakly sclerotized, transparent portion dorsally ( Figs 14l, n ); sclerotized plate on base of dss rather small, elliptical ( Fig. 14l ); left paramere C-shaped, apical process without lateral outgrowth ( Figs 14o, p ); right paramere sickle-shaped ( Fig. 14q ). Female. Like male in coloration, structure, texture, and vestiture. Genitalia. Bursa copulatrix trapezoidal ( Figs 19d, e ); sclerotized rings large, kidney-shaped ( Figs 19d, e ); ventral labiate plate with broad, irregularly shaped sclerotization. Measurements . ( ♂ / ♀ , * holotype measurements): Body . Length: 6.2*–6.3/7.0, width 2.0–2.2*/2.5. Head . Length: 0.55*/0.55, width: 1.2*/1.25, interocular distance 0.4*/0.5. Antenna . Length of segment I: 0.7*/0.7, II: 2.85–2.9*/3.05, III: 4.0*/4.1, IV: 2.45*/3.95. Labium . Length of segment I: 0.7*–0.62/0.94, II: 0.825*/1.0, III: 0.90*/0.97, IV: 0.35*/0.5. Pronotum . Length 1.0*–1.05/1.2, width of anterior margin: 1.05–1.1*/1.35, length of lateral margin: 0.95*–1.05/1.15, width of posterior margin: 2.15*–2.2/2.55. Etymology . The specific epithet is derived from the Latin “simplex meaning simple and is used to denote the left paramere apical process without an outgrowth. Biology . Unknown. Distribution . Ecuador ( Orellana ). Remarks . P. simplex is most like P. ecuadorensis by possessing long setae on the scutellum ( Fig. 11l ). In can be easily distinguished by the left paramere apical process devoid of an outgrowth ( Figs 14o, p ). Type material .
