Length ratios of femora, tibiae and first tarsomeres: P 1 = 2.0: 2.1: 1.0; P 2 = 2.2: 3.0: 1.3; P 3 = 2.1: 3.5: 1.3. Fore claws as in Fig. 15 . Basal apodeme of male genitalia straight and narrow in dorsal view ( Fig. 16 ), conspicuously expanded and bent in lateral view (proximal end frazzeled – Fig. 6 ). Aedeagal complex with two pairs of hooked protuberances of characteristic shape ( Figs. 6, 9 , 16 ). Gonocoxites short and broad in lateral view ( Fig. 6 ), gonostyles elongate, approximately 1.5 times as long as gonocoxites, gradually tapering to apex, bent, with a long single seta subapically ( Figs. 6, 9 , 16 ). Epandrium with two irregularly formed fields of anterior insertions of hairs on both sides and central oval opening (aperture). Caudal epandrial notch shallow. Sclerotized remainders of 10 th segment inside of epandrium developed and safely indicated, approximately triangular and elongate ( Figs. 7 , 17 , 23 ), conspicuously hairy. Hypandrium narrow, bare ( Fig. 16 ). Epiproct wrinkle-shaped, hardly visible, hypoproct inconspicuous, fold-shaped, more sclerotized, both parts narrow and hairy ( Fig. 17 ). Surstyli cylindrical ( Figs. 7, 8 , 17 ), rather short, bent, with two small protuberances caudally and two retinaculi subapically ( Figs. 7 , 24, 25 ). Female. Unknown. Differential diagnosis. Eurygarka freyrei sp. nov. has a field of insertions of hairs on vertex compact (not divided by a medial line) and medial lobe of insertions of frontoclypeal hairs very short ( Figs. 1 , 18 ), length ratios of maxillary palpomeres 1.0: 1.6: 2.0: 2.2 ( Fig. 13 ), aedeagal complex with two pairs of conspicuously hooked protuberances of characteristic shape ( Figs. 6, 9 , 16 ), caudal epandrial notch shallow and aperture oval ( Fig. 17 ). Eurygarka aliciae ( Ibáñez-Bernal & Cáceres, 2005 ) , comb. nov. , differs by divided field of insertions of hairs on vertex, medial lobe of insertions of frontoclypeal hairs prolonged, length ratios of maxillary palpomeres 1.0: 1.3: 1.8: 2.3, two paired protuberances of aedeagal complex straight terminally, caudal epandrial notch V-shaped and aperture almost square. Etymology. Eurygarka freyrei sp. nov. is named in honour of R. Jaimes Freyre, the famous Bolivian poet from the early 20 th century. Biology and collecting circumstances. Cieneguillas ( Fig. 85 ) is an old Inca settlement, and an important focus of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. Lutzomyia longipalpis ( Lutz & Neiva, 1912 ) , the primary vector of visceral leishmaniasis in South America, is present here in both domestic and sylvan habitats; L. longipalpus prefer dry forest habitats. At the bottom of Rio La Paz valley, vegetation belongs to the interandean seasonally dry tropical forest type ( Fig. 86 ). Distribution. Bolivia : Subandean region.
