Cohnia andeana
(
Hebard, 1924
)
comb. nov.
(
Fig. 1
) was described as
Dichopetala
from
Loja
,
Ecuador
. Since its description
C. andeana
has been no more collected and it was only mentioned by
Rehn (1955)
; being to date known only for
type
material and from
type
locality.
C. andeana
was finally collected in two recent expeditions in the neighborhood of
Loja
, in the village of Catamayo, Southern
Ecuador
(
Fig. 2
).
Diagnosis:
Pronotum (
Fig. 5–8
) of both sexes with typical sulcus behind the second third and consequently metazona long less than half of prozona, without humeral sinus. Male cerci (
Fig. 9, 11–13
) simply tapering to the apex, curved inward in the distal third. Male titillators (
Fig. 18–19
) toothless and well sclerotized. Genicular lobes unarmed. Female subgenital plate (
Fig. 21, 24
) entire, subhexagonal, apically truncated and longitudinally carinated in the middle. Ovipositor (
Fig. 15
) regularly upward curved in its middle portion with distal half coarsely serrulated.
Derivatio nominis:
Named after Theodore J. Cohn of Ann Arbour University in
USA
, who inspired our investigations and allowed us to have a wide overview on the genus
Dichopetala
.
Distribution:
Known for
type
locality and surroundings in
Ecuador
. Adopting the biogeographic arrangement of Latin America by
Morrone (2006)
, the genus is Neotropical occurring in the Nortwestern Southamerican Dominio.
