Venezuela : Estado de Aragua , Rancho Grande , 24-25-II- 1971 , 800 m , H. a. Howden ( CMNC ). D i a g n o s i s: The broad serrate condition of the funicular antennomeres will distinguish the members of this species from others within Peloniinae . D e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 5.5 mm ; width 1.8 mm . Form: As in Fig. 355 . Color: Cranium bicolored; lower frons and cranial venter testaceous, upper frons and epicranium black; antennal apex yellow, reminder brown; pronotal disc tricolored, middle of disc broadly black, sides reddish, side margins yellow; prothoracic venter testaceous; pterothorax and abdomen black; elytra mostly dark brown, epipleural margin and elytral apex yellow. Head: Eyes large, coarsely facetted, eye as wide as frons (EW/FW 23/23); antenna capitate ( Fig. 52 ), funicular antennomeres broad serrate, capitular antennomers oblong. Thorax: Pronotum ( Fig. 146 ) transverse; pronotal tubercles well-defined (PW/PL 73/60), disc coarsely punctate; elytral asetiferous punctures profusely distributed throughout disc (EL/EW 240/55). Abdomen: Pygidium scutiform; aedeagus as in Fig. 259 . Variation: Length 4.0- 5.5 mm ; width 1.4-1.8 mm . The paratype differs from the Holotype by showing the pronotal arch and the pronotal disc testaceous. N a t u r a l H i s t o r y: The holotype was collected in April, the paratype during February at 800 m . D i s t r i b u t i o n: ThisspeciesisknownfromPeru. E t y m o l o g y: The trivial name, pachacutii , is a patronymic that honors the father of Topa Inca of Inca Empire fame.
