( Figures 10A–D , 19G–H , 21B ) http://zoobank.org/ urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: F3334CDB-0589-4EA9-832E-366E5C4227CA Material examined (n=1). Holotype ♂ : PERU . Cuzco . Santa Isabel , Valley of River Cosnipata , 20.XI.1951 , F. Woytkowski leg. ( USNM ). Measurements. Total length: 14.4; head length: 1.8; head width: 2.9; pronotal length: 2.5; pronotal width: 8.6; scutellum length: 7.1; scutellum width: 4.8; abdominal width: 7.9; length of antennal segments. I: 0.7; II: 1.8; III: 1.1; IV: 3.8; V: missing. Diagnosis. Anterolateral margin of pronotum with solid black stripe along less than half of its extension. Anterolateral margin not punctured dorsally. Cicatrices of pronotum with concolorous punctures delimiting anterior sulci ( Fig. 19G ). Scutellum with anterior margin concolorous ( Fig. 19G ). Body ventrally with brown stripes ( Fig. 19H ). Male genitalia ( Fig. 10A–D ). Pygophore strongly excavated laterally, leaving visible base of the paramere and superior process of the genital cup ( Fig. 10C–D ). Dorsal rim strongly projected medially around base of proctiger; lateral angles strongly projected posteriorly, covering posterolateral angles in dorsal view ( Fig. 10A ). Superior process of genital cup half-moon shaped and concave; apex reaching dorsal rim; partially visible in dorsal view ( Fig. 10A–C ). Paramere long, dorsally directed; anterior lobe broadly expanded dorsally and rounded; posterior lobe short and triangular; inner face of the stalk with low evanescent carina curved to anterior lobe ( Fig. 10A–C ). Proctiger with dorsolateral tufts of short setae separated by broad glabrous bridge; posterior face projected caudally and ventrally, surpassing ventral rim, resembling Greek letter Omega ( Fig. 10B–C ). Ventral rim projected caudally, medial excavation shallow; expansions long, narrow, apex rounded, densely setose; surpassing level of posterolateral angles in ventral view ( Fig. 10D ). Female unknown. FIGURE 9. Hypoxys nigrosinuatus sp. n. A–D Male, pygophore; A—dorsal view; B—posterior view; C—lateroposterior view; D—ventral view (Scale = 1mm). FIGURE 10. Hypoxys omegoides sp. n. A–D Male, pygophore; A—dorsal view; B—posterior view; C—lateroposterior view; D—ventral view (Scale = 1mm). Comments. This species resembles Hypoxys boerneri and H. excavatus (see comments of H. excavatus ). However, this species is very different from all other species in the genus. This species has a dorsal rim very projected caudally, specially the corners; the paramere and posterior face of the proctiger are remarkable ( Fig. 10B,C ); and ventral rim is clearly different from H. boerneri and H. excavatus ( Figs. 7D , 10D ). Etymology. Name refers to the posterior face of proctiger resembling the Greek Omega letter (Suf. - oides : resembling, having the form of). Distribution ( Fig. 21B ). PERU : Cuzco .
