1F4A7E6028DF5732BF8823775ACDBA89.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The most distinctive characters of Yuracarus are its slender body shape, as well as its predominantly metallic-colored habitus (excluding the abdomen), in addition to the profemur distinctly angulate medially, the protarsomeres 1 – 4 enlarged, sub-bilobed, and rather flattened, with a patch of striate and petiolate discal setae, also present on the meso- and metatarsomeres, although less distinct due to the meso- and metatarsomeres being distinctly narrower than the protarsomeres, as well as the hind margin of tergum 8 truncate and angulate medially in both sexes. In addition to these characters, it differs from other Neotropical genera with enlarged protarsomeres and discal setae currently known (i. e., Delgadobius, Konradus, Inesius, Rhaegalius and Atopocentrum) by the gular sutures being joined anteriorly, whereas in Delgadobius, Konradus, Inesius, and Rhaegalius, the gular sutures are either joined posteriorly (Konradus, Inesius, Rhaegalius and Atopocentrum) or not joined (Delgadobius).	en	Chani-Posse, Mariana Raquel, Rodríguez-Melgarejo, Maryzender Erceliz, Ramírez-Salamanca, José Manuel (2025): Systematics and phylogeny of the Andean genera Konradus Chani-Posse & Ramírez-Salamanca and Yuracarus gen. nov.
