Pararhicnoderma eniocanoi Cadena-Castañeda & Monzón , new species

(figs. 37–44)

Diagnosis. Antennae with 22 segments. Tegument smooth and finely punctate. Vertex fastigium without tubercules, same as rostrum. Ectophallic valvae moderate in size with blunt apex, zingoma dorso-ventrally expanded from anterior margin, thinning towards posterior margin, undulate in dorsal view. Endophallus elevating from mesal portion in lateral view. Epiphallus simple and robust, lophi small and curving upwards in lateral view.

Holotype. ♂. Huehuetenango, Barillas, San Ramón, Río Bravo. 600 m. Latitude: 15.846620 Longitude: - 91.2322045. 20 July 2012. J. Monzón y F. Camposeco leg. (MUD).

Description. Male. Live coloration olive green. Integument finely punctate, relatively smooth, not nodular. Antennae with 22 segments. Vertex fastigium smooth, wide and without elongated tubercules. Prosternal process transverse, chisel-shaped, without obvious tubercles at ends. Pronotum cylindrical and without specialization. Legs: anterior and medial coxae reduced, medial femora and tibiae flattened laterally, latero-internal apex of the femora extending more than the latero-external apex, posterior femora ovoid and elongated, posterior tibiae slender and armed with eight pairs of dorsal spines, which originate from mesal portion, genicular lobules unarmed. Abdomen cylindrical and elongate. Tenth terguite hexagonal, wider than long in dorsal view, epiproctum triangular with apex concave, cerci cylindrical and not longer than epiproctal length, subgenital plate elongated, with superior border marked and merged to pallium. Phallic complex: ectophallic layer with cingulum capsular and expanded, dorsal processes of zygoma with apodema strongly sclerotized, ectophallic valvae medium in size, with blunt apex and emerging from base of zygoma. Endophallic layer elongated and composed by elongated filaments that diverge at the base. Epiphallus: basal bridge thick and undulated, more on the posterior than on the anterior margin, lophi robust and curving upwards in lateral view.

Female. Unknown.

Etymology. We are very proud to name this species after Enio B. Cano, the curator of the Arthropod Collection at Universidad del Valle de Guatemala for all his work to document the Guatemalan insect fauna.
