Labasiella cochabamba OPITZ nov.sp. ( Figs 21 View Figs 1-27 , 47 View Figs 44-56 , 71 View Fig 71 , 77 View Figs 72-80 )
Holotype: ♀. Bolivia, Cochabamba, Germain ( MNHN). Paratypes: 3 specimens. Bolivia: Departamento de Cochabamba, Cochabamba (MNHN, 1; WOPC, 1). Peru: Departamento de Amazonas, 5 km N Pomacocha, on road to Rioja, 7-8-X-1964, 2,000 m, P. C. Hutchison & J. K. Wright (CASC, 1).
Diagnosis: The members of this species superficially resemble those of L. boyaca , but in L. cochabamba specimens the elytral punctures extend to the elytral apex.
Description: Size: Length 5.0 mm; width 2.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 77 View Figs 72-80 . Integument: Cranium and thorax dark castaneous; antenna brown; mouthparts mostly testaceous, terminal maxillary and labial palpomeres and mandibles brown; legs mostly brown, proximal region of prothoracic femur testaceous, distal region of profemur, remaining femora and all tibiae brown, tarsi testaceous; pterothorax brown; elytra mostly castaneous, with posthumeral and postmedial angular fasciae, apex testaceous. Head: Cranium coarsely punctate, antennal funicular antennomeres subfiliform ( Fig. 21 View Figs 1-27 ), capitulum lax, antennomeres 9 and 10 triangular, antennomere 11 globose; eyes small, frons wide (EW/FW 15/40); last maxillary and labial palpomere subsecuriform. Thorax: Pronotum ( Fig. 47 View Figs 44-56 ) with angular tubercle at sides, disc coarsely punctate, with 7 small knobs; elytral asetiferous punctures substriate, punctures extend sparsely to elytral apex, epipleural margin not serrulate near elytral apex. Abdomen: Pygidium scutiform.
Variation: Size: Length 3.8-6.0 mm; width 1.3-2.3 mm. Except for body size the available specimens are quite homogeneous.
Distribution ( Fig. 71 View Fig 71 ): This species is known from Peru and Bolivia.
Etymology: The trivial name, cochabamba, constitutes a noun in apposition and refers to the type locality.
