Integument brown to black with yellow spots on the pronotum and elytra ( Fig. 24). Pronotum with three large, oval and longitudinal, yellow spots. Scutellum brown to black. Each elytron with six large spots: two basal, the first larger and quadrangular; second and more elongate lateral to basal humeral callus; third, behind, slightly smaller than first, with oblique base and rounded apex; fourth and fifth smaller, elongate, united, with fourth slightly larger than fifth; with the fifth spot near elytral border; sixth large, triangular, occupying entire elytral apex.   Variation.The central spot of the pronotum may be subdivided, rounded or small. The elytral spots may be partially united: the first and third, and the third and sixth, can be united near the suture. Length 3.92–4.08 mm. Width 3.08–3.50 mm.  Male.Median lobe symmetrical, with truncate apex, approximately the same size as parameres. Parameres wide at base, with strong constriction slightly beyond base, of constant width beyond constriction, and slightly indented near apex ( Fig. 44). Sipho elongate, curved, with truncated apex and membranous projections ( Fig. 45).  Female.Genital plate wide; spermatheca cylindrical, forming arc, with round cornus and poorly evident ramus; infundibulum elongate. Last sternite with dense array of elongate bristles on the apical border ( Fig. 46).   Remarks.  Hinda decemverrucataresembles  H. decasand  H. designatain the color and position of spots, and males have symmetrical genitalia. In H. decemverrucata ,however, the central spot of the elytral disc is elongate, differing from that of  H. designata.Also the male genitalia is different. In  H. decemverrucatathe parameres are approximately the same size, while in  H. designatathey are widened and concave at the apex. The geographical distribution of both species are restricted to Colombia.   Type Material. One specimenof  Hyperaspis decemverrucata, Gordon (1987), from Colombia, with label written [TYPE 10 verrucata Chevr], with three additional labels: one, printed in blue [TYPE], and two others with the following: [ Lectotype,  Hyperaspis decemverrucataMuls. R. Gordon70], (the designation of which was unpublished) and [Lectotype,  Hyperaspis10­  decemverrucataMuls. 1850 Gordon 1987].
