New record. BOLIVIA: Cochabamba Department, Villa Tunari , 16.9844°S, 65.4094°W, 335 m a.s.l., 1♁, beating tray sampling, 6 Dec. 2017, R. Perger leg., IBSI-Ar1026 GoogleMaps .
Geographical and ecological distribution. Fluda perdita is known from Bolivia, Brazil, Guyana, “ New Granada ” (included portions of today’s Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru and Brazil), and Trinidad. The Bolivian locality of Villa Tunari (Cochabamba Dept.) is situated in Southwest Amazon rainforest ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ). According to Navarro & Ferreira (2007), the ecosystem of Villa Tunari is considered Sub-Andean Chapare forest. The individual of F. perdita was collected in an early successional forest in a small tree-fall gap, close to the edge of primary forest. Despite high sampling effort in several Bolivian forest ecoregions, the species was not observed in other forest habitats. Judging from the known records, F. perdita is typical for moist forests in the Caribbean-Neogranadian Superregion and the Amazonian-Guayan Superregion.
Remarks. Peckham & Peckham (1892) cited F. perdita from “ New Granada ”. Galiano (1971: 593) mentioned that the female type specimen was collected by Taczanowski and the Peckhams, switching the type locality “ New Granada ” to “ Colombia ”. Although the Republic of New Granada (existing from 1831 to 1858) primarily consisted of present-day Colombia and Panama, it also included smaller portions of today’s Costa Rica, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru and Brazil.In a later contribution, Galiano (1994) considered material collected by Taczanowski in New Granada as being from “ Panama ”. Therefore, we couldn’t determine in which specific area of New Granada Taczanowski and the Peckhams worked. The synonym of F. perdita , F. usta Mello-Leit „o, 1940, was reported from Morabally Creek, Essequibo, British Guiana ( Galiano 1971). Additionally, a male from Rio Gurupi, Pará, Brazil was reported by Galiano (1971), which was not cited in the synonymization of F. usta by Edwards (2001). In contrast to the new species that are subsequently reported in the present contribution, the habitus of F. perdita appear s to lack sexspecific dimorphism ( Edwards 2001).
