Pandara indivisa sp. nov.

( Figs 3 View FIGURE 3 , 6H–I View FIGURE 6 )

Diagnosis. Male pygofer ( Fig. 3G View FIGURE 3 ) with posterior margin truncated. Subgenital plates ( Fig. 3I View FIGURE 3 ) with subparallel lateral margins. Style, in lateral view ( Fig. 3K View FIGURE 3 ), with ventral margin smooth and approximately straight. Aedeagus ( Figs 3L–M View FIGURE 3 ) with a single pair of preapical processes, slender, short, and directed dorsally.

Total length. Males, 7.5–8.5 mm (n=7).

Description. External morphological characters as in generic description.

Coloration. Color pattern as in generic description.

Male terminalia. Sternite VIII, in ventral view ( Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 ), approximately 1.5 times wider than long. Valve, in ventral view ( Fig. 3F View FIGURE 3 ), about 1.3 times wider than long; posterior margin emarginated medially. Pygofer, in lateral view ( Fig. 3G View FIGURE 3 ), approximately 1.4 times longer than high; dorsal margin slightly concave preapically; posterior margin truncated; apical dorsal process ( Fig. 3H View FIGURE 3 ) subtriangular. Subgenital plates, in lateral view ( Fig. 3G View FIGURE 3 ), not extending to apex of pygofer; in ventral view ( Fig. 3I View FIGURE 3 ), approximately 4.6 times longer than maximum width; lateral margins parallel; apex acutely rounded. Connective ( Fig. 3J View FIGURE 3 ) approximately half length of styles. Style, in lateral view ( Fig. 3K View FIGURE 3 ), with outer lobe with subacute apex; ventral margin of apophysis smooth and approximately straight. Aedeagus ( Figs 3L–M View FIGURE 3 ) shaft tubular, narrow at apex; with one pair (dorsal) of preapical processes, each elongate and directed dorsally, approximately one-fifth of length of shaft, not bifurcated, slightly exceeding apex of shaft, with apex acute, ventral pair absent.

Female unknown.

Distribution. Bolivia (Santa Cruz) and Peru (Cusco).

Etymology. The specific name refers to undivided pair of preapical processes of the aedeagus.

Material examined. Male holotype: “ Peru: Cusco 3rd Km E. Quincemil \ 13°13’03’’S 70°43’40’’W 633m \ 20.VIII-01.IX.2012, Malaise\ R.R. Cavichioli, J.A. Rafael, A.P.M. Santos & D.M. Takiya ” ( MUSM) GoogleMaps

Paratypes: 4m, same data as the holotype (2m MUSM, 1m DZRJ, 1m DZUP) GoogleMaps . 1m, “ Bolivia: Dpto. Santa Cruz \ Reserva Natural Potrerillo del\ Guanda ; 5-19.X.2009, 415m\ elev.; J.R. Cryan & A.J.Bell ” ( MNKM) GoogleMaps . 1m, ibidem, except “ S17°40.281’ \ 63°27.451’W 400m; 3-\ 9.XI.2009 at MV.UV lights &\ gen. coll.; Coll. G.J. Svenson ” ( INHS) GoogleMaps .

Notes. Pandara indivisa sp. nov. is easily distinguished from other species of the genus because it only has one pair of preapical processes on the aedeagus.
