Diagnosis. Peridinetus rufotorquatus is one of several species with red anterior and olive posterior vestiture. It differs from similar-colored Peridinetus species by the presence of incomplete dorsolateral pronotal vittae ( Fig. 48 View FIGURES 46 – 49 ) and the arrangement of the interstrial ridges, which are confined to the elytral declivity. The studied specimens were 2.7–4.5 mm long (standard length 2.6–4.2 mm).

Piper aequale (Prena 1 ×), P. arieianum (Marquis 7 ×), P. biseriatum (Marquis 1 ×), P. culebranum (Marquis 1 ×), P. decurrens (Marquis 1 ×), P. glabrescens (Marquis 2 ×), P. multiplinervium (Marquis 1 ×), P. phytolaccaefolium (Marquis 7 ×), P. aff. sancti-felicis (Marquis 3 ×), P. sinagaudens (Marquis 1 ×), P. tonduzii (Marquis 3 ×), P. urostachyum (Marquis 2 ×).
