Treatment

Azya exuta Gordon, 1980: 190 .

First record for Ecuador.

Specimens examined. 1 ♂ “ Ecuador, Prov. Napo (2) / 1.3 km SW Baeza , 2050m / S 00 ° 28’34” W 77°53’47” / 11.xi.2006, J. Skuhrovec lgt.”, “dense bush of Chusquea / close to stream with few solitary trees / near pastures & moss and / leaves on slope above road”, “ ♂ 1999” ( NMP) GoogleMaps .

Remarks. The male specimen examined has a black head, contrary to the yellow color indicated by Gordon (1980) for males, but the genitalia and habitus of the specimen entirely agree with the original description, especially the homogeneous brown pubescence which gives it the appearance of being glabrous. Species reported previously for Colombia ( Gordon 1980).
