Etymology. amazonica = name in apposition, referring to the Amazonian Biome where this species occurs.
Distribution. Brazil (Roraima, Amazonas, Pará, Maranhão and Rondônia) and Peru (Cuzco) ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 ).
Phenology. The largest number of collecting events for this species was observed from September to February with sporadic occurrence in April and June (Tab. 1).
Taxonomic discussion. Aphestia amazonica sp. nov. can be differentiated from other species into the genus by the presence of only 1 notopleural macroseta; 2 marginal scutellar macrosetae (one pair) ( Fig. 17G View FIGURE 17 ); only the first two and the sixth abdominal tergites with lateral marginal macrosetae; cercus rounded ( Figs 18A, E View FIGURE 18 , 19A View FIGURE 19 ); subepandrial sclerite rounded at base and conic apically ( Fig. 18A, E View FIGURE 18 ); gonocoxite acuminate and gonostylus Lshaped ( Fig. 18C, G–H View FIGURE 18 ).
