Wappesoeme camiri sp. nov.

( Figures 16–18 )

Description. Integument light brown; ventral side, distal antennomeres, and femora yellowish-brown; mandibles dark-brown.

Head. Frons, mostly antennal tubercles and vertex coarsely, densely punctate; area at antennal tubercles closer to scape shiny, smooth; pubescence on frons, base of antennal tubercles, and vertex short, moderately sparse; pubescence on remaining area of antennal tubercle longer, somewhat denser, with one very long seta at base, except for shiny glabrous area; vertex with one very long seta at each side of coronal suture; central region between antennal tubercles and eyes with distinct depression. Coronal suture distinct from clypeus to anterior margin of prothorax. Ocular carina absent. Area behind eyes coarsely, densely punctate, gradually smoother towards anterior margin of prothorax, mainly behind lower eye lobes; with short, sparse setae, interspersed with very long, moderately abundant setae near apex of lower eyes lobes. Gula laterally coarsely, sparsely punctate, centrally smooth. Submentum margined with wide area with coarse, dense punctures, centrally almost smooth; with short, sparse setae, interspersed with very long, sparse setae. Distance between upper eye lobes equal to 0.35 times length of scape; distance between lower eye lobes, in frontal view, equal to 0.75 length of scape. Antennae twice as long as elytral length; reaching elytral length at base of antennomere VIII; antennal formula based on antennomere III: scape = 0.58; pedicel = 0.15; IV = 1.01; V = 0.90; VI = 0.78; VII = 0.65; VIII = 0.58; IX = 0.55; X = 0.47; XI = 0.51.

Thorax. Pronotum moderately finely, densely, confluently punctate, except for three longitudinal smooth, shiny bands, from basal to anterior constrictions, one at each side of central wide sulcus, another centrally, narrowest; pubescence moderately abundant, but distinctly not obliterating integument, interspersed with long, sparse setae; basal edge distinctly emarginated. Lateral sides of prothorax, prosternum, mesosternum and lateral sides of metasternum with sculpture and pubescence as on lateral of pronotum (pubescence slightly longer, denser on metasternum); triangular central area of metasternum shiny, smooth, with sparse long setae. Scutellum with sparse, moderately long setae, mainly centrally. Elytra. Moderately finely and abundantly punctate; with moderately long setae throughout, interspersed with sparse, long setae; each elytron with one shallow carina, from near base to near apex; apex individually rounded.

Abdomen. Urosternites with long, sparse setae, denser on urosternite V. Legs. Femora and tibiae with long, sparse setae, longer and denser on tibiae.

Type material. Holotype male from BOLIVIA, Santa Cruz: 20 km N Camiri (Road to Eyti; 1250 m; 6-8 km E Highway 9; 19º52’S / 63º29’W), 5–10.XII.2012, Wappes, Bonaso, Skillman col. ( MNKM).

Dimensions in mm (male). Total length, 13.10; length of prothorax at center, 2.10; largest width of prothorax, 2.30; anterior width of prothorax, 1.60; posterior width of prothorax, 1.55; humeral width, 2.30; elytral length, 8.30.

Etymology. Allusive to the type locality; noun in apposition.
