Kramerana junina Zahniser, 2004 in Zahniser & Webb, 2004: 671–673 [original description, illustration, morphology]; Zanol, 2008: 45 [catalogue]; Zahniser & Dietrich, 2013: 7, 16–18, 85 [phylogeny, classification, DNA sequences]; Zahniser & Dietrich, 2015: 479, 482 [phylogeny, DNA sequences]; Zahniser, 2007 [online catalogue]; Freytag & Gaiani, 2017 [online catalogue]

Diagnosis. K. junina can be distinguished from other species of Kramerana by its size (male 3.0– 3.3 mm, female 3.7–4.1 mm), pygofer with distinct posteroventral tooth, subgenital plate relatively wider and more lobate in shape, style apophysis not surpassing apex of connective stem, aedeagus with broad base and with narrow shaft arising posterodorsally from base, aedeagus apex with short flanges arising laterally, gonopore subapical on anterior side, aedeagus posteroventral corner rounded and not distinctly angled or projecting, posteroventral margin of aedeagus smoothly rounded, ventral margin of aedeagus only slightly constricted caudad of anteroventral corner, shaft of aedeagus straight at base, beginning to bend anterad at midlength, and aedeagus apex flanges extending ventrad beyond normal curve of shaft in lateral view.

Material examined. 4♂, 4♀, 3n: PERU, Junín, 42km, NE La Oroya , 4,000 m, 11º24’18”S 75º50’31”W, 17-X- 2002 GoogleMaps , R.A. Rakitov, vacuum, 02-15. 6♂: PERU, Junín, 3 km W Curipata , 3800 m, 11º36’36”S 75º57’25”W, 17-X- 2002 GoogleMaps . 2♂, 1♀: PERU, Junín, 20 km NE La Oroya , 3600m, 11º30’9”S 75º56’28”, 17-X-2002 .

Distribution. K. junina is known from Peru (Junín Dept.) from high elevation (3800–4000 m) grasslands.

Remarks. K. junina is similar to K. hypera . See Remarks under K. hypera for distinguishing characteristics.
