( Fig. 54 ) (figs. 18–20 in Dodge 1965b)

Peckia (Euboettcheria) buethni Dodge, 1965b: 509 . Jamaica, Papine. Holotype male, in BMNH (examined).

Description. Male. Head. Ocellar setae longer than postoculars. Outer vertical seta not differentiated from postoculars. Black orbital setae. Three frontal setae situated below the dorsal limit of the lunule. Genal setae black dorsally, yellow or white ventrally. First two rows of occipital setae black, others yellow. Thorax. Chaetotaxy: acrostichals = 0 + 1, dorsocentrals = 0 + 3 (anterior one shorter), intra-alars = 2 + 2 (anterior one shorter), supraalars = 2 + 3, basal scutellars = 4. Prosternum and posterior surface of hind coxa with black setae. Three katepisternal setae. Postalar wall only with black bristles. Lower calypter with a central dark spot and a fringe of long hair-like setae along outer margin, extending almost to its posterior margin. Mid femur with a ctenidium. Antero-dorsal surface of mid tibia with 1 median and 1 apical seta. Hind femur with a row of antero-ventral and a row of postero-ventral setae. Hind tibia antero-dorsally with 1 seta in the basal third, 1 in the middle third and 1 preapical. Abdomen. Postero-ventral seams between T3/T4 and T4/T5 parallel. Microtrichosity of the abdomen laterally grey. ST1+3 only with black hair-like setae. Three lateral setae on each side of T4. T5 with grey microtrichosity. Terminalia. ST5 orange. Medial margin of ST5 ∩-shaped. Inner margins of ST5 arms with few setae. Syntergosternite 7+8 orange, longer than high in lateral view. Epandrium bright orange. Cercus orange proximally and brown or dark brown distally. Cercal base with enlarged and rounded lobes, with very narrowed arms in dorsal view. Cercal thickness in lateral view becoming progressively reduced towards the acute apex, with dorsal margin curved. Cercus with strong setae on dorsal surface, distributed on the midlength. Surstylus orange, shorter than 2/3 of cercus, finger-shaped with anterior margin slightly projected towards the anterior body region, with a rounded apex. Pregonite tongue-shaped, curved in lateral view, narrow, with a lateral projection, with a rounded apex. Postgonite elongated, with a hooked apex. Basi- and distiphallus connected by a desclerotized strip. Juxta without demarcated connection with the phallic tube. Juxta sclerotized and composed of one long plate without juxtal lateral plate and juxtal horns. Juxta with the lateral edges folded ventrally, resembling a tube narrowed towards the apex. Juxta with a fin-shaped or blade-shaped crest subapically. Distiphallus with a pair of lateral styli separated, each with a longitudinal cleft. Short vesica composed of one entire plate without demarcated connection with the distiphallus.

Distribution. NEOTROPICAL— Jamaica.

Material examined. Jamaica: 1 male ( Peckia buethni Dodge, 1965 , holotype), Papine, W. Buthn ( BMNH) .
