Labasiella boyaca OPITZ nov.sp. ( Figs 20 View Figs 1-27 , 46 View Figs 44-56 , 71 View Fig 71 , 76 View Figs 72-80 , 99 View Figs 97-102 )
Holotype: ♂. Colombia: Boyaca, SFF Iguaque, Qda. Los Mudos , Malaise , 22-I-8-II-2003, P. Reina ( FSCA). Paratypes: 3 specimens. Colombia: Departamento de Boyacả, SFF Iguaque, Cabaña Mamarramos, 5°25'N 73°27'W, 23-V-2000, P. Reina (WOPC, 1); Departamento de Cundinamarca, Bogotả, Chico, 2-I-1959, J. F. G. Clarke ( USNM, 1). Venezuela: Estado de Merida, Tabay La Mucuy , Send. Lag. Suero, 17-VI-31-VII-1989, Malaise trap, S. & J. Peck ( CMNC, 1) .
Diagnosis: The members of this species superficially resemble those of L. cochabamba , but in L. boyaca specimens the elytral punctures do not extend to the elytral apex.
Description: Size: Length 5.0 mm; width 1.7 mm. Form: As in Fig. 76 View Figs 72-80 . Integument: Cranium and thorax dark castaneous; antenna brown; mouthparts mostly testaceous, terminal maxillary and labial palpomeres and mandibles brown; legs mostly brown, proximal region of prothoracic femur testaceous, distal region of profemur, remaining femora and all tibiae brown, tarsi testaceous; pterothorax brown; elytra mostly castaneous, with posthumeral and postmedial angular fasciae. Head: Cranium coarsely punctate, antennal funicular antennomeres subfiliform ( Fig. 20 View Figs 1-27 ), capitulum lax, antennomeres 9 and 10 triangular, antennomere 11 suboval; eyes small, frons wide (EW/FW 14/35); last maxillary and labial palpomere subsecuriform ( Fig. 54B View Figs 44-56 ). Thorax: Pronotum ( Fig. 46 View Figs 44-56 ) with angular tubercle at sides, disc coarsely punctate, with 7 small knobs; elytral asetiferous punctures substriate, punctures end at posterior 3/4 th, epipleural margin not serrate near elytral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus ( Fig. 99 View Figs 97-102 ), distal region of phallobase slightly lobed, tegmen very reduced, submembranous, phallobasic struts confluent with phallobasic apodeme, phallobasic rod long; phallic plates broad, phallic apex large triangular.
Variation: Size: Length 4.0-5.0 mm; width 1.5-1.7 mm. The paratype has a testaceous elytral apex.
Distribution ( Fig. 71 View Fig 71 ): This species is known from Colombia and Venezuela.
Etymology: The trivial name, boyaca, constitutes a noun in apposition and refers to the type locality.
