Paulipalpina consuelo View in CoL , new species
Paulipalpina simoni View in CoL ; Salgado, 2014: 16 [and Figs. 14–15 View FIGURES 4–16 ] (misidentification, here—see Notes under P. simoni View in CoL , above).
Holotype, male ( FMNH, not examined, assignment made to the specimen illustrated in Salgado, 2014: Figs. 14–15 View FIGURES 4–16 ; data taken from Salgado, 2014: 16). Type locality and data: Peru: Cuzco Department: Consuelo , Manu road km 165, 1-X-1982, rotten palm, L.E. Watrous & G. Mazurek leg . Paratypes (from Salgado , 2014: 16): 1 female with same data as holotype; same place as holotype, 5-X-1982, 1 male and 1 female, rotten palm fruit, L.E. Watrous & G. Mazurek leg. Note: specimens misidentified as Paulipalpina simoni ( Portevin, 1923) in Salgado (2014: 16) —see Notes under P. simoni , above).
Short Description (based on figures in Salgado, 2014 —see complete description there). Right lobe of the aedeagus slightly longer and much wider than left lobe. Right lobe pointy, with apex enlarged, slightly curved and shortly projected ventrad, in lateral view; as an upside-down trapezoid with apical margin emarginated, in frontal view. Dorsal opening of the aedeagus round and taking about 1/10 of aedeagus length. Flagellum shorter (about 3/ 4 in length) than aedeagus.
Female spermatheca not illustrated but described in Salgado (2014: 16) as being very similar to his Fig. 24 View FIGURES 17–25 in Salgado (2005 — for ‘ P. claudicans ’—see Taxonomic Note 3 under that species), bearing 5 to 7-turns and having a very reduced apical bulb.
Etymology. The name is given as a noun in apposition, referring to the type locality.
Distribution. Peru: Cuzco Department: known only from type locality.
Taxonomic Remarks. In lateral view, the tip of the aedeagus of P. consuelo sp. n. resembles that of P. coatepec sp. n., from Mexico, and, slightly, that of P. claudicans (Szymczakowski, 1980) , from Brazil. However, in frontal view, it markedly differs from that of the remaining species described so far in the genus.
