Hexanchorus leleupi Delève, 1968: 214.

Type locality.

Ecuador, [Napo Province], Papallacta, 3.300m a.s.l.

Material examined.

Type material: Holotype ♂ (RBINS) “♂” // “Holotype” [red] // " Ecuador Papallacta III-1965. N. Leleup " // "Ruisseau torrentueux 3.300 m " // " R. I. Sc. N. B. I. G. 23.948" // " J. Delève det., 1966 Hexanchorus leleupi n.sp." // " Rumilara leleupi ( Delève, 1968)" [appended].

Condition.

Generally, in good condition, except for following parts of legs that are missing: last segment of right protarsus, last two segments of left protarsus, left midleg (only coxa and trochanter present), and last two segments of left metatarsus.

Adult diagnosis.

The species can be distinguished by a combination of following characters: 1) head and clypeus fully clothed by pubescence; 2) femora fully pubescent; 3) elytra with dense pubescence arranged in stripes; 4) aedeagus without rod-like sclerite; 5) parameres strongly asymmetrical.

Adult diagnostic redescription.

Male. Colour: Body (Figs 2e View Figure 2 , 3e View Figure 3 ) black, tarsal claws pale brown with reddish tincture. Pubescence: Head and clypeus fully clothed with short, prone pubescence, most densely set behind eyes. Pronotum (Fig. 6e View Figure 6 ) covered by a short, moderately dense, prone pubescence. Elytra with short, recumbent pubescence, most densely arranged in stripes along intervals, and with numerous moderately long, curved, semi-erect, hair-like setae. Femora, pro- and metatibiae densely covered with moderately long, recumbent, hair-like setae; mesotibiae without pubescence. Metaventrite readily clothed with short, prone pubescence. Surface: Head, clypeus and pronotum sparsely microreticulate, concealed by pubescence. Elytra with rows of punctures deeply impressed; third interval slightly elevated in anterior 1/5; intervals 2-4 depressed from anterior 1/5 to 2/5 in lateral view. Prosternal process (Fig. 7e View Figure 7 ) subparallel between procoxae, then subtriangular with rounded apex. Aedeagus (Figs 15a-c View Figure 15 ) without long, dorsal, rod-like sclerite on penis; parameres asymmetrical, left one distinctly longer. - Female unknown.

Measurements.

♂ - CL: 3.28 mm; PL: 0.92 mm; PW: 0.95 mm; EL: 2.36 mm; EW: 1.37 mm.

Larva

unknown.

Distribution.

So far known only from the type locality in Napo Province.

Remarks.

Delève (1968) very likely interpreted distinctly shorter left paramere as broken and illustrated it with the same length as the right one. There are no signs of artificial ending of the left paramere, and even their shapes are dissimilar.
