Diagnosis.

Incasarcus can be differentiated from other Metasarcidae genera by the combination of following: alpha-type DSS; males with a proapical spine on the pedipalpus femur; area I undivided; male femur IV at least 1.6 longer than dorsal scutum; ocularium with two low tubercles or spines; area III with spines; coxa IV apex reaching area IV or posterior margins of DS; penis with less than 10 MS C and stylus thin thickness.

Redescription.

Alpha-type DSS. Ocularium low, medially depressed. Ocularium with two low tubercles or tall spines. Areas of dorsal scutum moderately to densely tuberculate. Area I undivided. Area III armed with two tall spines (most species), a pair of short spines ( I. argenteus ), or unarmed ( I. ochoai ). Posterior margin unarmed. Coxa IV reaching area IV or posterior margin. Coxa IV unarmed (Fig. 4B-F View Figure 4 ). Femur IV much longer than dorsal scutum length (Fig. 9 View Figure 9 ). Less than 10 macrosetae C. Penis stylus thin. Penial ventral plate thickness thin (Figs 13E-I View Figure 13 , 18D-I View Figure 18 ).

Distribution.

(Fig. 30 View Figure 30 ) PERU. Cusco.
