Hypoxys ocanensis sp. n.

(Figures: 5, 11C–D, 12)

Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the municipality of Ocaña ( Colombia, Department Santander) where the type material was collected.

Holotype. COLOMBIA. Department Santander: 1 ♀ Ocaña , PL VII.2014 MNHN ( EH) 25135 ( MNHN).

Measurements. Total length 15.6; total width 8.3; head length 2.1; head width 3.1; interocular distance: 1.8; length of antennomeres I: 0.9; II: 1.4; III: 1.0; IV: 2.6; V: 3.4; pronotum length 2.6; pronotum width 9.0; scutellum length 7.2; scutellum width 5.5.

Diagnosis. Third antennomer smaller than the second (I<III<II<IV<V). Anterolateral margin of pronotum not punctured ( Fig. 11C ). Posterior part of pronotum with black punctures ( Fig. 11C ). Scutellum with black punctures anteriorly ( Fig. 11C ). Metasternal process with arms of anterior bifurcation robust and receiving 1/2 of third rostral segment ( Fig. 11D ). Connexivum flat ( Fig. 11C ). Pseudosutures without adjacent dark green spot ( Fig. 11D ). Female genitalia ( Fig. 5 ). Valvifers VIII with distal margin sloping (red arrow) and slightly arched; outer angle acuminated and carinated, this carina also swollen along mediolateral crest (black arrow); mesial borders shallowly excavated. Valvulae IX not exposed. Male genitalia. Unknown.

Distribution ( Fig. 12 ). COLOMBIA: Department Santander.

Comments. This species is the only one in H. triangularis group that has black punctures on pronotum. Hypoxys ocanensis sp. n. and H. curvatus sp. n. share the distal margin of each valvifer VIII with a distal spine. The H. ocanensis sp. n. can be separated by valvifers VIII carinate (in H. curvatus sp. n. valvifers VIII never carinate).
