Lectotype : . Pérou ( Peru ), Terapoto, Mai a Aout, 1886, M. de Mathan (MNHN). It is not certain how many specimens were available to Pic for his description. Therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype for this nominal species. D i a g n o s i s: Within Muisca , only in specimens of this species is there a triangular black mark on the elytra near the mesoscutellum. Fig. 92 : Proposed phylogeny of Muisca species groups. R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 6.5 mm ; width 2.7 mm . Form: As in Fig. 153 . Color: Light castaneous, except cranium and pronotum blue-black; elytral disc bicolorous, mostly light castaneous, with a black triangular marking surrounding the mesoscutellum. Head: Funicular antennomeres subfiliform, 7 th antennomere slightly expanded laterally, capitular antennomeres 9 and 10 triangular ( Fig. 43 ), antennomere 11 obovate; frons narrower than width of eye (EW/FW 30/25). Thorax: Pronotum (Fig. 75) oblong (PW/PL 98/115), pronotal tubercle small, angular and positioned posterior to pronotal middle, disc coarsely punctate, elytral asetiferous punctation striate, punctures extend to elytral apical 3/4 th (EL/EW 135/45). Abdomen: Pygidium scutiform; posterior margin of 6 th visible sternite not concave at middle; aedeagus, phallic apex as in Fig. 121 V a r i a t i o n: Size: Length 4.5-7.0 mm; width 1.8-2.4 mm . Other than size, the available specimens are quite homogeneous N a t u r a l h i s t o r y: Specimens was collected during February, March, and July; at altitudes ranging from 1535 to 2220 m . D i s t r i b u t i o n ( Fig. 97 ): In addition to the lectotype , I examined 35 specimens : Bolivia : Departamento de Santa Cruz , Florida , 4 km N Bermejo , Refugio Los Volcanes , 63°36'W 18°06'S , 6-8-XII-2015 , 1000-1200 m , Skillman , Wappes , & Kuckartz ; 3.7 km SSE Buena Vista.
