Peckia cubensis Dodge, 1965a: 488 View in CoL . Cuba, Habana, Lomas de Camoa. Holotype male, in WSU (not examined).

Description. Male. Head. Ocellar setae equal to or shorter than postoculars. Outer vertical seta stronger than postoculars. Black orbital setae. Three frontal setae situated below the dorsal limit of the lunule. Genal setae black anteriorly, yellow or white posteriorly. First row of occipital setae black, others yellow. Thorax. Chaetotaxy: acrostichals = 0 + 1, dorsocentrals = 0 + 3 (anterior one shorter), intra-alars = 1 + 2 (anterior one shorter), supraalars = 2 + 3, basal scutellars = 4. Prosternum and posterior surface of hind coxa with black setae. Three katepisternal setae. Postalar wall with only black setae. Lower calypter with a central dark spot and a fringe of long hair-like setae along outer margin, extending almost to its posterior margin. Mid femur with a ctenidium. Hind femur with a row of antero-ventral and a row of postero-ventral setae. Antero-dorsal surface of mid tibia with 2 median and 1 apical seta. Hind tibia antero-dorsally with 1 seta in the basal third, 1 in the middle third and 1 preapical. Abdomen. Postero-ventral seams between T3/T4 and T4/T5 parallel. Microtrichosity of the abdomen laterally grey. ST1+3 with only black hair-like setae. Two lateral setae on each side of T4. T5 with grey microtrichosity. Terminalia. ST5 orange. Medial margin of ST5 ∩-shaped. Inner margins of ST5 arms straight, with acute apophyses anteriorly. Posterior region of ST5 arms flat. Syntergosternite 7+8 longer than high in lateral view, orange, with golden microtrichosity. Epandrium bright orange. Cercus orange proximally and brown or dark brown distally. Cercal base with a pair of rounded projections. Cercus with a large and very abrupt dorsal, subapical protuberance with distal part a gradual continuation of proximal part in lateral view, equipped with short, robust spines with the true (ventral) apex smooth without spines. Surstylus orange, finger-shaped with anterior margin slightly projected towards the anterior body region, with a rounded apex. Postero-distal surface of surstylus as sclerotized as the rest of surstylus. Pregonite tongue-shaped, curved in lateral view, with the apical inner corner elongated and ending in a wide rounded lobe positioned anteriorly respect to the outer corner. Postgonite elongated, with a hooked apex. Proximal section of the phallic tube not very elongated, with the vesica at mid length of the phallic tube and the apical opening directed to the anterior body region. Juxta without demarcated connection with the phallic tube. Juxta sclerotized and composed of one long plate without juxtal lateral plate and juxtal horns. Juxta with the lateral edges folded ventrally, resembling a tube, with a dorsal protuberance near apex. Distiphallus with a pair of lateral styli separated, each with a longitudinal cleft. Short vesica composed of one entire plate without demarcated connection with the distiphallus.

Distribution. NEOTROPICAL— Bahamas (New Providence), Cuba.
