Lectotype female. Bolivia (SDEI). Designated by Gaedike (1971: 89). Examined.

Material examined. BRAZIL. Rondônia: ♀ 62 km SW Ariquemes, nr. Fzda Rancho Grande, 3–15–XII–1996, JE Eger, Black Light Trap (JEE); PERU. Huánuco: ♂ Monson Valley, Tingo Maria, X–12–1954, E. I. Schinger & E. S. Ross collectors (CAS); same data: ♀ XI–3–1954 (USNM); ♂ Tingo Maria, Rio Huallaga, 670m, II–47 (USNM); BOLIVIA. La Paz: ♀ Yungas de La Paz, 1000 m, Edessa infulata Breddin, 1904 . Fernandes, J. A. M. 1999, COMP. SYNTYPE, Edessa infulata Breddin, 1904 . Comp. w. Type. Fernandes, JAM 1999 (IRSB).

Measurements. total length: 16.3–16.9; head length: 2.1–2.3; head width: 3.1–3.3; pronotal width: 10.2–10.8; abdominal width: 8.7–9.0; length of antennal segments. I: 0.7–0.8; II: 1.9–2.1; III: 1.2–1.3; IV: 4.0–4.2; V: 5.0; interocular distance: 1.4–1.7; scutellum length: 7.8–7.9; scutellum width: 5.7–5.8; pronotal length: 3.4–3.7.

Diagnosis. Anterolateral margin of pronotum without solid black stripe. Pronotum with a transversal solid black stripe covering almost entire posterior margin (Fig. 20C); posterolateral angle developed laterally, slightly short- er than interocular distance. Connexivum completely green (Fig. 20C). Anterolateral margin of pronotum gently curved and punctured. Anterior margin of scutellum concolorous (Fig. 20C). Black spot of costal margin reaching approximately 1/3 of corial extension. Dorsal surface of abdomen yellow or green with brown longitudinal stripe mesially. Ventrally apex of pseudosutures without rounded dark spots (Fig. 20D). Male (Fig. 14 A–C). Pygophore with dorsal rim concave (Fig. 14A). Paramere with anterior lobe very short and truncate; posterior lobe short and acuminate (Fig. 14B). Proctiger with moderately separated tufts of setae, compared with widely separated tufts of setae in H. oxyacanthus; posterior face ogival and flat (Fig. 14B). Ventral rim with expansions little developed, flat, and acuminate (Fig. 14C). Female (Fig. 14D). Gonocoxites 8 posterior margin straight; sutural border contiguous; inner angle not developed. Gonocoxites 9 slightly convex; margin rounded. Laterotergites 9 barely surpassing sclerite uniting laterotergites 8.

Comments. Like in H. oxyacanthus the complement of E. infulata description was published ahead of the original description of the species (Breddin 1904a, 1904b, 14 June and 1 July, respectively). In both publications Breddin considered the species related to E. quadridens . Hypoxys infulatus is easily separable by projected humeral angles and connexivum uniformly green, without dark spots on segments III–VI (short humeral angles and connexivum spotted in H. quadriden s). The male is described here for the first time.
