peruviana Hood, 1937

(Figs 37, 103, 139, 164)

Described from a few females in Peru, this dark brown species has been collected from grasses at Piracicaba (Monteiro 1999) and a short series from Mato Grosso is deposited at Natural History Museum, London. The pedicel on antennal segment III is slightly swollen apically, but the disc is not as sharp-edged as that of caseariae, and ocellar setae pair III are placed slightly further forward. The few specimens available for study of these two species could equally well be interpreted as representing variation within a single species.
