Montina lobata Stål, 1859

( Fig. 13 )

Material examined. Montina lobata . 2 males. PERU, Satipo , X-1996, P. Sanchez, leg. [ MNRJ] .

Montina lobata was previously recorded from Brazil, Ecuador and Colombia ( Stål 1872; Maldonado Capriles 1990; Gil-Santana 2019; MejÍa-Soto et al. 2022). The pronotum is pale yellow, sometimes densely setose; the connexival margins are darkened, enlarged as rounded lobes, and commonly marked by a pale band at each posterior margin ( Fig. 13 ), allowing to identify this species. Additional characteristics were provided by MejÍa-Soto et al. (2022) and agree well with the specimens examined here.

Distribution. Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru (new record).
