Kodormus oscurus Maldonado & Berénger, 1996 in Bérenger and Maldonado 1996: 35-37, figs 1-7 [description]; Forero 2004: 166 [citation].

Notes.

Kodormus oscurus was described based on 10 males collected in Bolivia ( Bérenger and Maldonado 1996).

Type material examined.

Bolivia: Ixiamas, Beni, oct. 1993, 270 m, Bleuzen leg., 1 male paratype; Pucara, Beni, oct. 1993, 750 m, Bleuzen leg., 1 male paratype (J-MB).

Diagnosis.

Kodormus oscurus is separated by its general coloration, which is generally dark brown, while in the other species of Kodormus , it is generally brownish. Kodormus oscurus seems closer to K. bruneosus , based on the denticulate latero-distal angles of connexival segments II-VI, but in the latter species these angles are less prominent.

Description.

Male. Figs 105-110 . Total length: 19.5-25 mm. Coloration (Fig. 105 ): Generally dark brownish; hemelytra and sternites reddish brown, slightly paler than dark brownish portions. Structure and vestiture (Fig. 105 ): Postocular region of the head with two ramose setigerous processes posterolaterally at each side, very close to each other, the most posterior one slightly above of the other. Setigerous tubercles on serial line of postocular region of head very numerous, pale and conspicuous; those on the lateral margins of fore lobe of pronotum forming an irregular row, most of them pale. Tubercles on disc of fore lobe flat, rounded. Humeral angle short, spiniform. Process of scutellum short. Membrane of hemelytra varying from not reaching to reaching apex of abdomen. Fore tarsus three-segmented. Lateroapical margins of connexivum conspicuously prominent; those on segments IV and V are apically curved downward in some individuals. Male genitalia (Figs 106-110 ): medial process of pygophore enlarged; triangular in anterior view (Fig. 108 ).

Distribution.

Bolivia ( Bérenger and Maldonado 1996).
