( FIGS 43C View Figure 43 , 44C View Figure 44 , 45I–L View Figure 45 , 47 View Figure 47 )

Diagnosis

Highly setose species, with long erect setae on anterior and posterior pronotal lobes. Hemelytra with the corial margin smooth; clavus unicolorous, without a large subapical corial spot. Male protibia without spines.

Description ( Fig. 43C View Figure 43 )

Holotype: ♂. Total length 6.84. Strongly setose.

Head: Brown, shiny, coriaceous, with abundant short recumbent, semi-erect, and erect setae. Eyes with many long setae between ommatidea. Head length 1.39, width 1.09, postocular length 0.41. Ocelli at level of an imaginary line passing the posterior border of eyes. Interocular width 0.51, interocellar width 0.27. Labium pale brown, with long erect setae; extending to mesocoxae. Labial segment lengths: I 0.72, II 0.82, III 0.64, and IV 0.45. Antennal tubercles slightly divergent. Antennae with abundant semi-erect and erect setae; pedicel with erect setae, equal or longer than diameter of segment; antenna pale brown, distiflagellomere without a pale band. Antennal lengths: scape 0.59, pedicel 1.36, basiflagellomere 1.18, and distiflagellomere 1.39.

Thorax: Anterior and posterior pronotal lobes with short and long erect setae. Anterior pronotal lobe brown; posterior pronotal lobe pale brown, with paler areas and with humeral angles pale. Maximum width of anterior pronotal lobe behind middle. Collar length 0.11, anterior lobe length 0.75, posterior lobe length 0.53; anterior lobe width 0.96, posterior lobe width 1.46. Pleurae brown, with short recumbent setae. Scutellum brown, punctate, with setae as on anterior lobe of pronotum. Hemelytra with abundant short erect setae; general colour pale brown, except anterior threequarters of corial margins and a small subapical corial spot paler, clavus unicolorous ( Fig. 43C View Figure 43 ). Corial margin smooth. Membrane pale brown, veins concolorous. Legs: Coxae yellowish brown, profemur except base, onethird of meso- and metafemur, apex of tibiae, tarsus, and pretarsus brown, rest of legs pale brown ( Fig. 44C View Figure 44 ); legs setose, with abundant long erect setae. Protibiae without spines.

Abdomen: Brown, with abundant short recumbent setae. Male genitalia: Pygophore ( Fig. 45I, J View Figure 45 ) rounded; anterior margin of dorsal aperture rounded; inner projections subquadrangular, with an anterior digitiform projection. Parameres: Figure 45 View Figure 45 (K, L). Aedeagus: unspined, vesica with two lobes weakly sclerotized laterally, ejaculatory ductus thickened before coil; processus gonopori broadened towards apex.

Distribution

Bolivia and Brazil ( Fig. 47 View Figure 47 ).

Etymology

The specific epithet ‘ muticus ’ is an adjective referring to the lack of spines on the protibiae.
