Scutellum pubescent. Elytra. Finely, sparsely punctate on basal third, gradually more sparse toward apex; with coarse, slightly tuberculate, sparse punctures from which emerges long, erect seta (these punctures more abundant, irregularly distributed on basal quarter, sparser, aligned along suture and dorsal side); with long, sparse, erect setae along epipleura (shorter, toward apex); apex with long spine at outer angle, with short projection on sutural angle. Legs. Apices of profemora with rounded lobes; apices of meso- and metafemora with spine; femora with short, decumbent, sparse setae interspersed with long, erect, sparse setae.

Ventrites finely, sparsely punctate; with short, sparse setae interspersed with long, erect, sparse setae; ventrite V about as long as IV, truncate at apex.  Female. Differs from male mainly by the antennae shorter (1.7 times elytral length, reaching elytral apex at base of antennomere X), and by the ventrite V distinctly longer than IV, with apex slightly rounded.  Variation. Most of metathorax and abdomen dark-brown; tibiae reddish-brown only near apex; presence of erect setae on center of dorsal surface of elytra.  Dimensions (mm). Holotypemale/ paratypefemales.

The epithet is a Latin adjective referring to the native country ( Bolivia).   Remarks.  Stizocera boliviensis  sp. nov.differs from  S. phtisicaGounelle, 1909as follows: antennomere VI with distinct spine at apex ( Fig. 6); pedicel and basal antennomeres dark, distinctly contrasting with the color of the scape ( Fig. 4); pronotum with pubescence only on sides of basal constriction ( Fig. 4); basal 3/4 of tibiae blackish ( Figs. 1–3); tarsi dark ( Figs. 1–5). In  S. phtisicathe spine at apex of antennomere VI is tiny or absent ( Fig. 9), the color of the pedicel and basal antennomeres is not contrasting with that of the scape ( Fig. 7), the pronotum has distinct pubescence throughout (absent on some irregular areas) ( Fig. 7), and the tibiae and tarsi are entirely light ( Fig. 8). It differs from  S. poeyi(Guérin-Méneville, 1838)( Fig. 10) mainly by the elytral pale yellow macula less distinctly delimited and not surrounded by dark area (well delimited and surrounded by dark area in  S. poeyi), by the femora less clavate (more distinctly clavate in  S. poeyi), by the femoral peduncle light (darker, mainly on meso- and metafemora in  S. poeyi), and by the tibiae bicolorous (entirely dark in  S. poeyi).   Stizocera boliviensis  sp. nov.can be included in the alternative of couplet “3” from Martins (2005)(translated; modified): 3(2).
