( Figs. 18 View FIGURES 17 − 20 , 31−33 View FIGURES 31 − 33 )

Comments and Diagnosis. Lophopedia buchwaldi can be distinguished from the remaining species by the narrowly rounded omaulus ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 31 − 33 ), almost carinate, and frons with dense minute punctures intermingled with coarse punctures on disc ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 31 − 33 ). The omaulus of Lophopedia buchwaldi differs from the carina of L. pygmaea by the angle very weak and short, occupying less than one third of the upper portion of mesepisternum, and the mandible of the female has only one preapical tooth. This species is only known from the two females of the type series. Lophopedia buchwaldi is probably closely related to L. apicalis , L. minor , and L. paraensis , judging by the sparsely punctured mesepisternum.

Distribution: Western ECUADOR ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 17 − 20 ).
