[September-December 
First gastric tergite: smooth and shining with faint micro-reti- 
culation, especially on postpetiole, and some sparse, shallow, 
medium-sized punctures emitting well spaced setae. Second gas- 
tric tergite: shining with well developed micro-reticulation and 
some moderately numerous, large but very shallow punctures 
emitting well spaced setae. Succeeding tergites: 3 similar to 2; 
4 and following with progressively smaller, more numerous punc- 
tures and denser, largely overlapping setae. 
Male: unknown. 
Types: The unique holotype will be deposited in the Florida 
State Collection of Arthropods, Florida Department of Agri- 
culture and Consumer Services, Gainesville, Florida. 
Habitat Notes: The type locality is a patch of subtropical 
wet forest on an ecotone between the Chaco Humedo and Selva 
Amazonica biotic provinces, which interdigitate near Santa Cruz, 
Bolivia where the drainage systems of the Parana and Amazon 
Rivers come into close contact. This is a semi-evergreen plant 
community that dries out markedly during the winter months of 
July and August but which mainly is composed of hygrophile 
species, such as palms, cecropias, and giant-leaved epiphytic 
philodendrons. 
Specific Name: For Ing. Oscar Teran of the Comision Na- 
tional del Estudio de la Cana y del Azucar, who made possible 
the Malaise trap survey at General Saavedra.
