with muscle impressions distinct (as a result of dark color), clypellus with 
profile of its lower portion more nearly horizontal than contour of remainder 
of face. Thorax with dorsopleural carina incomplete, scutellum obscurely 
transversely striate behind transverse sulcus; forewing with membrane con- 
sisting only of inner apical cell; hindleg with length of first tarsomere approx- 
imately equal to combined length of two more distal tarsomeres. Male pygofer 
obliquely truncate apically, with a few macrosetae near posterodorsal angle; 
aedeagal shaft expanded laterally anteapically in caudal view, more distal por- 
tion narrowed; paraphyses very lightly sclerotized, broadest before apex, rami 
very short. Female abdominal sternum VII narrowed in apical third, with a 
narrow apical emargination; pygofer lobe with few macrosetae near its 
posterior margin. 
Crown and anterior portion of pronotum pale green (dull yellow in older 
specimens), crown with a median apical spot and muscle impressions black, 
in some specimens with a pair of small black spots near middle of posterior 
margin of head; pronotum with a group of variable black markings on green 
portion near anterior margin, remainder orange to tan, occasionally with a 
dark line across middle; scutellum orange to tan with a pair of broad black 
spots on anterior margin; forewing with longitudinal veins and veins forming 
bases of anteapical cells broadly yellow, intervening areas dark brown to 
(more rarely) black, with a broad transverse black stripe through anteapical 
cells, bounded posteriorly by a broad orange transverse stripe, apical wing 
margin broadly fumose; face green with dark muscle impressions on clypeus 
and apex of clypellus and a narrow margin along genae, black; thoracic 
pleura and venter yellow marked with black; abdominal sterna black basally, 
pale apically, female sternum VII pale with black in laterobasal angles and 
apical third, remainder pale, legs pale, variably marked with darker. 
Holotype male, Chanchamayo, Peru, July 25, 1960 (Salazar and Ramirez); 
five males, same locality: one July 25 (Young and Ramirez), two July 25 
(Young and Salazar), and two July 22, 1960 (C. Ramirez); six males, same 
locality: four July 25, 1960 (Young and Ramirez), two, same date (Salazar 
and Ramirez); three females same locality, July 22, 1960 (C. Ramirez) 
(NCS). Five males, Pozuzo [Peru] (Schaufuss); one male, Callanga, Peru; one 
male, Coroico, Bolivia (MMB). Two females, Coroico, Bolivia (OSU). Two 
males, Vilcanota, Peru; one male, Bolivia (HNHM). Three males, Bolivia 
1898 (Noualhier) (MHNP). One male, 2 mi. west of San Ramén, Junin, 
Province, Peru, 900 m., January 5, 1955 (E. I. Schlinger and E. S. Ross). 
Holotype on indefinite loan to USNM. 
Stehlikiana erratilis, n. sp., is very similar to S. latercula (Breddin), from which 
it may be separated by the form of the aedeagal shaft in caudal view. The 
shaft is not as abruptly broadened anteapically in /atercula as in erratilis. The 
male genital structures not illustrated for erratilis are as in the illustrations of 
latercula (fig. 25 c-f).
