macrosetae before apex dorsally and a single setae near middle of postero- 
ventral margin; aedeagus slightly broadened anteapically in lateral view, with 
a pair of asymmetrical processes arising at base of shaft, each extending dor- 
sally as far as apex of shaft and acute apically. Anal tube with a slight con- 
vexity on ventral surface in apical half. Female unknown. 
Color of head dull yellow with an oval black spot extending mesad from 
each posteromesal eye angle; pronotum fuscous with a median dull yellow in- 
verted anchor-shaped spot; scutellum black with apex dull yellow; forewings 
uniform purple from base to anteapical cells, with a translucent white area in 
base of inner apical cell and adjoining anteapical cell and two contiguous 
similar white areas, one in outer anteapical cell and one in costal area, with 
anteapical transverse area fumose; face yellow, with a vertical black area ex- 
tending ventrally from each eye over gena and lorum onto clypellus, with a 
black area on proepimeron beneath dorsopleural carina, mesothoracic anepi- 
sternum, apices of all tibiae, and all tarsi smoky, remainder of pleura, venter, 
and legs yellow. 
Holotype male, Pachitea, Peru (MMB). The pin bears a manuscript name 
presumably attached by Melichar. Female unknown. 
Laruma achitepa, n. sp., is similar to Z. decolorata, n. sp., from which it dif- 
fers in the shape of the aedeagal shaft and aedeagal processes, in the darker 
pronotum and scutellum, and in the uniformly purple anterior portions of the 
forewings.

Length of female 12.2-13.5 mm. Head with median length of crown vary- 
ing from slightly less than six-tenths to approximately two-thirds interocular 
width and from slightly more than one-third to more than four-tenths trans- 
ocular width, antennal ledges slightly-protuberant in dorsal view, in lateral 
view with anterior margins rectilinear. Pronotum with posterior margin slight- 
ly concave; forewing with four or five apical cells and in some specimens with 
one or a few supernumerary anteapical cells. Male unknown. Female ab- 
dominal sternum VII gradually narrowed in apical one-fourth to acute apex. 
Color of head dull yellow except a narrow black area behind each eye, pro- 
notum yellow with four black spots in a transverse row across disk and a dark — 
area behind each eye; scutellum yellow with a transverse dark basal band giv- 
ing off a narrow median posterior branch which is broadened at its apex in 
middle of scutellum; forewings colored as in 2. achitepa, n. sp., except that 
anteapical translucent area forms a transverse band of variable width and in- 
cludes a few variable fuscous markings; face as in achitepa, with or without a 
black area on proepimeron beneath dorsopleural carina, mesothoracic epi- 
sternum fumose, apices of all tibiae and all of tarsi smoky, remainder of legs and 
thoracic venter yellow; discal portion of female abdominal sternum VII, and oc- 
casionally all or part of remainder of abdominal venter, dark.
