Comments and Diagnosis. Lophopedia nigriceps can be distinguished from L. flava by the mesoscutum dark brown; frons usually dark brown; integumental sculptures of frons composed only of dense coarse punctures on male, and coarse punctures intermingled with finely minute on female; disc of scutellum with dense and long pubescence on disc, longer than the mesoscutum; scutellum profile abruptly declivous. The male of L. nigriceps present the marginal bands on terga pale yellow and occupies less than third of margin laterally on T4, while on L. savanicola sp.nov. the marginal bands on terga are reddish brown, almost black, and occupies more than third of margin laterally on T4. The male genitalia of L. nigriceps is identical to L. haeckeli.
Distribution: BOLIVIA (Fig. 19).
