Polauchenia marcapata Wygodzinsky 1966

Description

Polauchenia cf. marcapata Wygodzinsky, 1966

The genus Polauchenia McAtee & Malloch, 1925, includes five species (Maldonado 1990). The only examined specimen (Fig. 21) is very close to P. marcapata, but the humeral angles of the pronotum are pointed rather than blunt, and the color pattern of the hemelytra is less marked than in P. marcapata. Since the specimen is in not in a very good condition, additional ones are needed to reaffirm the identification. P. marcapata is known only from the Amazon basin in Peru and Bolivia (Wygodzinsky 1966). The species listed here and P. protentor (see below) are the first generic record from Colombia.

Material examined: COLOMBIA, 1Ψ, [Cundinamarca], Tena [04º39’N­ 74º2’W, 1380 m], 24­X­1974, C. Vargas / maleza [UNAB].
