Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature, checklists, faunal works, and natural history. Insecta Mundi will not consider works in the applied sciences (i.e. medical entomology, pest control research, etc.), and no longer publishes book reviews or editorials. Insecta Mundi pub- lishes original research or discoveries in an inexpensive and timely manner, distributing them free via open access on the internet on the date of publication. Insecta Mundi is referenced or abstracted by several sources including the Zoological Record, CAB Abstracts, etc. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manuscripts assigned an indi- vidual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality. One author of each submitted manuscript must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology. Manuscript preparation guidelines are availablr at the CSE website. Chief Editor: Paul E.

A new genus and species of Trachyderini (Trachyderina) is described from Peru: Viracocha limogesi. Key words. Ancylocerina, South America, Taxonomy; Trachyderina. Introduction According to Monné (2015) and Bezark (2015) Trachyderini Dupont, 1836 is divided in two subtribes: Ancylocerina Thomson, 1864 (with seven genera); and Trachyderina Dupont, 1836 (with one hundred twenty-five genera). Monné (2015) listed one hundred twenty-two genera of Trachyderina in the Neotro- pical Region. Despite the great number of genera of Trachyderina, it was not possible to include the new species in any of them. Fragoso et al. (1987) separated the subtribes in a key: “Mesocoxal acetabula laterally closed; elytral surface strongly punctate, epipleura sinuous; scutellum small, often depressed; males with the border of sternite 8 projected latero-ventrally beyond the limits of corresponding tergite (verified in Ancylocera and Callancyla)”, conducting to Ancylocerina; and “Mesocoxal acetabula usually open laterally; body, scutellum, antennae and elytral surface highly variable; borders of sternite 8 not laterally projected”, conducting to Trachyderina. The shape of the border of the sternite 8, apparently, is variable in Ancylocerina. For example, it is not projected in males of Cercoptera banonii Spinola, 1839. As all other features listed to Ancylocerina are variable in Trachyderina, except for the border of sternite 8, they cannot be used to separate the subtribes. It is not the scope of this work to study the subtribes, but if the mesocoxal acetabula are “usually” open in Trachyderina, it can be inferred that they can be closed in some species. Monné and Napp (2000) commented: “Fragoso et al. (1987) established Ancylocerina Thomson (1864) as a subtribe of Trachyderini Dupont, basically by the shape of the brush on the eighth urosternite of the females, formed, as in the Trachyderina, by long-petiolate conchoidal, spatulate and acicular setae, arranged in several rows.” Monné and Napp (2000) did not describe sternite 8 in males of Ancylocerina, and did not give differences between the subtribes. We are assuming that all genera with mesocoxal cavities laterally closed belong to Ancylocerina and those that are open belong to Trachyderina. The new genus herein described belongs to the latter.

Viracocha gen. nov. Type species. Viracocha limogesi sp. nov. Description. Body elongate. Head prognathous, about as long as wide (excluding mandibles); distinctly elongate behind eyes. Frons vertical, transverse, moderately large. Antennal tubercles prominent, acumi- nate towards apex; inner side divergent towards eye. Eyes proportionally small; lower eye lobes much wider than upper eye lobes; linkage between lobes little narrower than upper eye lobe; upper eye lobes well-separated on vertex. Apex of genae projected forward, moderately rounded. Mandibles in males longer than two-thirds of head length; from base to apex curved upward; inner margin pluridentate in large males, vaguely dentate in small males and females; apex acute, obliquely curved inward. Mandibles in females as in male, but little longer than half head length; inner margin as in small males. Maxillary palpomere IV distinctly longer than III, but shorter than II+III. Submentum punctate, slightly depressed, moderately well-delimited. Antennae in male filiform, 12-segmented, longer than 1.5 times body length; outer apex of antennomeres III–XI projected; dorsal surface of antennomeres III–VII longitudinally sul- cate; antennomere III almost twice length of scape. Antennae in female serrate, 11-segmented, shorter than body; antennomeres III–VI dorsally longitudinally sulcate. Prothorax elongate, sub-cylindrical; without lateral tubercles. Pronotum centrally without sexual punctation, without tubercles; lateral sides in male with moderately coarse, abundant punctures, inter- spersed with minute, dense punctures. Prosternum with sexual punctation in male, formed by moder- ately fine, abundant punctures on basal three-fourths,
