Anisopodus prolixus

Anisopodus prolixus (Erichson, 1847) (Figs. 13a–b; 14a–b) Material Examined (2). [Female]. Rio Napo Peru / 17.3.1972 11248 / Coll. J. Åkerman // MZLU 00221052; [Male]. Rio Napo Peru / 17.3.1972 11279 / Coll. J. Åkerman // MZLU 00221051. Distribution. Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru (Monné 2024b, Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2024; Roguet 2024). Anisopodus prolixus is recorded from Peru, but without specific locality (Monné et al. 2012; Monné & Chaboo 2015; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2024; Monné 2024b). Thus, Loreto (Rio Napo) is the first record of region and locality for the species in Peru. Remarks. It is interesting to note the variation in the shape of the dark spots in the middle of the elytra of the female in relation to the type specimen (female holotype). In the type specimen these spots are large with irregular edges (Fig. 15), while in the female specimen examined the spots are small and rounded (Fig. 13a). Also, in the male specimen examined these dark spots are absent (Fig. 14a).
