Record
1 female (MNHN) Peru: \Mission de Sarayacu (Riv. Oucayale) [Ucayali] [handwritten in green paper] \ CO 47 [handwritten in a circular yellowish paper] \ MUSEUM PARIS PÉROU PAMPAS [sic] DEL SACRAMENTO DE CASTELNAU 1847 [written in light brown paper] \ [circular blue paper, without information]\.
Comments and comparative notes
The specimen was collected at Sarayacu Mission (6°47'S, 75°07'W, Fig. 41) during the French Scientific Expedition to the Pampa del Sacramento, Peru, in 1847. It resembles females of Falsocis brasiliensis, Falsocis egregius sp. n. and Falsocis occultus sp. n. in having the epipleura narrow posteriorly. However, the shallow punctation of pronotum resembles mostly that of the former two species. Female Falsocis brasiliensis from Jussari (Brazil) are similar in color, but body is more elongate. It is very large, with a length of near 3mm. Only females of Falsocis occultus sp. n. reach such a length. A subquadrate body is also observed in a few Falsocis brasiliensis, but the largest females of this species are only 2.4mm long. The very transverse pronotum, twice as long as wide, does not occur in any other known Falsocis species. This female from Peru possibly belongs to another new species, but description is not possible without examining a male. Measurements (in mm) and ratios are as follows: TL 3.05; PL 1.00; PW 2.00; EL 2.00; EW 2.11; GD 1.68; PL/PW 0.50; EL/EW 0.95; EL/PL 2.00; GD/EW 0.80; TL/EW 1.45.
