Peruphorticus gulliveri Erwin & Zamorano 2014

(Figs 16, 17, 18). Habitus: (Fig. 16). Size: [See also Appendix 2] Large for the genus; ABL = 5.52–6.86 mm, SBL = 5.21–6.05 mm, TW (total width) 2.30–3.6 mm, LP = 1.10–1.29 mm, WP = 1.52–1.81 mm, LE = 3.37–4.05 mm. Color: See diagnosis above. Luster: See diagnosis above. Head (Fig. 16): labrum rectangulate, sexsetose, clypeus convex with small tuberculate at middle and clearly demarcation from frons. Frons shallowly convex with moderately depressed lateral sulci, occiput shallowly domed; neck broad. Eyes large, moderately convex, longitudinal diameter coequal with length of antennomere 2 + 3; gena very short and flat. Prothorax. Pronotum (Fig. 16) markedly broad and cordiform, about half as long as head (LP/LH: mean, males 1.51, females 1.49), moderately broader than long (W/L, mean: males, 1.39, females, 1.41); margin narrowly explanate with seta at anterior third and at hind angle; base convex and laterally depressed; hind angle flared laterally, slightly obtusely produced; multipunctate and rugose, setiferous, punctures large and deep. Pterothorax. Normal for tribe. Elytron about same width as pronotum (WP/TW: mean, both sexes, 0.628), moderately convex, intervals moderately convex and slightly more so laterally, interval 3 with very shallow fossae. Hind wings fully developed. Legs (Fig. 16). Overall, normal for subgenus. Male front tarsus with tarsomeres 1–3 slightly dilated and each ventrally with two biserial rows of white articulo-setae. Abdominal sterna. Setation as for genus. Male genitalia (Fig. 17, see Fig. 61 for attribute labels). Median lobe with basal lobe about one-fifth length of shaft, basal opening small. Shaft moderately robust, sinuate ventrally, dorsally membranous except for two short sclerotized strips flanking distal part of long ostial opening; in ventral aspect constricted toward rather small hooked apex, preapically with prominent ridges lateral to a central trough, in lateral aspect, ridges converge in a small but prominently projected point. Parameres broad, apices rounded; left paramere longer than right paramere, about three quarters length of shaft (measured in left lateral aspect). Endophallus with two fields of densely packed spines. Female genitalia (Fig. 18). Ovipositor with broad laterotergite (lt) and two gonocoxites (gc 1, gc 2); gonocoxite 1 spinose (short thick setae); gonocoxite 2 moderately falcate, base (b) large, broad, blade (bl) rather short, with two dorsal ensiform setae (des), ensiform setae short; without ventral preapical nematiform setae. Reproductive tract proximally with short, broad bursa copulatrix (bc), continuous at its distal end with common oviduct (co) and short bulbous bifid spermatheca (sp), latter of three bulb sections; villous canal (vc) extended from near base of spermatheca well up in common oviduct; spermathecal gland (sg) bulbous; spermathecal gland duct (sgd) long, slender, attached to spermatheca at middle bulb.

(Fig. 79) Currently known from Ecuador and Perú, but likely more widespread.
