(Fig. 38, 64). Habitus: (Fig. 38) Size: [See also Table 10] Medium-size for the genus; ABL = 2.582–3.199 mm, SBL = 2.542–2.688 mm, TW (total width) 1.341–1.473 mm, LP = 0.513–0.591 mm, WP = 0.660–0.717 mm, LE = 1.578–1.712 mm. Color: See diagnosis above. Luster: See diagnosis above. Head (Fig. 38): as in description for genus above. Prothorax. Pronotum (Fig. 38) moderately broad, slightly narrower than head across eyes (WH/WP, mean both sexes: 1.103), longer than head (LP/LH, mean both sexes: 1.327), wider than longer (WP/LP, mean both sexes: 1.226); markedly cordiform and convex, lateral margin effaced with seta at anterior third on slightly raised area; apex markedly constricted; anterior angle feebly produced, hind angle slightly produced and setose; median line feebly define as an infuscate line, transverse impressions punctate, punctures infuscate; surface smooth throughout. Pterothorax. Normal for genus, see description for genus above. Elytra markedly convex; at apical third twice as wide as head across eyes (WH/TW, mean both sexes: 0.535) and pronotum (WP/TW, mean both sexes: 0.520), longer than wide. Elytral interneurs evident as short discontinuous rows of widely spaced coarse punctures. Hind wings fully developed. Legs. Overall, normal for genus, see description for genus above. Abdominal sterna. Overall, normal for genus, see description for genus above. Male genitalia (Fig. 64, see Fig. 61 for attribute labels). Median lobe with phallobase moderate in length, about a fourth the length of shaft, basal opening large, oriented parallel to the central part of the shaft. Shaft broad, slightly twisted ventrally, dorsally sclerotized except for short ostium; in ventral aspect tapered toward rather broad apex, in lateral aspect, a thick rounded apex. Left paramere very large and broad, right small and triangular; apex of left paramere lobate much longer than right paramere, about two-thirds the length of shaft (measured in left lateral aspect). Endophallus with one median spine, and one large distal spine. Female genitalia. Not investigated, presumably similar to that of Asklepia demiti sp. n.

Distribution

(Fig. 78). This species has been found at locations on both the clear-water and black-water systems of the upper and middle Amazon River drainage system. But that does not at all indicate its real distribution: as has been pointed out above, very small beetles are inadequately sampled, especially in the Neotropics.
