Blennidus fitzcarraldi Giachino & Allegro, 2011: 23

Type locality. Peru, Dip. Ancash, San Luis, laguna Huachucocha, m 4200.

Examined material. HT ♂ (CAl); 47 PTT (35 ♂ and 12 ♀) (complete TS) (CAl, CCa, CGi, CMo, CVi, BMNH, MNHNP, MRSN, MSNM, UASM).

Note. This species is easily distinguished from the others from Cordillera Blanca ( B. huascarani and B. unistria) by the markedly angulate hind angles of pronotum. Because of the similarities in external morphology and in male genitalia, its closest relative is probably B. unistria .

Distribution. Restricted to the Dept. Ancash, within Cordillera Blanca.

Habitat. All the recorded specimens (legit G. Allegro) are from high altitude (4,200–4,450 m a.s.l.) Andean grasslands.
