Black (except apical tip of epandrium, reddish brown), yellow setose; epandrium strongly narrowed apically, narrow apex long and curved upwards, meeting the extremely developed subepandrial sclerite, which is strongly curved basally and broadened at apex due to strong ventral process with rounded apex (Figs 4–5); cercus very long, four times as long as broad (Figs 9–10); gonostylus narrow, hook-like (Fig. 8); gonocoxite entirely sclerotized, narrowed apically, gonocoxal apodeme large, flattened (Fig. 8); ejaculatory apodeme wide in lateral view, twice length of phallus (Fig. 7); parameral sheath with ventral crest, tooth-like (Fig. 7); hypandrium dome-like in ventral view, posterior apex well projected, narrow and rounded (Figs 5–6).</p><p>Female (Figs 11–15).

Good.</p><p>Taxonomic discussion. Ommatius amaru sp. nov., can be readily distinguished from all of its congeners, including Ommatius uturuncu sp. nov., by the extremely developed subepandrial sclerite (Figs 4–5, 9–10) and the additional features given in the diagnosis above. Additionally, the wholly black femora in all legs (Fig. 1) and the presence of 1–3 anterior and 3–5 posterior posteroventral macrosetae yellow or white (Fig. 2) help to separate this species from other species in the ampliatus group. The most similar species is O. ampliatus in which the subepandrial sclerite is only slightly pronounced ventrally at the apex; the apex of the epandrium is smaller in length and clavate distally; the gonocoxite has 3 long and thin macrosetae which are lacking in Ommatius amaru sp. nov.</p><p>Distribution.

Abdomen (Fig. 16). Black, yellowish setose, except on tergites 5 to 8, mostly black setose; lateral marginal macrosetae on tergite 1 yellow. Terminalia (Figs 17, 19–20). Black (except narrow apex of epandrium, apex of gonocoxite and gonostylus, reddish brown), mostly yellow setose, except some black setae on epandrium; epandrium with two apical processes, one dorsal, prominent, L-shaped, pointed apically and abruptly curved upwards, another sub-dorsal, rod-like, long and narrow, as long as base of epandrium and also curved upwards (Fig. 17); subepandrial sclerite with ventral process with truncate apex, rounded in lateral view and rectangular in ventral view (Fig. 22); gonostylus long and narrow, pointed apically (Figs 24–25); gonocoxite less sclerotized apically and posteriorly, in area of insertion of the gonostylus, gonocoxal apodeme virtually absent (Figs 24–25); ejaculatory apodeme slightly wide in lateral view, as long as phallus (Fig. 23); hypandrium dome-like in ventral view, posterior apex projected, thin and rounded (Figs 17, 20).</p><p>Female (Figs 26–30).

A female paratype from Ayacucho presents hind femur apically with two anteroventral macrosetae black, in addition the abdomen is mostly black setose dorsally.</p><p>Holotype condition. Right foreleg missing.</p><p>Taxonomic discussion. Ommatius kuntur sp. nov. can be separated from other species in the ampliatus group by the diagnosis given above. Additionally, other useful characters to separate this species are palpus partially to predominantly brown setose; fore and mid femora at least yellow on basal third to half posteriorly (Fig. 16); hind femur mostly dark reddish brown to black (Fig. 16); and unusually thick gonocoxal macroseta absent (Figs 24–25).</p><p>The most similar species is O. quadratus (Figs 58–65). However, through a comparison of the original description, drawings, and images of the holotype, some slight differences are noted. O. quadratus has a dark reddish brown hind femur with the extreme base yellow (Fig. 62), while Ommatius kuntur sp. nov., has a shiny black hind femur with only the extreme base ventrally with a small dark reddish spot (Fig. 16). The hind tibia in O. quadratus is almost entirely yellow with apical third dark yellow; hind tarsus almost completely yellow with last four tarsomeres slightly dark brown towards apex (Fig. 58). In Ommatius kuntur sp. nov. the apical half of the hind tibia and the hind tarsus are dark brown to almost completely black (Fig. 16).</p><p>The main differences can be observed in the female terminalia. In O. quadratus, according to Scarbrough (2002), the cercus is apically strongly oblique; the internal apical margin of the hypoproct is rounded; the T 9+10 has its apical corner concave with a long spoon-shape depression (Figs 64–65); the S8 has its medioapical margin produced and truncate with corners acutely angled, and sides parallel, slightly raised, joined with a deep notch laterally, notched surface slightly excavated with 1 stout macroseta (Figs 64–65 [socket of macrosetae indicated by yellow arrows]).</p><p>In Ommatius kuntur sp. nov. the cercus is rounded apically; the hypoproct has a small notch at the apical margin, internally, and with a slight projection internally, subapically; the T 9+10 has rectangular corners and its apical corner is straight without long spoon-shaped depression; the S8 also possesses a medioapical margin produced and truncate with acute corners, and sides parallel, slightly raised (Fig. 29). However, the parallel sides are joined to a shallow notch laterally and the notched surface is not excavated and does not possess a stout macroseta (Fig. 29). In contrast, there is a row of 4–5 stout macrosetae obliquely arranged from the proximal two-thirds of the S8 surface to its apical corner (Fig. 29). Such an array of macrosetae is absent in O. quadratus (Figs 64–65).</p><p>Distribution. Peru, Departments of Ayacucho (Moyobamba) and Cuzco (Kosñipata Valley) (Fig. 66). Both montane forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes. Known specimens were collected in April, July, August, October and December.</p><p>Type material.

The most similar species is O. nanciae Vieira, 2015 which can be separated by the subrectangular subepandrial sclerite; hypandrium with distal apex rounded; gonostylus conic distally; ejaculatory apodeme with a dorsal keel and phallus straight to body axis. Additionally, in the male of Ommatius yanantin sp. nov., the vein C is dilated anteriorly (Fig. 48) while in males of O. nanciae it is not dilated.</p><p>Distribution. Peru, Department of Cajamarca, Querocoto (Fig. 66). The type locality corresponds to a Montane shrubland on the western slopes of the Andes. The only known specimen was collected in April.</p><p>Type material.
