Elytra broader than long, subquadrate, sides shallowly convex, shoulders simple. Mbct 3 absent. C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: This new species is remarkable by the 3 - segmented antennal club and the small size. The aedeagus resembles that of E. longepilosus PUTHZ (both have one very long stout apical seta at the parameres), but the new species is clearly distinct by the 3 - segmented antennal club, fully wings and the much longer median lobe. E t y m o l o g y: The name of this new species refers to the latest Inka-king, who was defeated in 1532, when Pizzarro conquered Peru.	en	Puthz, V.
