Diagnosis

Males of Hatitia oxapampa sp. nov. resemble those of H. canchaque and H. machiguenga sp. nov. by the projected tegulum ( Figs 11D–H , 12C–H , 13C–H ) but differ by the triangular projection of the tegulum, the short curved cymbial projection positioned retrolaterally, and the large median and hook-shaped apophysis ( Fig. 12C–H ).

Etymology

The specific epithet is a toponymic in apposition and refers to the type locality.
