Coleoptera Elmidae Larainae Hypsilara Venezuela DNA

Abstract

A new species of the genus Hypsilara Maier & Spangler, 2011, collected in the Eastern Venezuela, is described and illus-trated. We provide habitus photographs, detail drawings of both male and female genitalia, and description of some mor-phological features, which were omitted in the description of the genus. Included are also remarks on the distribution and genetic distance of the Hypsilara species and possible relations to other South American Larainae.
