Abstract
A new species of the New World genus Trivialia Malloch from Peru is described and illustrated, along with discussion of unusual head morphology in Lauxaniidae. This new species represents an odd case where only a single known species in an otherwise non-dimorphic genus displays extreme sexual dimorphism.
