Abstract

The hemipteran Stenomacra tungurahuana Brailovsky & Mayorga, 1997 (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Largidae) remains known from just two localities in the inter-Andean valley of Ecuador. No ecological information nor description of its colouration in life have been reported. In this contribution, I provide the first record of S. tungurahuana on the northeastern slopes of the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes and the first description of its colouration in life, including photographs, based on a specimen from San Isidro Lodge, province of Napo, ca. 108 km from the species’ type locality.
