Blennidus (Agraphoderus) mesotibialis (Straneo, 1993) (Figs. 30, 68, 104) Ogmopleura mesotibialis Straneo, 1993: 377 Blennidus mesotibialis (Straneo, 1993): Lorenz, 2005a: 263 Blennidus mesotibialis (Straneo, 1993): Lorenz, 2005b: 640 Blennidus mesotibialis (Straneo, 1993): Allegro & Giachino, 2011a: 297, 306 Type locality. Peru, Cuzco, 3400 m. Examined material. HT ♂ (CSt at MSNM); 10 PTT ♂ and 2 PTT ♀ (CMa, CSt); 23 ♂ and 26 ♀ (CAl, CGi, CMa). Note. Species easily distinguished by the distinctive shape of aedeagus, which is strongly bent downwards in lateral view. The apical blade of the aedeagus of the HT is broken; for this reason the aedeagus of a PT is illustrated. Distribution. Andean area of Cuzco, from Calca to Sicuani-La Raya. Habitat. The altitude data reported on the labels (3,400–4,650 m a.s.l.), as well as the captures by one of the authors (G. Allegro) at La Raya Pass (4,300 m), suggest a preference of this species for the Andean grassland.
