(Figs. 19, 60 A–B, 72)
Etymology. The name refers to the shape of the humeral angles (L. glomerosus, like a ball, round).
Material examined. Holotype male. PERU, Satipo: Satipo, XI-1943, P. Paprzyck (CEIOC).
Paratypes. PERU, Satipo: 1♁, Satipo, 16-VII-1937, P. Paprzyck (CEIOC); 1♀, same data, III-1944 (CEIOC).
Measurements (n= 3). Total length: 21.8–23.1; head length: 2.0; head width: 2.8–3.5; pronotum length: 4.2–4.8; pronotum width: 13.3–15.8; scutellum length: 10.1–10.9; scutellum width: 7.5–7.7; abdominal width: 12.5–13.9; length antennomeres: I: 1.0; II: 1.9–2.0; III: 2.0–2.4; IV: 4.3–5.0.
Diagnosis. Large (21.8–23.1 mm). Dorsal body surface brownish olive (Fig. 60 A). Ventral surface dark yellow to greenish with transversal black bands on thorax and abdomen (Fig. 60 B). Mandibular plates deeply furrowed (Fig. 60 A). Antennae reddish brown (Fig. 60 A–B). Pronotum densely punctured, with brown punctures (Fig. 60 A); anterolateral margin and cicatrices with brown punctures. Humeral angles short (1.2 times wider than long); apex with black spot expanding slightly over the pronotal disc in dorsal view and restricted to the angles in ventral view; curved backward (Fig. 60 A–B). Scutellum with brown punctures; posterior part excavated medially; apex not reaching the end of coria (Fig. 60 A). Coria with concolorous with the surrounding surface (Fig. 60 A). Connexival segments with concavities entirely covered by rectangular black spots separated by a large yellow median spot (Fig. 60 A), spots extending ventrally, triangular (Fig. 60 B). Posterolateral angles of connexivum with apices black (Fig. 60 A). Ventral surface, thorax with black bands; dark band of the propleura covering 2/3 of the width of the sclerite (Fig. 60 B). Evaporatorium concolorous with the surrounding surface; peritreme straight (Fig. 60 B). Metasternal process (Fig. 19 G) with arms of anterior bifurcation straight and laterally well expanded at apex; anterior bifurcation slightly excavated receiving fourth rostral segment. Legs with tibiae and tarsi reddish, remaining yellow (not clearly visible on Fig. 60 B). Abdomen with spine of segment III rounded (Figs. 19 G; 60 B). Intersegmental areas covered by solid black bands with well-defined margins, reaching the lateral spots (Fig. 60 B). Pseudosutures concolorous with the surrounding surface (Fig. 60 B, dark lines are a deterioration of the exoskeleton). Near the spiracle there is a circular brown spot. Median longitudinal brown band incomplete, restricted to the segment VII (Fig. 60 B). Trichobothria both parallel to the spiracle. Posterolateral angles of segment VII not exceeding the level of apices of laterotergites IX (Fig. 19 F). Male genitalia, dorsal side of the pygophore with a suffused brown area occupying 1/3 of the surface (Fig. 19A–B). Posterolateral angles of pygophore very developed, projected laterally, apices with spots blacks (Fig. 19 A–C). Superior processes of the genital cup narrow, triangular, continuing ventrally in a smooth high carina (Fig. 19 B, E). Parameres (Fig. 19 D–E) with brown margins; anterior lobe inconspicuous and straight; dorsal lobe subtriangular and rounded, with curved apex; posterior lobe subtriangular. Proctiger, posterior face triangular (Fig. 19 D–E). Surface ventral with a suffused brown area occupying 2/3 of the surface (Fig. 19 C). Ventral rim with lateral subdistal tuft of setae; with expansions little developed, rounded and brown (Fig. 19 B–C). Female genitalia, valvifers VIII with concolorous with the surrounding surface punctures; sutural margins contiguous, brown and not divergent; posterior margin in V-shaped excavation, brown and slightly arched. Laterotergites VIII with two dark spots on outer lateral margins. Laterotergites IX with apices acuminate passing the mediotergite VIII (Fig. 19 F).
