Abstract

A new species of the genus Macrophyllodromia, M. obscura sp. n., is described from Peru. An emended diagnosis of the genus Macrophyllodromia is given based on the characters of the hypandrium and male genitalia. The taxonomy of the family Ectobiidae and the place of Macrophyllodromia in it are briefly analyzed.
