Abstract:

We describe here a new species in the genus Disersus Sharp, 1882 from the Otongachi Reserve in Ecuador. Disersus otongachi sp.nov. is externally similar to other representatives of the genus, however, this species can be clearly distinguished for significantly longer antennae and the unique shape of the male genitalia.
