Measurements. Antennomeres length: 1st: 0.6–0.7; 2nd: 1.0; 3rd: 1.6–1.7; 4th: 3.4–3.5; 5th: 3.5–3.7; head length: 1.6–1.9; head width: 2.3–2.5; pronotal length: 2.2–2.7; pronotal width: 7.6–8.2; scutellum length: 5.5–5.9; scutellum width: 4.6– 4.7; abdominal width: 6.1–6.9; total length: 11.5–12.3.

Etymology. Name given by the locality where the types were collected, the region of the Tambopata River.

Diagnosis. Antennae dark brown ( Fig. 2 I). Humeral angles apices and posterolateral margins covered by a black spot that extends to the ventral surface ( Figs. 1 I, 2 I). Corium with veins forming a “Y” or not close to a small spot ( Fig. 1 I). Area of evaporatorium dark brown ( Fig. 2 I). Connexival segments green with excavations on segments slightly darker than adjacent area ( Fig. 1 I). Propleura with dark lines around the base of procoxae ( Fig. 2 I). Male: parameres spearhead-shaped, large, dorsally directed, inner margin rounded and outer straight, with a small linear carina on apex ( Fig. 12 D, E); superior process of the genital cup triangular, apex rounded and dorsally directed ( Fig. 12 D, E).

Description. Head. Apex of mandibular plates slightly darker than the rest ( Fig. 2 I). Antennal segments formula: V>IV>III>II>I; segment IV almost equal in length to the V.

Thorax. Pronotum with shallow and brown punctation ( Fig. 1 I). Scutellum with shallow and brown punctation on anterior region, deeper on posterior region ( Fig. 1 I). Corium lateral margins yellow ( Fig. 1 I). Membrane of hemelytra light brown ( Fig. 1 I). Ventral surface with shallow and brown punctation ( Fig. 2 I). Metasternal process elevated anteriorly; anterior arms with rounded apices, receiving the third and fourth segments of rostrum ( Fig. 1 C). Legs brownish (Fig. 02 I).

Abdomen. Distal part of seventh abdominal segment with black spot covering almost ½ of the segment ( Fig. 1 I). Ventral surface with region between segments and pseudosutures darker than adjacent areas ( Fig. 2).

Male ( Fig. 12 A, B, D – F). Pygophore. Dorsal rim, ventral rim and inner walls of the pygophore covered by long setae (Fi. 12 A, B, D, E). Superior process of the genital cup black ( Fig. 12 D, E). Proctiger slightly excavated on laterals, exaction with dense and long setae; dorsal face delimited distally by brown and triangular carina; posterior face triangular and setose ( Fig. 12 D, E). Ventral rim deeply excavated, sinuous, setose, and with a small dark medial spot ( Fig. 12 B, D, E).

Female. Unknown.

Comments. The state of conservation of the material hasn’t allowed us to describe the exact coloration of the species, but probably it is green. See the comments of O. peruensis sp. n.
