ABSTRACT. Peruprion presently contains five species, including P. crassifemoratum sp.n. from Junin Province, central Peru. It differs from the morphologically especially similar P. affine Kraus, 1956, also from Junin Province, primarily by a much lighter, mainly light brown to pallid colouration and the slightly, but clearly incrassate ♂ femora 5–7.
