Abstract

The first report of the genus and species Zefevazia peruana (Boucomont, 1902) for Ecuador is presented. The species is previously known only from a few localities in northern Peru, and is now also recorded from Santa Elena, southern Ecuador. This report represents the northernmost record of the genus and species.
