Abstract
Archaeopodagrion armatum sp. nov. is described and illustrated (holotype ♂ Ecuador, Zamora Chinchipe Prov., forest S of Zamora (4°07′18″S, 78°58′22″W), 02 iv 2008, leg. KJT; in FSCA). The new species is distinct from A. bicorne and A. bilobatum by the pair of highly recurved processes on the hind margin of the prothorax of both sexes, and a hair pencil and preapical spike-shaped process on the dorsal surface of the male paraprocts.
