Abstract
Mestosoma junki n.sp., described from the vicinity of Iquitos, Peru, is distinguished from known relatives by the colour pattern (dorsally black with a bright red median band) and details in body, leg, and gonopod structure. It differs from other species of Mestosoma except M. hylaeicum JEEKEL, 1963, by inhabiting whitewater (varzea) inundation forest in which it appears to be possibly an obligate arboricole at least in the adult stage
