Wild Pamphobeteus

I spent 3 weeks in the Ecuadorian Amazon last month. Was fortunate enough to find some cool T’s out in their home.
Are they really from the amazonian, east of the cordillera?
If yes you can sort out P. sp CASCADA and P. sp MACHALA too. Both are from the western side.

You’re right! That’s a key piece of information. I did mention I was in the Amazon. However I forgot to mention this species was found in a Cloud forest on the western slope of the Andes! Thanks for that!!
 
Ok, so think the genus is right.
But i can't remember any Pamphobeteus sp from the coastal side, that have these long red setae only on the last third of the abdomen.

I had some people on iNaturalist telling me it looks like a potential form of the sp. “nigricolor” because of the red setae on the abdomen. However they haven’t been seen in that range before. Just have to wait and keep up with new IDs as they come out I guess 😂
 
I know 2 forms of these P. sp "NIGRICOLOR".
The first is the sp. GOLIATH from the NW. The second is similar (especially in the shape of the bulb) with some P. sp. from the SW. From the second you can find pictures in my media.
For me none of these both really fits.
