Type locality. Peru.
Examined material. HT ♀ (CTs at ZIRA).
Note. This species was described from a single ♀ specimen deposited in the Tschitschérine Collection (ZIRA). Straneo & Vereshagina (1991) compared the HTs of Blennidus tardus and Blennidus anxius noting some consistent differences; later Straneo (1993) considered B. tardus a synonym of B. anxius, evaluating the differences between the 2 HT as intraspecific variability. Our study of the HTs of both species emphasized some evident differences, mainly in the morphology of pronotum; therefore we prefer to keep these species separate, in agreement with Lorenz (2005a).
